FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
The dress code is Black Tie Invited. A "black tie invited" dress code suggests a formal event where guests are encouraged to wear a tuxedo or full-length gown, though a formal suit or dress will also be acceptable. Women are welcome to wear gowns in any color. The wedding ceremony will take place indoors with the option for cocktail hour outdoors if guests desire, weather permitting.
Question
How do I get to the venue?
Answer
The venue is located at 167 N Green St. The building is called 167 Green. You will enter through the revolving doors and be guided to elevators to reach the ceremony and reception site. Please bring a copy of your photo ID as the security team may ask for it on the way up.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Please arrive at the ceremony at least 20 minutes prior to start time at 6 PM. We will begin promptly on time. Plan accordingly as Chicago traffic can be unpredictable on weekends. If you are calling an uber, allow yourself plenty of time to arrive to the venue and settle in as it can sometimes be difficult to be matched with a driver due to congestion in West Loop. If you are driving up from the suburbs, please leave yourself ample time for travel to account for traffic. Saturday traffic has been worse than normal this summer.
Question
Is there parking for the reception?
Answer
Valet parking is located at Oakville Grill & Cellar, which is the building next to the venue. West Loop is incredibly busy on weekend days. We recommend you plan parking in advance whether it be valet or finding a SpotHero.
Question
Can I use my phone to take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that you refrain from photographs during the ceremony and live in the moment with us. Feel free to take as many pictures as you want as soon as the ceremony concludes!
Question
Is there an after party?
Answer
Yes! The after party will begin immediately after the reception ends and will be at Bandit, a bar across the street from the venue. If you are planning on attending, please be sure to bring your ID as you will need it to get into the bar!
