The wedding: The schedule

We're so excited to see all of you, and we wanted to plan a few events to give everyone a chance to spend time together.

Friday July 31, 8:30pm
Meet up for drinks at Bar Louie, at 47 W. Polk (5 blocks from Grant Park, Printer's row, Dearborn and Polk, 312-347-0000). Over 21 to get in (Sorry kids, the bartender said no one under 21 after 8pm).

Saturday August 1, 11:00am
We'll be hanging out on the 12th street beach--stop by, have a soda and have a swim! The 12th street beach is located east of the Shedd, on the museum campus peninsula that sticks out into the lake. Check it out on the bottom right-hand corner of the map! We'll be sitting near a red, blue, yellow and green beach umbrella, hopefully with some balloons to mark our location.

Saturday August 1, 6:30 pm
Wedding ceremony at the Shedd, followed by reception. Please arrive at the "group registration entrance" on the south side of the building around 6:10PM. Aquarium staff will direct you to the wedding location (on the Lake View Terrace, weather permitting).

Wedding parking at the Shedd

There will be free parking for the wedding at the Shedd starting at 5:30 pm. The wedding spots and parking attendant are in the East Museum Lot on this map
