Travel Note

Chicago on a Holiday Weekend!

Chicago on a holiday weekend during a very busy wedding season - what a combo! We recommend booking your accommodation as soon as you're able to. We have blocks at two different hotels, both a 5-10 min. drive from the venue. We also recommend looking into Air BnB or VRBO for your trip to Chicago. Check in the neighborhoods Logan Square, Wicker Park, and Bucktown to stay close to the action.

Travel Note

Airport Info

Chicago has two airport options for you - O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW). If you fly into O'Hare and take the Blue line train right from the airport, it will drop you off right at The Robey in 25 mins. Taking public transportation from Midway is a bit more difficult. There are also Ubers and Lyfts available! Expect a 25 min car ride from ORD and a 35 min car ride from MDW.
