TRANSIT BETWEEN THE HOTEL AND OUR VENUE

ORDER A RIDE We suggest you use one of the ride share apps (Lyft or Uber) to get back and forth. ***We are not coordinating a shuttle between hotel and venue*** PARKING FOR HOMESTEAD ON THE ROOF There is only some limited street parking available near Homestead on the Roof. If you drive and park nearby, you'll need to manually feed the "meter" every 2 hours or you'll need to download and use the ParkChicago app by entering your license plate number and payment info (which will allow you to extend your time every two hours via the app). Alternately, we've heard really good things about Spot Hero (though haven't tried it ourselves). Check it out ahead of time to try to reserve a nearby parking spot.

Travel Note

TIMING

The doors open (and the bar) opens at 3pm. If you're staying at the hotel, plan to request your ride between 2:45 and 3:00 to make sure you leave ample travel time. We'll be starting the ceremony at 4pm and we want to see your faces there, smiling at us in love and support as we say our vows!

Hotel

Royal Sonesta Chicago Riverfront

WE'LL BE STAYING HERE TOO! To book, don't forget to use the booking link for the group block (below). NOTES: - Negotiated room rate applies to Friday and Saturday night... Wanna check in earlier or stay later? That's ok, because our group rate is available for 3 days prior and post BUT it's more complicated to book. You can A) book online for Friday and Saturday nights and then call the hotel and add on extra nights or B) just call the hotel and book your whole stay over the phone with our group code. - If all the rooms in the block get booked and you're getting an error while trying to book, don't despair. Call the hotel directly and ask to have a room added to our block at the group rate we've negotiated. The cutoff date for reservations at our negotiated rate is 7/26/21. Our block name is "Johnson/Carney Wedding Room Block" if ever you need it.

Discount Code - Group Code: 082621JCWB (should apply automatically)
