We chose Family style reception because it fosters a more intimate and communal atmosphere, encouraging conversation and interaction between our guests by having them share food and pass dishes around the table, creating a feeling of togetherness similar to a home- cooked meal.
The Ceremony will be held at The Wayside Chapel (Palos Park) in the Garden. If it rains, we will hold the Ceremony in the Chapel. The Cocktail Hour and Reception will be held at The Garden Chalet in Worth Illinois.
The ceremony starts at 2:30 pm. Please arrive there 15 minutes prior to ceremony to be seated. Family/ Friend photos will be taken after Ceremony in the Garden adjacent to the Chapel. We are asking ALL guests to stay after Ceremony so that they can be included during this photo session. Reception will start at 4:30pm.
