The ceremony and the reception will take place at "Room 1520" in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. The address is 1520 W Fulton. Plan to arrive about 4:15 because the ceremony begins at promptly at 4:30. The West loop is a busy part of town so please allow extra time for bad traffic. The reception will end at 10:30 p.m.

Yes. We will provide a bus to and from the reception. The bus will make one stop at a River North hotel and one at a West Loop hotel. Details of the timing and location for the bus will be added to this website soon. Depending on traffic, it will take about 35 minutes from River North and 7 minutes from the West Loop location. Cabs & Ubers are also available.

The Welcome Party is an optional event for our guests to meet and mingle for cocktails and desserts from 8:00-10:00 p.m. It will be located at The Hoxton Hotel, in "The Apartment," 200 N Green St. in the West Loop neighborhood. We recommend guests make dinner reservations at a nearby West Loop restaurant.

No official brunch is planned for Sunday. Enjoy the sights of our wonderful city on your own!

Your presence at our wedding means a lot to us and is the best gift of all. We honestly don't need or want any gifts at this time in our life.

If you feel compelled to give something, you could give a donation to Impact Grants Chicago (Maggie's favorite nonprofit) OR your favorite nonprofit and let us know. Let our love pay it forward to others in need.

The wedding will be a semi-formal event: suits for men and cocktail dresses for women. The Friday night Welcome Reception's attire is smart casual.

Please book flights and hotels ASAP. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be. Fall is the busiest time of year for Chicago tourism and weddings. You can fly into either O'Hare or Midway airports. Midway is about 10 minutes closer to downtown than O'Hare.

Yes, for some of the hotels. Just book early to get the best pricing and before the room blocks expire. See the list of hotels on this website, but also check travel websites for the best rates. The most convenient hotels will be in the West Loop, but we have also included some recommendations in the Michigan Ave/River North neighborhood.

While many restaurants do not let you book until 1 month out, some will 2-3 months prior. Check Resy and Open Table for more information. Activities can usually be booked a couple weeks prior.

We love your little ones, but we have limited space and kindly ask that only invited children (Ed’s older nieces and nephews) attend the wedding. We’re keeping things simple (and quiet!) for the ceremony and celebration.
