Our Wedding Day: Things to Know
St. Michael's Catholic Church has a parking lot available which is easily accessible from Cleveland Avenue.
There will be complimentary valet available at Cafe Brauer. If you prefer not to valet, there is street parking available along Stockton Drive.
The bridal party will be taking photos immediately following the ceremony until cocktail hour begins at 6PM.
During that time, we welcome you to check out some of our favorite nearby spots:
The J. Parker: Arguably the best views in the city, the J. Parker is a rooftop bar located less than a mile from St. Michael's Catholic Church, and a half of a mile away from Cafe Brauer.
Gemini: A great little restaurant in Lincoln Park that offers outdoor seating (with heaters, of course)!
Wells Street: There is no shortage of bars and restaurants to check out on Wells Street in Old Town, located less than a half mile away from St. Michael's Catholic Church. A few of our favorites are the Vig, Old Town Pour House, or Declan's. Note it will be March Madness this weekend, so prepare for crowds!
Gold Coast: While slightly further south, our favorite spot to hop around on any given Saturday Gold Coast. Grab a martini at Gibson's, people watch outside of Tavern on Rush, or relax with a cocktail at Restoration Hardware's Three Arts Club Cafe.
We do not have a hotel block at any specific hotel as we want to allow our guests to stay wherever they want when visiting the city! We have included some recommendations, including Hotel Lincoln and The Thompson, in the accommodation section.
