FAQs
Question
Are children invited to the wedding?
Answer
We love your little ones, but want you to have a night out as well! The wedding will be no children.
Question
Is there transportation from hotels to the wedding?
Answer
As we are not doing a hotel block, there will be no transportation to the wedding. Uber or Lyft is extremely accessible in the city though. If you're choosing to drive there is also plenty of parking at the venue (overnight parking allowed). Please remember to account for Chicago traffic!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please arrive to the venue by 4:45 PM CST. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM CST (and you know Holly will not be late).
Question
Is the venue indoor or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony is outside, but it is covered (if it rains) and if it's chilly (let's hope not), there will be heat lamps. The reception is indoors. Ladies - for the shoes, there isn't any grass, but the ceremony is on bricks for heel consideration.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate those formally invite. If you received a plus one, it will be addressed on your invitation and RSVP section of the website.
Question
What should I do if I can't make it?
Answer
You'll be missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "no", so we can plan accordingly.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code for our wedding is "semi-formal", so your goal is going to be striking a balance between elegance and comfort, more dressed-up than casual, but not as formal as black tie. Also, keep in mind, the ceremony will be a hybrid of outside and inside, and the reception will be inside. If you're still reading this FAQ, I (Tyler) will make the safe assumption that you are a guy attending our wedding, and you are likely trying to avoid a last minute panic and/or argument with your significant other. Don't worry, I got you, and I'll start with you guys first. So, here's my recommendation, your outfit can be a suit and dress shirt, with or without a tie, or a blazer with dress pants also works. Ties are optional, but I recommend giving it a shot. It can elevate your look, and you can have some fun with it*. *Keep the fun within reason, here's some colors to keep in mind while you think through the suit, dress shirt, and tie combos. Neutrals, navy, or medium tones are safe bets. Bonus points for subtle spring elements. Avoid black if you can, that's more formal, and then we will match... Alright, now your shoes, go with some brown or black dress shoes. (for example: oxfords, loafers, or brogues) If you're a guy still feeling unsure after this, just reach out to me (Tyler). I can help you out. ---- For the women attending in case you need a sanity check, here's what I've got. Dresses: Floor length, cocktail dresses, midi dresses, etc. Fabrics like chiffon, silk, satin, or crepe. Shoes: Heels, wedges, or classy flats Accessories: Nice jewelry and a clutch or small handbag Colors: Steer clear of white
