Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Great question! If your invitation indicated your date’s name or indicated a plus-one, please bring a date! If it didn’t, while we’d love to meet your date, let’s do that another time. If you’re not sure . . . please don’t hesitate to reach out. We won’t be offended by your inquiry.

Are kids welcome?
Answer
Similar to whether you should bring a date, if your invitation indicated your kids, please bring them. If not, please touch base with us if they are hoping to attend. We want to include as many as possible in our celebration, but our seats our limited. Better to touch base with us ahead of time than be surprised on May 26!
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Great question. If you’d like to stay in the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn area (near Haley’s family), we’d recommend: - Holiday Inn & Suites, Carol Stream - Hampton Inn, Carol Stream We do not have a block of rooms anywhere, so pick your favorite hotel. We trust you to choose what’s best based upon your own location, when you are arriving, and what you’ll be doing while you’re in town. Also note that the Chicago area has great Airbnb homes and apartments. You might check those out as well. For your convenience, we have also added some suggestions for hotels, car rentals, and trains in the TRAVEL section of our website that will allow your stay in Chicagoland to be very enjoyable. Please reach out if you need specific suggestions.

Answer

Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
