Can I bring my kids?

In short, no. The Empty Bottle is a 21+ venue, so this is strictly an adults-only celebration, and we would like to keep it that way. We appreciate your understanding!

Can I bring my friend//new Boo//sibling//etc.?

In general, no. Due to space limitations, we would like to limit our guest list to the people named on your invitation. However, if you’re not sure if your invitation includes a plus 1, or if you feel strongly about bringing someone else, please contact us before March 31, 2025, and we’ll see what we can do!

What should I wear?

Our attire theme to Dress to Impress Us. Note: Not just to impress anyone — this is our party, and we want you to impress us.

Don’t fret too much about it. Wear what you feel best in! If you think you look good, chances are, we’ll think you look good. Just make sure you’re comfortable enough to dance. Bring on the ‘fits!

I have questions about Getting to chicago and Where should I stay?

We’ve got a whole page dedicated to Travel, baby! Check out that page for directions on getting here and to our venue, recommendations on where to stay, and suggestions for some of our favorite things to do in the city!

Can I get you a gift?

Your presence is enough of a present for us! However, if you insist, we will be adding a small registry here, so check back on this site at a later time. We also accept cash or payment via CashApp, Venmo, Zelle, or Paypal. ;)

WAit. Y’all are married?!?

We went down to the Cook County Courthouse and eloped in January 2020 (before it was cool). We always planned to have a reception eventually, but the pandemic—and life!— delayed us a bit longer than we anticipated. We’re excited to finally celebrate our love with our friends and family.
