We recommend coming in Friday evening through Sunday afternoon but do what suits your schedule best. We will be in and around Chicago the whole time. There is no formal event Friday evening but we will plan a casual meet up at a bar for those arriving into town.
You are welcome to stay wherever best suits you. Langston and Brooke will be staying at the Hilton Chicago. There are wedding blocks available at the Hilton Chicago and Le Meridien Essex. Please see the travel section to follow the links to book within the block at either hotel.
There will be a shuttle bus running from the south entrance of the Hilton Chicago on E 8th Street (the street between the Hilton and the Le Meridien Essex) to the Harold Washington Library starting at 4:45pm on Saturday. The bus will continue to run back and forth throughout the night. Please note the Hilton and Le Meridien are a 3 minute drive / 12 minute walk from the venue. We encourage walking in groups / the buddy system!
Unfortunately, no. This is a kid-free wedding. Please make other child-care arrangements for the ceremony and come ready to celebrate. Children are welcome at the Farewell Brunch on Sunday.
The attire is semi-formal. For men, this could mean a suit and tie. For women, this might be a long, light colored or floral dress. But, please feel free to express yourself as you wish within the semi-formal theme!
