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.
Where to Stay
Below is our hotel block booking link. This hotel is about 25 minutes away from the venue. It includes free hot breakfast on Monday morning, a fitness area, and a pool! Check in is at 3pm Sunday afternoon and checkout is 11am Monday morning. The stay can be extended as needed, enjoy!
While You’re Around
A few of our favorite spots in the Chicago suburban area, closer to our home. 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!).
