Travel & Stay


Flights

Chicago has two main airports: O’Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW). Both are about a 40-minute drive from the wedding events, and we recommend using rideshare, taxis, or public transit to get into town.

Gold Coast

We generally recommend staying in Chicago’s Gold Coast or River North neighborhoods, from which our events will be walkable. However, there are also many other fun areas within a few miles where you could book a hotel or Airbnb. Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, and West Loop are all about 15 minutes from both events via rideshare, and about 30-40 minutes via public transit.

If you stay in Gold Coast or River North and decide to use public transit to get into town, both the Blue Line at O’Hare and the Orange Line at Midway will take you to Clark & Lake. From there, you can transfer to the Brown Line heading to Kimball and then get off at the Chicago stop.
