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.

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.

Can I stay in Chicago and still get to the wedding?

Absolutely! If you're staying in Chicago, you can take the Metra up to Glenview on Saturday. The best way to get to the Metra station will depend on where you're staying, so we recommend using Google Maps to plan your route. A few things that will make it easier: • Download the Ventra app ahead of time — you can use it to plan your trip and purchase Metra tickets right from your phone. • From Chicago, take the UP-N Metra line to Glenview. • Once you arrive, the venue is about a 20-minute walk from the station, or you can grab an Uber/Lyft. • If you're using CTA + Metra that day, check the day pass option in Ventra — it may be the easiest option for getting around.

When do I need to RSVP?

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