We ask that you dress up with us for our wedding weekend! Friday Welcome Cocktails: Dressy Casual. Men can wear a collared shirt and pants, no jeans please. Women can wear a dress or dressy pants. Saturday Wedding Ceremony & Reception: Cocktail Attire. Men can plan to wear a suit or jacket & tie. Women can plan to wear tea-length, midi, or full length dresses. We love fun summer colors!
The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:30pm. We encourage you to arrive early so we can begin on time. Due to museum hours, please arrive no earlier than 5:30pm.
We will have shuttles picking up guests from the Intercontinental hotel and taking them to the ceremony. The Courtyard and the Embassy are a short walk to the Intercontinental. At the end of the night, we will have shuttles drop guests back at all 3 hotels. Due to an event at Soldier Field, we strongly recommend taking the shuttles, as it will be difficult to call an uber at certain points in the evening. Stay tuned for more details on transportation.
Due to a concert at nearby Soldier Field, Ubers will not be able to reach the venue from approximately 10:30 pm - 12 am. Exact timing is TBD. If you plan to drive, cars can leave the museum campus area at any time, but Ubers will not be able to enter until after midnight. We will have shuttles transporting from the venue to the hotels, and you can call an Uber from there. However, we strongly encourage guests to stay late, as we have a special afterparty at the Adler from 12 to 1 am in the Grainger Sky Theater! By that time, all concert traffic will have cleared out, and ubering should be no problem. We will also have a final shuttle at the end of the night.
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate the guests who will be formally listed on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP.
We have chosen to make our special day adults only. We hope this gives you the opportunity to relax and celebrate with us.
