Masks will be optional at the church.
There will be a complementary coat check at the reception. Keep in mind it can be very cold (and snowy) in Chicago in March..
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices be put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. Why? Well, we've hired a professional to capture some of the most important moments of our lives and we'd hate to have a well-meaning person's phone/device blocking that moment for her to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want! And we promise to share the ceremony photos as soon as we get them.
At the church there is plenty of parking in an open lot. At the reception there is a hotel parking garage and multiple nearby garages and street parking. There will also be a valet that is $8.
