Airport options, suggestions for getting around town, and possible places to stay!

Flight

Chicago-O'Hare (ORD)

O'Hare (ORD) is 15 miles west of the wedding venue. Depending on where in the city you're staying, this is likely the better choice of airport. With the exception of Southwest, most airlines think of O'Hare as their Chicago airport hub, so flights into O'Hare may be cheaper and require fewer connections.

Flight

Chicago-Midway (MDW)

Midway (MDW) is 20 miles from the wedding venue and on the opposite side of the city. Unless you're a diehard Southwest fan (like us!) or planning to stay in Lincoln Park, downtown, or on the South Side, Midway would likely be a more difficult option.

Travel Note

Uber/Lyft

Rather than rent a car for your time in Chicago, we suggest relying on rideshares and public transportation: no parking issues, no abstaining from alcohol, no fuss!

House Or Rental

Airbnb

If the hotel options listed below don't fit your style, price range, or ideal location, we encourage folks to look up one of the many other great hotels in Chicago—or just jump on AirBnB! There are nice listings across the city for individuals, couples, or groups.
