FAQs

Question

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Answer

Garden Party Formal! Ladies: Midi to long dresses in fun colors, patterns, and textures. Gentlemen: A suit is perfect, colors encouraged.

Question

WILL THE WEDDING BE INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?

Answer

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.

Question

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?

Answer

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.

Question

WHERE SHOULD I STAY?

Answer

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.

Question

SHOULD I DRIVE TO THE WEDDING?

Answer

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.

Question

SHOULD I RENT A CAR IN CHICAGO?

Answer

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.

Question

WHEN SHOULD I RSVP BY?

Answer

Please RSVP by May 15.

Question

DO I NEED TO RSVP FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS OVER THE WEEKEND?

Answer

Yes, please! Your wedding invitation will arrive prior to our wedding and we’d appreciate your responses timely so we can best plan for our event.

Question

CAN I BRING A GUEST/DATE?

Answer

If a plus one has been extended to you, it will be noted on your invitation and RSVP details.

Question

ARE CHILDREN INVITED?

Answer

If your children are included, you’ll see their names on your invitation.

Question

WHAT DO I DO IF I CAN'T MAKE IT?

Answer

You will be missed! If you cannot attend the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "not attending" so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!
