FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin promptly at 11:30am. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to get seated but please do not arrive before 11.
Question
Is there parking at the ceremony and the dock?
Answer
Please keep in mind that Chicago has heavy traffic and extra time will need to be allotted for driving and parking. Additionally, if you plan on taking advantage of the open bar, please leave the car at home and take an Uber or Lyft! That being said... Salvatore's offers a paid valet service for those driving. Otherwise, there is some metered street parking available nearby. For the boat, the most convenient parking is in the East garage at Navy Pier. We highly recommend using Spot Hero to browse and secure discounted spots, otherwise you will end up paying a very hefty price to park in any garage downtown.
Question
How do I get to the boat after the ceremony?
Answer
A bus will be transporting guests to Navy Pier from the wedding venue.
Question
What time should I arrive at the boat dock?
Answer
The boat departs promply at 5:30pm and begins boarding at 5pm. We recommend boarding right at 5!
Question
Can I bring a gift to the wedding?
Answer
First of all, thank you in advance for any gifts you may be giving! Unfortunately, there will only be space for cards at the venue. Larger gifts may be shipped directly to our home in Chicago.
Question
Are kids welcome?
