Q + A

Parking at the room block hotels?

For those driving to Chicago and staying at either the Marriott or Gwen, on-site valet parking is available for a nightly rate with in/out privileges. Self-parking is also available, which either hotel will provide more information on during check-in.

Is Transportation Available?

Transportation will be provided for both Friday and Saturday. Shuttles will transport guests to and from the Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile on Friday for the Welcome Party. For the wedding day, shuttles will be available from Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile to the wedding ceremony at St. Paul's UCC. Parking is also an option at the Church. Once the ceremony has ended, shuttles will be at the Church to drive guests to Theater on the Lake, the cocktail hour and wedding reception venue. Valet parking is available to guests who choose to drive to Theater on the Lake.

Can I bring children or a plus one?

While we'd love to celebrate with all of our guests' plus ones and children, the venue will only be able to accommodate the people named on your invitation. All wedding events are adults only unless otherwise specified to you personally.

Are the events indoors or outdoors?

The wedding ceremony and reception will be held indoors. For the cocktail hour, the space will be both indoor and outdoor. The welcome party venue is a rooftop terrace with partial cover should weather be a factor.

Are the ceremony and reception at the same location?

No, the ceremony will be held at St. Paul's UCC while the reception (and cocktail hour) is located at Theater on the Lake. These venues are located less than a mile from each other and should take 5 minutes on the shuttle.
