Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Thomas Finnegan and Jaclyn Leibforth
Following our ceremony, we invite you to enjoy a relaxed afternoon exploring Chicago’s Little Italy or West Loop. While we step away for photos, we encourage you to check into your hotel, refresh, unwind, and get ready for the evening ahead—nap optional, shining dancing shoes required. If you’re up for exploring, we’ve included a few of our favorite nearby spots to grab a bite, a drink, or take in some of the best of Chicago. We look forward to welcoming you back at Aba at 5:00 PM for cocktails to kick off the celebration.
