FAQs

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We’ve reserved hotel blocks at two convenient downtown options: The Westin Chicago River North and Renaissance Chicago Downtown, located just across the river from each other. Please visit the Travel tab for booking details.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Our ceremony and reception dress code is Black Tie Optional. We’d love for guests to lean into a romantic fall palette with rich autumn tones and elevated textures. Weather permitting, cocktail hour will take place outdoors before moving inside for the remainder of the evening, so keep an early October Chicago evening in mind when planning your look! For inspiration, we’ve linked a Pinterest board with outfit ideas: https://pin.it/1bt2aas5K

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by September 1, 2026, so we can finalize the details for our wedding weekend and provide final counts to our vendors. Each guest will also be asked to select their entrée choice while RSVPing.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

If a plus-one or additional family members have been included, they will appear when you RSVP - if so, we’d love for them to join the celebration! Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate additional guests beyond those listed on the invitation. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we absolutely adore your little ones, we’re planning for our wedding weekend to be an adults-only celebration. We hope you’ll join us for a (well-deserved) night out!

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Yes - complimentary shuttle transportation will be provided from our hotel blocks to the ceremony at Old St. Patrick’s Church for guests staying within our room blocks. Transportation will also be provided for all guests from the ceremony to the reception at Revel Motor Row. We kindly ask guests to arrange their own transportation home at the conclusion of the evening. Guests staying within our hotel blocks will have the opportunity to indicate whether they plan to utilize shuttle transportation when RSVPing so we can ensure adequate accommodations. Final pickup times and shuttle locations will be shared on the Travel page of our website closer to the wedding weekend and included in printed welcome materials available at hotel check-in.

Question

Is there parking at the venues?

Answer

Parking is limited at both venues, so we encourage guests to utilize the complimentary shuttle transportation whenever possible. However, we understand parking may be needed for certain circumstances or to better accommodate older guests, and kindly ask that someone from your party notify one of our families of your plans accordingly. Please visit our Travel tab for more details on available parking at each venue.
