Yes! Both the ceremony and reception will take place at the same location, so once you arrive, you can settle in and enjoy the entire celebration with us without having to travel between venues.
Please be sure to let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions when you RSVP. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the meal comfortably, and we’ll do our best to plan accordingly.
The venue offers both indoor and outdoor spaces, along with a large elevator for easy access between levels.
Discounted room blocks are available until July 12th at the Best Western Plus Elgin Chicago.
Do not book directly, or discount will not apply.
Please RSVP or contact us for the link/code.
Free parking is conveniently available nearby, with a complimentary parking lot just down the street and a large, three-story parking garage directly across the street, also free of charge.
More details can be found on the Venue page.
If enough guests stay at our preferred hotel, we may get a complimentary shuttle to the ceremony, and one back to the hotel after the reception.
We are also working on complimentary Uber QR codes for guests who do not take the shuttle or feel like driving.
Absolutely! We’d love for you to capture a few special moments during the ceremony. We simply ask that you keep phones and cameras discreet and be mindful of those around you, so everyone can enjoy the moment without a sea of screens—or an unexpected selfie session. Our photographer will be there to capture all the important moments, so please feel free to be present with us, too.
Absolutely—have at it! 📸❤️ We’d love to see the day through your eyes, so feel free to take, share, tag, and post your favorite photos and videos from the celebration.
We are not registered anywhere, as we truly feel that your presence is the greatest present we could receive. Having the people we love together to celebrate this special day means more to us than anything that could be wrapped in a box. Your love, support, and being there with us are all we could ever ask for. ❤️
