Getting there
Travel
Where should I fly into?+
Chicago has two airports: O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW). You can fly into either one! To get to the city from either airport, you can take the CTA "L" train. It will get you there in about 35 to 40 minutes. An Uber is usually easy to grab as well, but may take a little longer with traffic.
Where should I stay?+
We have two hotel blocks, at the JW Marriott and The Midland Hotel. You can book a room at our fixed group rate below! Both hotels are just across the street from the venue for an easy commute to the ceremony 😊
While you're in town+
- Architecture river tour↗︎The river boat tour is a great way to spend an hour or two and really get to see the city! We've both been on it 5+ times and would go again in a heartbeat.
- Lincoln Park Zoo↗︎Best zoo out there in our opinion, and it's free! Located on the north side, spend the day exploring our old stomping grounds in Lincoln Park. You might even get to see Jack's bestie, the polar bear.
- Skydeck at the Sears Tower↗︎If you don't have a fear of heights, step out on the glass boxes and enjoy the view from Chicago's tallest skyscraper. If you really want to blend in with the locals, be sure to call this the "Sears Tower," its former name that Chicagoans refuse to let go of.
- Shopping on Michigan Avenue↗︎Spend some time shopping along Michigan Ave! An easy walk from either hotel and another great way to see the city.
- Restaurants near the hotels↗︎You honestly can't go wrong in Chicago, but a few of our go-to spots: Pizzeria Portofino, Sushi-San, and (obviously) Portillo's.
