The ceremony starts promptly at 4pm. Please arrive a few minutes early to get seated.
It's Chicago in March, so probably not. However, the wedding will be indoors and there will be a coat-check provided.
Please do! We request that you refrain from flash-photography during the ceremony, but videos, photos, selfies, etc. are highly encouraged throughout the event. If you post to social media, please tag us and use our wedding hashtag. We will have two professional photographers at the event and encourage you to get your photo taken by them as well.
