We simply can’t accommodate all of our lovely guests bringing a guest of their own. Plus ones are therefore by invitation only and we ask other guests to please not bring a plus one. Thank you so much for understanding!
Can I bring my bring my children?
Although we love your kiddos, our wedding will be an adult-only celebration. We encourage you to let loose and enjoy a date night in Chicago!
How should I RSVP?
We will be doing virtual RSVPs. The link to RSVP will be included on your invitation that is sent in February. We ask that you kindly respond by April 1. If you have any issues with the RSVP, please contact Logan for assistance.
Is there parking near the venue?
Yes, there will be validated parking near the venue's boarding area which is $19 that is valid from 11AM to 1AM. The garage is located at 219/225 E. North Water Street and we will provide detailed directions at a later date. We encourage guests who want to avoid parking to utilize rideshare services or take public transit.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will be held outdoors and the reception will be indoors.
What time should I arrive?
Guests will be able to start boarding the ship at 5pm. Please plan accordingly to arrive on time and avoid disrupting the ceremony at 5:30pm. The cruise will depart at 6pm and we will be unable to accommodate guests arriving late after this time.
What if I can't stay for the entire reception?
Due to the nature of the venue, guests will not be able to leave early. The vessel will depart at 6pm and will not dock again until 9pm.
What if something comes up and I am no longer able to attend?
We will provide a final guest count to the venue 3 weeks prior to our wedding day. Please let us know by April 18, 2025 if something comes up and you are no longer able to attend to avoid plate charges.
Am I allowed to take photos at the wedding?
We are having an unplugged ceremony and request that all guests refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. However, guests are welcome to take photos during the reception. We have a wonderful photographer, Alyeska, who will capture our ceremony and we are happy to share the photos with guests!
