No. Uber, Lyft, and public transit services are available in Chicago. Additionally, many hotels in the Rosemont area provide free shuttles to and from O'Hare airport.

If you feel the need to rent a car, there is an onsite paid parking at the hotel and free parking at the venue.

The official wedding ceremony will start promptly at 5:00pm. We request that you arrive at least 15 minutes early to get settled beforehand if you are not attending the ketubah ceremony.

Question

HOW DO I GET FROM THE HOTEL IN ROSEMONT TO THE CITY?

Answer

If you are not renting a car, there are three options available: 1) Uber/Lyft 2) Take the Metra train from Rosemont to Union Station (comfortable, safe, what Robin used in high school to get to the city with her friends). NOTE*** This specific train line (NCS) is ONLY available M-F. Please check online here for more details: https://metra.com/train-lines/ncs. ~$7/person. Estimated timing: ~35mins to arrive in the city. Union Station is the entrance to the fun, so there MAY be more walking or transit involved upon arrival. 3) Blue Line CTA from Rosemont. This line will take you into the city, you will have more freedom on where you can be dropped off. $2.50/person. Definitely has the "city transit charm". Not unsafe, just not the classiest ride. Will take ~1 hour to get to the city (+ more if you have a certain location you are headed towards). ONCE YOU ARE IN THE CITY: Buses are fabulous. Friends in the city can attest. Also ~$2/ride. You can use other CTA lines as well. Avoid the Red line if possible. Otherwise, please use Uber/Lyft, OR, if you have the "midwest might", you could walk.
