Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes - for a fee. The IDS Center Ramp is located at 716 S Marquette Ave, between S Seventh St and S Eight St. After parking, take elevators to level M. Valet parking is also available at the hotel's front entrance. Valet hours are 6am-10pm. Copy and paste the following link into your browser to view parking ramp rates: https://www.mpi.org/docs/librariesprovider33/default-document-library/marquette-hotel-parking-guide.pdf There are at least 6 other parking ramps within a 3 minute walk of the hotel - I recommend using "Spot Hero" online if you want alternative options!
Question
What time should we arrive?
Answer
We recommend arriving 30 minutes early to give yourself time to park, find your seat, and settle in before the ceremony begins.
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
Please refer to your invitation - it will indicate if a guest or plus one was included.
Question
Are kids welcome?

To maintain the elegant atmosphere of our celebration, we kindly request that our wedding be an adults-only event. We will, however, be joined by a few beloved children from our families who hold a special place in our hearts.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We're having an unplugged ceremony - we'd love for you to be fully present. After the "I do's", snap away and share your photos with us!
Question
Is the ceremony and reception at the same location?
Answer
Yes! Everything will take place in the same venue so you can relax and enjoy the celebration without travel in between.
