Q + A

What is the dress code for the wedding ceremony and reception?

The dress code is Garden Formal. Men should wear a suit or jacket and ties. We request women wear cocktail style garden-colored, midi-or maxi-length dress, dressy separates, jumper, or pant suit. If you have further questions or are unsure if your attire is suitable, please feel free to reach out to the bride or groom.

Will the wedding ceremony and reception be outside?

The ceremony, cocktails and reception will all be outside so we are embracing the garden in its full glory!

Are there any colors the guests should avoid wearing?

To avoid matching, the bridesmaids will be in champagne and blush colored dresses. The "Something Blue's" will be in light blue colored dresses. We kindly ask you to avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams.

Are children invited?

While we adore your children, this will be an adults-only celebration and we intend to party!

Can I bring a Guest/Date?

We unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests. Due to limited capacity, we can only allow the people named on the invitation. Your invitation will be made out to "[Your Name] & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you.

What time should I arrive?

Guests may start arriving to the venue at 4:45 pm at the earliest, but please arrive no later than 5:25 pm sharp for a ceremony start of 5:30 pm.

What is the best airport to fly into?

O'Hare or Midway airport.

Will there be an open bar?

Yes!

Will there be transportation?

TBD

Is there parking at the ceremony/reception location?

Yes, there is free parking provided at the Garden. For all wedding guests, ride-sharing is encouraged.
