Sadly, in light of Covid-19 we chose to significantly limit the number guests that will attend in person for the safety of everyone. Please refer to the invitation that was mailed to you to see whether you should attend virtually or in person.
Please join virtually at this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86137765109 The ceremony will begin at 3:00pm EST. First dances and cake cutting will begin at 5:00pm EST.
Because the Ray Kestner Waterfront is a public beach and we anticipte parking being limited, we recommend parking in the public lot on the corner of Huron St. and E. Lakeshore Dr. From there you can take the walking trail 0.9 mile to the waterfront park. Following the afterparty at Bonfire Grill your car will only be 2 blocks away. If you are staying at The Vault, Quality Inn Suites, or the Hampton Inn (previously Franklin Square Inn) you can easily walk to all of the venues. You can see a visual here: bit.ly/TomKaelaMap
Due to space restrictions, please keep your party to only the names listed on the invitation.
With the wedding being at a public park, we unfortunately must shut down at 10:00 PM. We'll then be moving the party to Bonfire at The Continental, which is approximately a 15 minute walk/ 3 minute drive from the reception.
Kaela and Tom are both keeping their original last names!
All of the food being served throughout the reception will be Gluten Free and Vegan friendly. If you have a specific allergen, please let Kaela and Tom know ahead of time.
We have rented tents, so we plan to be at the Ray Kestner Waterfront rain or shine! However, if there is severe wind or lightening we would need to go to plan B, in that case the ceremony and reception would take place at the Dee Stadium. We will communicate with you if we need to use the rain location.
