Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
There is an almost unlimited amount of things to see && do (as well as amazing food to eat) in Chicago. You may want to arrange your stay around the neighborhoods you'd like to visit. The wedding will be in the south loop and we have a room block at the Hilton Palmer House, which is 5 min from the venue by car. Our block rate is $279/night. There are a limited number of rooms available in this block. If you'd like to book, please visit the "travel" page.
Question
Where should I park?
Answer
There are self-paid parking lots available around the venue, as well as street-metered parking available, but please pay attention to hourly limits on different signage. We recommend that guests, especially those who plan to drink, Uber or taxi to the wedding. Chicago public transport is also abundant downtown if you'd like to use it.
