Travel Note
St. Joseph is equidistant and roughly 1.5 hours driving distance between Chicago and Grand Rapids. O'Hare & Midway Airports out of Chicago and Gerald R. Ford Airport out of Grand Rapids would be the closest airports to fly into. We have friends & family coming in from both cities, so if you are looking to find a ride or recommendations on travel, don't hesitate to reach out to the bride and groom! If you aren't renting a car, you may be able to get to St. Joseph via Train. From Chicago, there is an Amtrak Train (see below) that runs between Chicago Union Station to downtown St. Joseph. The stop in St. Joseph is located at 410 1/2 Vine Street, St Joseph, MI 49085 (roughly 1/2 mile from downtown hotel blocks).
