5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
We recommend arriving by 5:00 PM for the ceremony. This will give you plenty of time to account for traffic, find parking, use the restroom, and settle in comfortably before the ceremony starts at 5:30 PM. Heads-up: Chicago’s Friday afternoon/evening traffic can be unpredictable, so plan for extra travel time to avoid any stress. Arriving Early? Check out Midwest Coast Brewing Company, located right next to the Walden! It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a beer, cider, or non-alcoholic drink before 5:00 PM. Their enclosed rooftop is definitely worth a visit! 😊
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Cocktails and light bites immediately following the ceremony at the Walden.
7:00 pm - 11:30 pm
Dinner, Dancing, and Celebration at the Walden. We will have meal options to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions/preferences and/or allergies. :)
