We sure do. Check out our Travel section on the website for more information on preferred hotels and discount codes.
No shuttle is needed! The venue is a quick drive or short walk from the Hyatt Place Hotel in Hyde Park. If you're staying elsewhere, an Uber or Lyft is your best bet.
Unfortunately, parking near the venue is limited, and street parking is only available. We recommend using a car share. If you're staying at the Sophy or Hyatt, it is only a 2-minute drive to The Penthouse Hyde Park.
If your invitation says "and Guest," then yes. If not, please don't be offended, but we would prefer it if it were just you. We promise you'll have a good time.
