Where To Sleep

Hotels & Stays

Since we're keeping the party on the smaller side, we couldn't lock in a room block — so we hunted down options at a few different price points instead. Quick tip: book through the hotel brand's own site (Marriott, Best Western, etc.) or Expedia rather than calling the front desk — walk-in and phone rates tend to run higher. Prices below are rough estimates per night and will shift depending on your dates and room type.

Chicago · Boystown area

This is where we'll be, so if you want to be close to the after party, stay around here.

Closest to the house — plan on a short drive over to the backyard.

~$127–$160/night

Renaissance Chicago Glenview Suites Hotel

Airbnb is a solid move too, especially if a few of you want to split a place and make a weekend of it.

Good To Know

Questions & Answers

What's the dress code?

Cosmic cocktail — cocktail attire with a little personality. Sunset oranges, deep blues, greens and pinks all look great together. One important note: it's mid-November in Chicago and part of the night is outside, so dress warm and bring a coat or jacket you don't mind wearing over your outfit. Looking cute is mandatory; freezing is optional.

Where is it?

2301 Silverpine Dr, Glenview, IL — Ethan's parents' backyard. Ceremony starts at 3:00 PM on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

What time should I arrive?

Aim for 2:40–2:50 PM so you have time to park, say hi, and get seated before the 3:00 PM ceremony.

Where do we park?

You can park at the house and along the street. If you'd rather not drive, the Metra station is very close by — take the train in and walk over.

Can I bring a plus one?

Your invitation lists everyone we've saved a seat for. If it says "and guest," bring your favorite person.

Are kids invited?

Yes! Kids are welcome. Just let us know on your RSVP if you're bringing one so we can put together a little goodie bag for them.

What's for dinner?

Chicken, steak and pork tacos with all the toppings and salsa, guacamole and chips, a charola of beans, plus agua de limón and horchata. There's also an open bar all night. Note any dietary needs on your RSVP and we'll take care of it.

Is there an after party?

Yes — after 10 PM we're heading into the city for drinks and dancing. Everyone's welcome, but please answer the after party question on the RSVP so we know the headcount.

When do I need to RSVP?

By November 1, 2026 for the wedding. The after party RSVP is on the same form.
