Questions and Answers
What's the dress code?
We're requesting formal attire for our celebration. Suits, tuxedos, evening gowns, and formal dresses are all welcome. Think elegant and dressed up — this is a night to celebrate!
Can I bring a plus one?
We've done our best to accommodate everyone. Please check your invitation for the names of those invited. If your invitation says 'and guest,' you're welcome to bring a plus one!
Are kids welcome?
While we love your little ones, we've decided to make our wedding an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives you a chance to enjoy a night out!
What time should I arrive?
The celebration begins at 6:00 PM. We recommend arriving about 15 minutes early to get settled and grab a drink.
Is there parking at the venue?
Street parking in Fulton Market is limited. We recommend taking a rideshare (Uber/Lyft) or CTA to get to the venue. Complimentary shuttles will run from the venue back to the hotel block throughout the evening and after the last dance.
Where should I stay?
Check out our Travel page for hotel block details at the Westin River North and Courtyard Marriott River North. Booking links and group rates coming soon!
Will there be food options for dietary restrictions?
Yes! We'll be offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. If you have specific allergies or dietary needs, please let us know when you RSVP and we'll make sure you're taken care of.
Can I take photos during the celebration?
We'd love for you to capture the fun! Just be mindful during any toasts or special moments. Our photographer will be there to get the big shots, so relax and enjoy the night.
What's the weather like in September?
September in Chicago is typically pleasant with temperatures between 55°F and 75°F. However, Chicago weather can be unpredictable! We recommend bringing a light layer for the evening.
