Q + A

When do I need to RSVP by?

Please RSVP by no later than April 11th here: https://www.aisleplanner.com/app/v2/our-wedding/ellieandjack/rsvp If you do not RSVP by the given date, we will assume that you are unable to attend. Events will have personalized seating arrangements and will include RSVP'd guests only.

What is the dress code?

Black-tie optional. We ask that men wear a tuxedo or a dark suit and tie and women wear an evening gown or midi cocktail dress. Please no jeans or denim and avoid shades of white.

Where should I stay?

We have reserved blocks of rooms at The Graduate in Evanston, as well as the Hilton Orrington in Evanston. There will be shuttles to and from the hotels to the venue. See "Travel" tab for additional details.

What is the address of the wedding ceremony & reception venue?

Both the wedding ceremony and reception will be held at Westmoreland Country Club, which is located at 2601 Old Glenview Rd, Wilmette, IL 60091. Once you arrive, there will be directional signage at the venue telling you where to go.

What is the easiest way to get to and from your wedding venue?

If you are staying at one of the two hotels recommended, there will be shuttle transportation to and from the venue. If you are local and choose to drive, there will be valet at the venue. Another great option is Uber or Lyft, which are both available in the area.

The ceremony will begin at 5:30pm. We recommend arriving 15-30 minutes prior to the ceremony to allow time for parking and finding your seat.

There will be shuttles from the Evanston hotels- The Graduate and the Hilton Orrington- to the Reception with a 4:30pm departure. There will be late night Shuttles from the Reception back to Evanston Hotels: first buses departing at 10:30pm and last buses departing 1:00am.

WHAT IS PARKING LIKE?

There will be valet at the reception venue, however, we want you all to be safe and enjoy yourselves so we suggest those who are staying at the hotels utilize the shuttle service and/or Uber and Lyft.

Are kids welcome?

Unfortunately not. While we love you and your kids, we have limited space.

Can I bring a guest/date?

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Thank you for your understanding!

WHAT COLOR IS THE WEDDING PARTY WEARING?

The bridesmaids will be in pink dresses and the groomsmen will be in traditional black suits and black ties.

IS IT INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors, weather pending. The dinner will be under a covered terrace. The dance portion will be indoors.

What do i do if I can't make it?

You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please RSVP "not attending". If you can not make it after you have RSVP'd, please let us know as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.
