Travel
If your time in the Chicagoland area will be brief, we recommend staying in Oak Park or another surrounding suburb. However, if you're planning for a longer trip that involves sight seeing in the city, we'd recommend staying in Chicago and taking a rideshare service to the wedding.
Please note, an Uber to Forest Park from Chicago in the afternoon can take 30-45 min. depending on traffic, so please just plan accordingly. The evenings are a bit less hectic, with drive times coming in closer to 0-25 min.
