Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

We’re registered with both Zola and Anthropologie. You can find both listed under the “Registry” tab on our wedding website —just click on the one you’d like to navigate to. They’re located right at the top of the page for easy access.

Question

Will there be any additional events around the wedding?

Answer

Yes—Please Refer to the Schedule For event times and details throughout the weekend, please consult the schedule. It includes everything you’ll need to know, from a welcome gathering to the ceremony and reception. We recommend checking it ahead of time so you’re in the right place at the right time—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your little ones, but to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable evening for all, the ceremony and reception will be adults only. The only exception will be Phil’s nieces, Elliot and Sutton. We truly appreciate your understanding and support in helping us create a memorable celebration for everyone in attendance.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress code for the reception is black-tie optional. For Men: Black tie optional is a wedding guest dress code that is slightly less formal than black-tie wedding attire. A tuxedo is not required, though it can still be worn. If a suit is preferred, it is best to wear a dark formal suit, white shirt, and a conservative tie. For Women: Choices are a floor or tea length gown, a fancy cocktail dress, or a dressy pantsuit in any seasonal color except white.

Question

How do we get from our hotel to the ceremony and the celebration?

Answer

Availability can be limited during busy autumn weekends. We recommend scheduling your Uber or Lyft in advance for transportation from the hotel to the ceremony and the reception. The venue will remain open until 12:00 AM, so book your return ride ahead of time, as well, to ensure a smooth and stress-free trip back. We want everyone to enjoy the night safely and comfortably!

Question

Do you have a room block?

Answer

Rooms have been secured at a 15% discount at The Forester, a Hyatt Place Hotel located at 200 N. Field Drive, Lake Forest, IL 60045. The Forester is 4.1 miles from our wedding reception venue. A block of rooms is reserved at The Hilton Garden Inn, located at 26225 North Riverwoods Boulevard, Lake Forest, IL 60045. The Inn is 4.6 miles from our wedding reception venue. Details on booking, including links and group rates, can be found in the travel section. We recommend reserving early, as space is limited!

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer
