Our dress code is semi-formal. Our reception will be outdoors (Lord-willing! Pray for that weather!) so ladies may want to bring a coat / shawl and men can wear their suit jackets. We will also have blankets for guests who are feeling especially chilly :)
Yes! There is parking at the church and street parking for the reception venue, however reception parking will be limited. If guests feel comfortable, we recommend parking at a nearby garage and walking to the ceremony and reception. The SP+ Parking garage is located at 150 Forest Ave, Oak Park and is a 12 minute walk to the reception (2 minutes from the church). Avenue Parking Garage Village located at 720 North Blvd, Oak Park is also available and is an 8 minute walk to Cheney, and just a few minutes from the church. Please note that we will also be reserving the street parking spots immediately outside of the reception venue entrance for the bridal party and immediate family, but there is other street parking along the streets surrounding Cheney Mansion.
Please check your RSVP to see if you have a plus one assigned. Unfortunately, we cannot welcome additional guests beyond who is invited.
Yes! We would love for all children listed in your family’s RSVP to join us. Please note that little ones under two will not be specifically named due to catering head count considerations, but they are absolutely still invited!
