No, the wedding will be held separately, with men and women in different ballrooms. During the bride and groom’s entrance, the groom and his father will join the women’s section.
The Grand & State Ballroom is located on the 4th floor of the hotel. When you exit the elevators, you will find The Grand & State Ballroom directly in front of you. The Empire Room is located near the lobby on the first floor.
We kindly request no children. We ask that you honor the names listed on your RSVP, as seating has been reserved accordingly.
We kindly ask that no photos be taken during the ceremony. Out of respect for us, our families, and our guests, we wish for everyone to be fully present in the moment.
In April, Chicago enjoys the start of spring, with daytime temperatures often in the 50s and 60s and cooler evenings in the 40s. Since our celebration will be indoors, you’ll be comfortable throughout the event, though a light jacket or wrap may be nice for traveling to and from the hotel.
