FAQs

Question

Can I stay closer to the venue?

Answer

There is no hotel within walking distance of the venue, so we picked a hotel downtown - Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel. It's right on the river and close to many great attractions in Chicago. We will be providing a shuttle for guests between the hotel and wedding venue.

Question

What's the deadline to RSVP?

Answer

Please RSVP by Sunday, September 8th. If you are booking in the hotel block, please book your hotel room by Thursday, September 5 (it could fill up before this date so book asap if you plan to stay in the hotel block)

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

There is limited reserved parking at Walden (Located on Leavitt street on the West side of the building) in a secured, gated lot. Otherwise, there is free street parking available all around the venue. Parking overnight in the lot is not allowed as the gate closes after guests have departed

Question

Is there a break in between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

No. Everything is all at the same venue and we will move straight from the ceremony to cocktail hour, to the reception.

Question

If I'm not staying at the hotel, how should I get to the venue?

Answer

If you are staying downtown close to the Renaissance, just walk over to the hotel to catch the shuttle. Or, take the green line toward Harlem/Lake to the Damen stop - it’s a 6 minute walk from the venue. Uber and Lyft is always an option too.
