Our wedding weekend will take place across a few of our favorite Chicago neighborhoods:
- Thursday Welcome Event: Held at Midwest Coast Brewing in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, approximately a 7-minute drive, 10-minute CTA train ride, or 30-minute walk from the wedding venue.
- Friday Wedding Ceremony & Reception: Hosted at Morgan’s on Fulton in the heart of the Fulton Market District, located within Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood.
- Saturday Brunch: Join us at Madison and Bryce’s home in the Southport Corridor of Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. Additional details, including timing and address, will be shared on the website closer to the wedding date.
Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, and we’re excited to celebrate with you in a few of the places that mean the most to us!
Our ceremony will be held indoors, followed by dinner and dancing on the rooftop terrace. Depending on the weather, the venue’s retractable glass roof may be opened to enjoy the fresh air and skyline views or closed to provide a comfortable, weather-protected environment.
The dress code is formal cocktail attire. We encourage guests to dress in an elevated, celebratory way while still keeping things comfortable for an evening of dinner and dancing. Suits, cocktail dresses, and refined dressy separates are all perfect choices.
We recommend arriving by 5:00 PM when doors open. Please plan to be seated by 5:20 PM to allow the ceremony to begin promptly at 5:30 PM.
We kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We want everyone to be fully present in the moment with us.
There is no dedicated parking at the venue. However, there are several public parking garages within walking distance in the West Loop and Fulton Market area. We recommend reserving parking in advance through services like Spot Hero, as availability can be limited and pricing may vary depending on demand.
We’re looking forward to celebrating with our closest friends and family. Attendance is by invitation only, and plus-ones are named on the invitation.
We kindly request an adults-only celebration. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you.
