Travel

Be advised: There is a large conference downtown the same weekend as our wedding, limiting rate flexibility and room availability at most local hotels. If you are planning to stay downtown at a hotel outside of our room blocks, we highly suggest booking far in advance. Our hotel room blocks are listed below. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis with open booking until October 1st, 2024.

Flight

Airport and Travel Information

Chicago has two main airports: O'Hare International (ORD), located northwest of the city, and Midway International (MDW), located southwest of the city. Once you have landed, you can take an Uber/cab into the city or take the Blue Line L-train from O'Hare and the Orange Line L-train from Midway. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Alek and Emily for any additional travel questions!
