The ceremony and the reception will take place at "Room 1520" in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. The address is 1520 W Fulton. The wedding ceremony begins at 4:30, and the reception goes until 10:30 p.m.

We will have an optional Meet and Greet cocktail event from 8-10 pm for any guests who want to attend. Location TBD.

No official brunch is planned for Sunday.

Your presence at our wedding means a lot to us and is the best gift of all. We honestly don't need or want any gifts at this time in our life.

If you can't help yourself and feel compelled to give something, you could make a donation to Impact Grants Chicago (Maggie's nonprofit) OR your favorite nonprofit! Let our love play it forward to others in need.

It will be a semi-formal event: suits for men and cocktail dresses for women.

Please book flights and hotels ASAP. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be. Fall is the busiest time of year for Chicago tourism and weddings. You can fly into either O'Hare or Midway airports. Midway is about 10 minutes closer to downtown than O'Hare.

Only for the Hyatt House in the West Loop. Most of the wedding discounts were not as good as the current prices on Expedia. Also, our guests have varied hotel tastes and may choose different locations so it was hard to find one central location that would work for all. Just book early to get the best pricing.

While many restaurants do not let you book until 1 month out, some will 2-3 months prior. Check Resy and Open Table for more information. Activities can usually be booked a couple weeks prior.

The formal invitation & RSVP will not be sent until spring because we will have you choose an entree with your RSVP (we haven't done the menu yet). However, if you know for certain that you will not be able to attend, please email at maggieschell1@gmail.com. This help help us plan the event. Thanks
