**City Hall Update**

City Hall is doing Zoom weddings on Mondays.

They are FINALLY going back to no appointment needed for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Tuesday - Friday and are in person from 9-11:30 and 2-3:15. You can walk in and get married as long as you have a valid marriage license.

Saturday weddings still require an appointment. You cannot just walk in and get married at city hall on Saturday. To make an appointment call 312-603-5660. The only times available are 9am and 9:30am. They tell 30 couples these same times so expect a wait even though you have an appointment. They only take appointments for Saturday about 2 months in advance.

You may now have 10 people with you for your city hall ceremony! So the couple + 10 is the max.

Photography is required in order to book with Elope to Chicago. Becky is the owner and photographer and will help with so much more than just photography.

She brings 16 years of photography experience and has helped plan over 500 elopements and tiny weddings in Chicago.

With each photography booking you will get help with everything from where to get a marriage license, to locations and permits, best time of year and even day and so much more.

With every option the couple will also get access to the hi-res jpeg files via digitial download. The edited images will go in an online gallery that can be shared with friends and family and is linked to an professional print lab. The couple will also have printing rights to the photos so they may take them to the lab of their choice as well.

Couples still have the option to write their own vows, keep things simple with “I Do” statements, or use repeat-after-the-officiant vows. This option is ideal for couples who want a personalized ceremony experience without additional ceremony elements.

Unity ceremonies are not included with this option.
