Q & A

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is black tie optional. The wedding party will be in floor-length dresses and tuxedos. Guests can dress in black tie, but cocktail dresses and suits and ties are welcome too.

Question

Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will take place indoors and is in the same venue as cocktails and reception. Guests will head downstairs to the cocktail hour directly after the ceremony.

Question

Is there parking available?

Answer

There are about 20 spaces available in a gated parking lot on the west side of the building (off Leavitt St.). There is also ample free street parking.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony, to make sure everyone is on time and we can get the party started as scheduled. Walden Chicago is attached to Midwest Coast Brewing Co. if you are looking for a place to stop by prior to the festivities.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event (aside from our flower girl) so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
