Getting Here

The closest airport is O’Hare International Airport (ORD)—just about 45 minutes from the venue. Midway (MDW) is also an option, roughly 1–1.5 hours away by car or taxi.

From downtown Chicago, the venue is about a 1-hour drive northwest. We recommend renting a car if you’re flying in, or coordinating rides with friends, as ride shares can be limited in the area. As we’ll be hosting an open bar, we kindly encourage guests to arrange safe transportation in advance or designate a driver for the evening.

While You’re Around

A few of our favorite spots in the Chicago suburban area—whether you're in the mood for tacos, a peaceful beach walk, or a cozy sushi date. These are places that mean a lot to us, and we hope you enjoy them too.

Sakae Sushi, Mount Prospect

Where we had our very first date. A cozy, no-frills spot with great sushi and warm vibes. Perfect for a low-key dinner or casual lunch if you’re in the neighborhood. It’s right by Laurel’s family home, which makes it extra special.

Pasta D'Arte, Norwood Park

Our go-to for an upscale date night. Handmade pasta, warm lighting, and an intimate atmosphere make it one of our all-time favorite spots.

Gilson Beach, Wilmette

One of our favorite places for a quiet walk by the water. Peaceful, scenic, and a great spot to catch your breath between celebrations. Bring a coffee and soak in the view.

Burrito House, Niles

Fast, delicious tacos we’ve loved for years. Quick, comforting, and casual. You’ll find us here when we want something simple and satisfying. Conveniently located near Caleb’s family home (and soon, ours!).
