FAQs

You have questions, we have answers!
Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

No. We want you to be able to kick back, relax, and celebrate with us, which is why we have decided to have an adults-only event. We appreciate you making arrangements to leave the kids at the home.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unless your invite states that you have one, we kindly ask that you do not bring a plus one. If you are unsure, please ask.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We ask you to dress in formal attire. Chicago in October can be unpredictable - it may be 75 or 55! It's always best to have options for both. Both the ceremony and reception will be inside.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

Rooms are available at a special rate at the Chicago Athletic Association from Friday to Sunday. Please click the hotel link above to book online or call and reference the Mihalik-Pappas wedding. If you choose not to stay at here or miss the block, there are plenty of nearby hotels. We recommend The Palmer House, The Congress or the Silversmith Hotel.

Valet parking is available 24/7 at 71 E Madison for $79.00 per night. You can also use the Madison garages that are underground. Please be mindful of signs if you choose to street park.
