Black Tie optional - The Blackstone is "Old Chicago" vibes and we want you to feel and look your best! It could be snowing, it could be raining, it could be 40 degrees, it could be 65 degrees... please plan accordingly and check the weather before you leave for your trip. Although you will be outside for a very short time, we don't want anyone's outfit to be ruined!

We will only be able to accommodate those that are specified on your invitation. We have very limited space at our venue and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Please plan to arrive at Old St. Pat's at least 15 minutes early. Mass starts promptly at 5pm.

Old St. Patrick's Church = complimentary parking in the indoor lot at 625 West Adams St *Please pull a ticket from the Old St. Pat's branded box when pulling into the lot* The Blackstone parking = $26 for valet OR self parking via Spot Hero.

Yes, there will be a shuttle available outside The Blackstone Hotel for service to and from Old St. Pats. Please be in the lobby at 4pm and 4:15pm to board the shuttle! You do not have to be a hotel guest to take this shuttle.

We are requesting all phones to be silenced and stored away. We have hired professional photographers to capture the moment and would hate to have their view blocked by a cellphone. We will be sure to share all photos!

There will be two shuttle services to and from the church: guests will head to The Blackstone Hotel (via guest shuttle or own transportation) for cocktail hour while all family will stay behind at the Old St. Patrick's Church for family portraits. Sheila & Mike will join you as soon as they can :)

Yes, please mark your restrictions on your RSVP and we will pass along to the caterer.
