Garden Party Formal! Ladies: Midi to long dresses in fun colors, patterns, and textures. Gentlemen: A suit is perfect, colors encouraged.
Our wedding will be a mix of both! Ceremony: Inside a church. Cocktail Hour: On an outdoor patio (with covered spaces), weather permitting. Dinner & Dancing: Inside a stunning glass-enclosed space—weather permitting, the roof may even open up. We recommend dressing comfortably for an evening that may include some outdoor moments.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m. Please plan to arrive at Old St. Patrick's Church starting at 4:30 p.m. to ensure you are seated before the ceremony begins.
We’ve reserved two hotel blocks for our guests, The Hampton Inn West Loop and the JW Marriott. Transportation between the church and reception will be provided by the bride and groom and their families. Arrival and departure transportation is on your own.
Our venues are located in the heart of Chicago’s West Loop, where parking is limited and there is no free parking available. Metered street parking around the neighborhood or pre-booked SpotHero parking spots are available if you need. We recommend walking or using Uber or Lyft.
Only if you are prepared to pay high nightly parking fees! Seriously, Chicago offers plenty of parking, but it’s very expensive and not always convenient. Our events provide a shuttle from the Church to the Reception. We recommend you use this or grab an uber/lift, but don’t drive your own vehicle.
Please RSVP by May 15.
