Will the ceremony & reception be at the same venue?
No, the ceremony will be held at Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park at 2:30pm. The reception will follow at Burning Bush Brewery’s River Room (located behind the brewery) in Chicago at 5pm.
Can I bring a guest/date?
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP.
What is the theme and colors of the wedding?
Our wedding style will be a blend of modern and industrial elements, embracing sleek lines, minimalist decor, and raw, exposed materials for a chic and contemporary ambiance with a view of the Chicago River. Colors will be gold, champagne, and tan.
Is there a dress code?
We ask our guest to come dressed to impress but comfortable enough to bust a move on the dance floor! Formal cocktail attire or black tie event is preferred. Warm colors and neutrals are encouraged! Please no jeans/denim & avoid shades of white.
What time does the wedding end?
The wedding reception will end promptly at 10pm with after party to follow.
Is there parking?
Yes, there is free parking in the front of Burning Bush Brewery and street parking nearby. It is preferred to uber/lyft or taxi from the hotels downtown.
Where is the reception venue located?
The reception venue is in the back of the Burning Bush Brewery in the River Room. If you arrive early, feel free to enjoy a drink at the brewery while you wait.
Are children allowed?
Invitations will be specific and will include names of the children who are invited. However, we encourage you to use this evening as a "night out" for yourself!
When do we need to RSVP by?
Please RSVP by July 31st, 2025, using the RSVP tab on our wedding website. If you do not RSVP in time we will assume that you are unable to attend.
What to do if I can't make it?
You will be dearly missed if you cannot make the wedding! Please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "not attending" so we may plan accordingly.
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony will begin at 2:30pm. Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes prior to the ceremony to allow time for parking and finding your seat.
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We would like everyone to be fully present with us and for our photographer/videographer to be able to capture the best pictures which we will share with you. Once the ceremony has completed, feel free to take pictures and make sure to share them with us!
Is there an open bar?
Yes! The drinks are on us, and the hangover is on you - so get ready to party! For this reason we encourage you to uber/lyft/taxi to and from the venue.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will be indoors in the chapel at Parkview Church. Cocktail hour will be held on the balcony facing the river and inside the building at the River Room, weather permitting. Reception will be indoor.
There will be guests who have a sensitivity to strong perfumes and colognes.
If possible, we would like to ask our quests to wear no or light fragrances to make sure our guests have an enjoyable experience!
