Q + A

When and where is the wedding?

We are excited to celebrate with you on August 23rd, 2025 at the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel in Chicago! Our venue opens at 4:00pm and the celebration will go on until midnight.

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Our venue opens at 4:00pm and ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm. Please allow yourself enough time to park, find the ballroom, and take your seat. Late entry is strictly discouraged as not to interfere with the flow of the religious ceremonies.

What are my options for parking?

There will be a complimentary valet available at The Raddison Blu, as well as a paid self park option. For alternative nearby parking, we recommend SpotHero: https://spothero.com/destination/chicago/radisson-blue-aqua-hotel-parking

What should I wear?

The attire for the ceremony/reception will be Black Tie Optional, or the equivalent attire that you would wear to a Nikah. While both the ceremony and reception will be indoors, there will also be an outdoor cocktail hour (weather permitting).

What are the Nikah and Ketubah?

In Islam and Judaism respectively, the Nikah and Ketubah represent marriage contracts. These are sacred agreements signifying our commitment to one another in front of witnesses, and are often paired with the exchanging of gifts. The signing of both documents will be incorporated into our ceremony.

Can we bring our children?

While we love your little ones, our wedding ceremony and reception will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this allows all of our guests to relax, enjoy the evening, and celebrate with us. We appreciate your understanding.

What is the deadline to RSVP?

Please use the link on our website to RSVP by July 7th, 2025.
