Our ceremony and reception will be held at the Field Museum: 1400 S Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60605 For our guests arriving via Ubers, please instruct your drivers to drop you off at the East entrance. The default drop off location is at the Field's South entrance which will require additional walking around the venue in order to arrive at our Ceremony location. To access the East entrance, you will drive past the venue on E McFetridge Drive to S Special Olympics Drive. Turn left on S Special Olympics Drive, and then loop around the Field Museum's East Parking Lot. You will find the East entrance on your right-hand side.
Our venue does not offer on-site parking. Guests are welcome to self-park in the Soldier Field North parking garage located across Museum Campus Drive from the venue (standard parking rates apply). We highly recommend reserving a parking spot ahead of time due to additional events taking place on Museum Campus. Guests can pre-purchase parking by visiting https://www.soldierfieldparking.com/ and selecting the "Jack Johnson 7/11/26 – North Lot Parking" option.
Yes! Trolleys will pick up guests from our hotel block at The La Salle and transport everyone to the ceremony. Guests staying at our second hotel (located one block away) are welcome to walk to The La Salle to catch the trolley. At the end of the night, shuttles will also run back to The La Salle.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00 PM, but guests are welcome to arrive starting at 5:30 PM. We recommend arriving early to grab a drink, find your seat, enjoy the setting, and settle in before the festivities begin!
Our evening ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors on the lawn and steps while the reception will take place inside. Guests will need to walk briefly on grass to the ceremony, and as such we do not recommend stiletto or otherwise-thin heels. We will provide shoe protection for those who need it. Should weather not permit (including extreme heat!), all events will be moved indoors.
Our celebration will be formal attire. Think elegant evening wear - dark colored suits for men (ties optional - it's summer, we get it!) and floor-length gowns or elevated cocktail dresses for ladies.
Please let us know if you'll be joining us by June 1st. You're welcome to RSVP by returning the card included in your invitation or simply RSVP right here on our website.
Absolutely! We love kids and would be delighted to have them celebrate with us. Whether they're dancing on the floor or sneaking an extra slice of cake, little ones are more than welcome to join the fun. To help everyone enjoy the day (including parents!), we'll be providing on-site child care during cocktail hour and dinner with fun activities and experienced caregivers.
We’ve arranged on-site childcare with Chicago Super Sitters in a classroom located next to our reception space. Care will be available during cocktail hour and dinner, including assistance with feeding children during cocktail hour. The space will be set up with toys, games, and activities, and parents are welcome to check on their children or check them in and out at any time.
