THOMAS AND SAM ARE GETTING MARRIED!

What started off with coffee and talking under an oak tree for hours, has now led us here, renting an entire conservatory in the middle of October to throw a big party for our friends and family! Oh, and we’re getting married too 😍
We’d absolutely love for you to join us!
There will also be a super special guest of our newborn baby girl, Hannah! She was born July 3rd and we're all so happy and healthy!

LODGING & ATTIRE

LODGING

We have reserved a hotel block, as well as some Airbnbs for our out of town guests. They are all first come first served. The venue is right next to a CTA green line stop for easy public transit access, and on the beautiful Chicago boulevard system for easy bike access. There is also a large attached parking lot for private automobiles. Important note: the Chicago Marathon is Sunday morning, so finding lodging, as well as navigating the city, will be more difficult. Reserve your lodging early!

Carleton of Oak Park
Stay in Oak Park! Stay close to the venue! 15 rooms are reserved for our guests. Available for the 12th and 13th. You have to call (708) 848-5000 to make reservations. Mention Group Name: Primer Martin Wedding to receive your discounted rate of $161/standard, $181/double.

Oak Park Airbnbs

FESTIVE COCKTAIL ATTIRE

Getting married in a conservatory in October is the perfect excuse for a fun take on traditional cocktail or semi-formal wedding attire! We encourage you to toss on a bit of color, go wild with floral prints, or just try to blend into the ferns.
Not feeling especially festive? Perfectly fine, we just ask that you look nice :) Please keep in mind that the conservatory will be warm and humid!
