You will be missed! We understand there may be other obligations or those who are unable to travel on our day. If you cannot attend please RSVP "will not attend" as soon as possible so that we may plan accordingly.

Question

Where should I stay?

We have hotel blocks available at Hotel Lincoln and Viceroy Chicago and provided other options in the area for your convenience. Visit our Hotels section to book. Both blocks are first come first serve. If no rooms in either block are left, you'll need to book outside of the block or at another hotel.

Are my children invited?

Question

Question

Can I take photos?

Answer

Please be mindful that we are having an unplugged ceremony (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present while we say "I do".
