FAQs
Question
What date should I rsvp by?
Answer
Kindly RSVP by August 1st, 2025. If you cannot attend, we will miss you! If you miss this RSVP date, we may be unable to accommodate your presence, as we will be sending final headcounts to our venue shortly after this deadline.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! The dress code is formal. This means suits and cocktail dresses are welcome, and so are tuxes and gowns. No black dresses for the women please. The venue also has a strict no blue jeans policy. We also kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, creams, and any colors too light that may be confused for white in pictures.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate plus ones at our reception unless specifically indicated on your RSVP page. If you are confused, when you RSVP and type in your name, you will see if you have a plus one! We want everyone to share in the celebration and will ensure that folks will be around familiar and friendly company. We appreciate your understanding!
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
We love your littles ones - however, we have decided to keep our reception an adults-only event with the exception of children in our immediate family or children traveling with parents. Please refer to the RSVP tab to see if your invitation includes your children.
Question
What time should I arrive to your wedding reception?
Answer
We would love for you to arrive at 5PM! We are using the time between 5PM and 6PM as a cocktail hour. Dinner will be at 6PM. Come join us at 5PM, mingle with our friends and family, and have some tasty food!
Question
Is the reception indoors or outdoors?
Answer
There is a patio that we have access to during the reception, but the vast majority of the reception will be indoors. The cocktail hour will be outdoors, weather permitting. Guests can go in and out from the reception on to the patio as they please at any time during the night!
Question
Which airport should I fly into if I am coming from out of town?
Answer
We highly suggest you fly into O’Hare airport! The Marriott that we have a room block at is about 15 minutes from O'Hare. Also, The Marriott has a free shuttle to and from O'Hare airport and the hotel. The Park Ridge Country Club is also only a 15 minute drive from O’Hare and the hotel as well!
Question
If I drive, will there be parking?
Answer
Yes! The Park Ridge Country Club will have a valet service for the night that is included with our reception!
Question
Could you suggest places to eat, drink, and see while I am in town for your reception?

Yes, of course! We have put a fun list together on the "Things To Do" tab on our website.
