Questions

Anything you're wondering

Will food be served?
Yes — a beautiful brunch will be served onboard shortly after we set sail. Please come hungry and ready to celebrate!
Where do I park?
Parking is available at the venue ($16–$24). If the lot is full, several nearby garages are listed in the downloadable directions PDF on the Location section.
What if I'm running late?
The celebration begins promptly at 11:00 AM and we cannot wait — please plan to arrive by 10:30 AM.
Can I bring a plus one?
Each invitation has been thoughtfully reserved with a specific party size. We're not able to accommodate additional guests beyond what's listed on your invitation.
What should I wear?
Semi-formal in neutrals — flowing dresses, tailored linen, warm cream-to-taupe tones. See the Attire section above for inspiration!
Will I get seasick?
The Chicago River and harbor are calm waters — most guests don't feel any motion at all. If you're sensitive, ginger candies or motion sickness wristbands work well.
