Our Wedding

We opted not to reserve a hotel block so everyone has the flexibility to choose the accommodations that best suit their stay. We recommend staying in The Loop or River North for a classic Chicago experience, though there are excellent options throughout the city.

Price Matching:Many travel booking sites (Expedia, for example) offer price matching or flexible cancellation. If your reservation is refundable, it’s worth checking rates periodically—you may be able to rebook or request a lower price if the same room drops in cost before your stay. Parking:Hotel parking in Chicago can be expensive.

Over time, we found that one of the most common questions friends have at weddings is who else is going? This will make planning a hotel or activities easier to coordinate. And let's be honest, we all know a time when we showed up to an event and couldn't remember the name of someone we haven't seen in a while (guilty).
