FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
We recommend arriving 30 minutes early so you can get settled before the ceremony begins.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
We’re keeping the celebration kid-free. We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only event.
Question
What’s the dress code?
Answer
Black tie optional. Think formal — tuxes and gowns are welcome, but a sharp suit or cocktail/formal dress works great too.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
More details coming soon, but it will likely be street parking or SpotHero options nearby. If you’re staying close to the venue, we recommend taking an Uber or a taxi to make the night easier.
Question
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony and dinner will be outdoors (in an enclosed space), and cocktail hour + reception will be indoors. It’s August in Chicago, so it’ll be warm — but the outdoor area has plenty of fans to keep things comfortable.
