We appreciate everyone coming together to celebrate with us! To maximize time spent with all of you, we will be hosting a welcome drinks party with beer, wine, and light desserts at the indoor rooftop of the Royal Sonesta Hotel! While we would love to see you all before the big day, we completely understand if you'd prefer to rest or weren't planning to head downtown until wedding day! What to wear? We suggest dressy casual attire. Examples include a dress or pants and a blouse for women and slacks and a collared shirt, button-up shirt, or sport coat for men.
5:00 pm - 11:30 pm
The ceremony and reception will be held indoors at the Chicago Cultural Center. Please keep in mind the ceremony will begin at 5:00 pm sharp! We kindly ask that you arrive at least twenty minutes early. Because the city can be busy, please alott extra time for parking if arriving via car. See the FAQ section for more parking details. A cocktail hour and reception will immediately follow the ceremony. The dress code is formal attire. We suggest a suit and tie for men and a long or midi-length dress or pant-suit for women.
