FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive 20 minutes prior to our 11 AM ceremony. This will allow you sufficient time to check your coat, leave a voice mail on our guest phone, and find your seat.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We ask that everyone wear formal attire. We like to dress up on our wedding day and we ask that you do, too. We are having a winter, timeless, vintage wedding. Please wear a pretty dress and a handsome suit, given that we are only getting married once.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

It will likely be cold. Since this is a winter wedding, please dress appropriately for the weather and occasion, as there may or may not be snow. It is the Chicago area, after all. We will have a coat check available.

Question

Is there parking available at the wedding venue?

Answer

There will be plenty of parking spots available at no charge.

Question

Question

Can I bring my gift to the wedding?
