FAQs

Question

What are the addresses of the wedding ceremony and reception venues?

Answer

The ceremony will take place at St. Joseph Catholic Church (ICSJ Parish) located at 1107 N Orleans St. The cocktail hour and reception will be held at Voco Chicago Downtown Hotel located at 350 W Wolf Point Plaza. The cocktail hour will take place on the 15th floor of the Voco Hotel in the LaSalle Ballroom, and the reception will follow immediately afterward.

Question

Is there a hotel block of rooms available?

Answer

Yes, for your convenience, we have reserved a block of rooms at the Voco Chicago Downtown Hotel. Please view our Accommodations & Travel page for hotel information and a link to reserve your room in our block, no code required.

Question

Where should I park if I'm staying at the Voco Hotel?

Answer

Daily self-parking is available at Voco for $56 per night and includes in-and-out privileges until 3pm the day of check-out. The Wolf Point Parking garage entrance is located off the hotel drive at 325 West Wolf Point Plaza. A more cost-effective option is off-site parking, available at nearby parking garages. We recommend using the SpotHero app where you can select a location near Voco and get better discounted pricing. If you decide to park off-site, be sure to read the location details prior to booking to learn about in-and-out privileges. If this is not available at your preferred location, we recommend opting to leave your car parked for the weekend and use Uber/Lyft etc. for getting around as needed.

Question

What is the attire?

Answer

Formal Attire. We suggest that men wear a suit in any color and women wear a midi or cocktail dress or a nice pantsuit.

Question

What is the wedding day itinerary?

Answer

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 pm. We recommend leaving early on one of the provided shuttles because Chicago traffic is brutal, and to allow yourselves time to get settled. The cocktail hour will begin around 5:30 pm in the LaSalle Ballroom on the 15th floor of the Voco Hotel. Don't worry - the hotel lobby bar is located just outside of the ballroom as there will be a tiny gap between the ceremony and the cocktail hour. The reception will follow immediately after. We will revisit the lobby bar following the end of the reception to keep the party going. Be sure to check out our page which outlines our weekend itinerary for more information.

Question

How do I get to the ceremony?

Answer

Transportation will be provided. There will be a shuttle making loops between the hotel and the church, and will bring you back to the hotel after the church. The first shuttle will load at about 2 pm in order to have time to make loops. Please be early! If you do not take the shuttle, we recommend taking an Uber because parking is very, very limited at the church.

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

Answer

While we would love to celebrate with as many people as possible, we will only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation and RSVP.

Question

Am I allowed to bring my children?

Answer

We love the littles in our lives! However, to allow all of our guests, including parents, the chance to have an evening of relaxation, we request that the ceremony and reception be for adults only, unless otherwise specified on your invitation.

Question

Is There A Gift Registry?

Answer

We are thrilled that you are coming to celebrate with us— that's the best gift of all! But, if you feel like you would like to help us spruce up our place, we've created a registry here on our website.

Question

Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, you can either have it delivered to our home, or there will be a gift table and wedding card box at our reception.

Question

What type of food will be served at your wedding?

Answer

We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner with a choice of entree. If you have any food allergies we need to be aware of, you may indicate that on your online RSVP, or please reach out to MC or Glenn directly.
