Please RSVP no later than June 22, 2026.

Yes! We ask that guests dress in Formal or Black-Tie Optional attire. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, as are suits and cocktail dresses. Please avoid wearing white or near-white colors like ivory or champagne. The ceremony will be outdoors in August, so sunglasses and hand fans are encouraged.
Due to limited capacity, only guests listed on the invitation are guaranteed. Out-of-state guests may ask about a plus one, and the couple will try to accommodate.
While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event. We hope that the advance notice means you are still able to celebrate with us.
Please arrive at the Lakeview Gazebo by 4:30 PM. Guests should be seated by 4:15 PM for a prompt 5 PM start. If you arrive after the processional has started, please wait to be seated until after the bridal party has walked down the aisle. At a convenient time, our ushers will assist you in finding a seat in the rear to avoid disrupting the ceremony and the filming of our special day. Thank you for understanding.
Yes, free on-site parking is available.
Our ceremony and reception will take place in the hotel where we reserved our room block and where most our guests will be staying, so no additional transportation will be required for our nuptials. Guests flying in can contact Jenny at 224-688-9714 for ride coordination.
Yes - we kindly ask that you just let us know which event you will be attending when you RSVP. Thank you!
We will be hosting a plated, three-course dinner. During the RSVP process, you will be able to select your main entree. Vegetarian options and accommodations for severe food allergies (gluten-free, nut-free, etc.) are available - please note these requirements when you RSVP so we can inform the venue.
We do not have a registry! Your presence is the greatest gift to us. However, if you would like to support us towards our honeymoon fund, we would much appreciate it! For more information, please go to the "Gifts" tab.
