The ceremony begins promptly at 1:30 PM. We recommend arriving 15-30 minutes early to ensure you’re seated and ready to enjoy the celebration. Once the ceremony starts, doors will close, and guests will not be allowed entry until after the bride and groom’s entrance.
Yes! It’s a black-tie event, so think formal American attire or even better, formal Indian outfits of any color. We can’t wait to see everyone looking their best!
In May, Chicago typically has pleasant but unpredictable weather, with average highs around 65°F and lows near 45°F. But it’s always a good idea to be prepared so we recommend bringing a light jacket and an umbrella, just in case, so you can fully enjoy the celebration no matter the forecast!
Yes! For the ceremony, the church has plenty of parking in the main lot, with additional street parking available on the opposite side of the church on the road parallel to North Avenue if needed. At the reception venue, there is wrap-around parking around the building available to all wedding guests, and an overflow parking lot is located behind the Chez Hotel.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a shuttle to the church and reception hall from the hotel so we highly recommend that our guests flying from out of town to get rental cars, ride-sharing services, or carpooling to make transportation easy.
