Matthew and John's big day

Welcome!

Hello friends and family! Thanks for scanning the QR code!

The link for the group hotel block is below. Please start thinking about your accommodations soon. You'll also see tentative details regarding Friday night's welcome party and Saturday's event below.

Please note: this is an adults only event.

We would like you to know we do not expect gifts. Making the trip and spending the weekend with us is gift enough. If you still feel compelled, contributions to the honeymoon fund are appreciated.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!

Edgewater, Chicago

Getting There and Away

Edgewater is located about 20 minutes north of Downtown, near the edge of the lake. It is cooler near the lake.

Where to Stay

Below is a brief list of recommendations on places to stay on the north side. It is marathon weekend - a big deal! - so we do recommend reserving your accommodation early. The families will be staying in the neighborhood, which is a great option if you can find a rental or B&B, though unfortunately it doesn't have a lot of big hotels.

We will provide one shuttle to/from Hilton Garden Inn, plus Lyfts to get you back to wherever you're staying after the event.

Hilton Garden Inn	The Hilton Garden Inn is conveniently located in the near northwest suburbs. It is about a 30 minute drive to the venue. We have a block of discounted rooms reserved there - use the link above to get the group discount.
Hotels/Bed and Breakfasts	There are a large number of hotels in and around the city/neighborhood. Because of the marathon, the aren't large blocks of rooms available, and prices can vary wildly. We hope you can find something convenient. If you need assistance please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Oh, Dang!
