Question
Where can I stay in Joliet on the wedding night?
Answer
We've booked a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn & Suites. See the "Travel" section of this site for details to book. We suggest booking your room early to ensure you get a room. You don't need to pay until you arrive and can cancel with at least 24 hours notice. Of course there are other hotels nearby. Under the "travel" section are listed others we visited in person that were nice near the Holiday Inn.

If you are arriving after 5:00pm, you will need to get an Uber or drive yourself. The coach bus will return guests from the Haley Mansion to the Holiday Inn at 10:00, 10:45 and 11:30.

We want everyone to enjoy the celebration, including the meal! Our catering team is prepared to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions and preferences. If you have specific dietary needs, please let us know when you RSVP so we can ensure you’re well taken care of. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We’d love for everyone to dress to impress for our special day! Think formal or cocktail attire—suits, ties, dresses, or jumpsuits are all welcome. While the ceremony will take place outdoors, the dinner and dancing will be held indoors, so you’ll only be outside for a short time. Since it’s a summer wedding, feel free to choose lighter fabrics and breathable styles to stay comfortable. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you, looking fabulous!
Question
What is there to do after the reception ends?
Answer
The coach bus will return guests to the Holiday Inn where they have a bar and there is a fire pit area where you can hang out until 2am, as long as there aren't noise complaints. :)
