FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHERE DOES THE CEREMONY TAKE PLACE WHEN IT RAINS? Your wedding ceremony will take place in your reception deck. We will move the wedding inside no later than thirty minutes prior to your guests boarding, if necessary. WHEN CAN I DROP OFF THE SET UP ITEMS? You can drop off all the items for your wedding (i.e. guest book, card box, favors) the Friday before your wedding to the boat. We can only accept one box of set up items. It is best to bring everything in a large Tupperware bin so that we can re-pack that box for you at the end of your cruise. You will schedule this delivery time with your coordinator. IS THERE A REHEARSAL? We do not have rehearsals due to our cruise schedule. In the preliminary meeting we will go over your specific walking order. There will be an onboard coordinator assigned to your event that will direct the walking order and timing of events. ARE THERE LIMITATIONS TO SET UP? If you are in a shared space (non-private deck) there are limitations on what you can set up. For a shared deck reception, we can only allow favors and centerpieces. For private deck receptions there will be limited set up time, so please keep this in mind while you are planning your decor. Also, anything brought onto the boat must be removed when you leave. Anything left behind will be discarded. We do not have storage and cannot be responsible for items left on the ship. HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO DECORATE? This will be based on the cruises before and after yours. Please talk with your Wedding Coordinator so that you- CAN I ADJUST MY MENU? The menu that was provided to you is set. If there are minor modifications that need to be made, please let us know and we can talk about options and additional costs, if applicable. Please discuss with your Wedding Coordinator if this is a concern. WHAT ADDRESS DO I USE FOR INVITATIONS? Lake Michigan: 600 East Grand, Chicago, Illinois 60611. Chicago River: 310 E. North Water Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611. WHERE DO MY GUESTS PARK AND DO YOU VALIDATE PARKING? For the Odyssey Lake Michigan, guests are more than welcome to park in the garage at Navy Pier. Closest parking will be found in the West parking garage at door number 4. Limited parking for Odyssey Chicago River is available at 302 E. North Water Street, on the lower level. Alternate parking lots are available in the Streeterville area. We unfortunately do not validate parking since the garage is operated by Standard Parking. There is a flat parking rate of $28 for the parking garage at Navy Pier (off-season prices are lower between October-April). For more information, contact Standard Parking directly at 312.595.5072. 18-2238-8077
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE SAMPLE INVITATION WORDING? Usually we recommend standard wedding invitation wording and on the insert card include more information about our unique venue, for example; where to park, boarding time, docking time. WHEN IS MY FINAL PAYMENT DUE, WHO DO I GIVE THAT TO? Final payment is due one month before your event date. You will be responsible for paying the full contracted amount at this time. You will want to send all payments directly to your Account Manager. CAN I ADD ON MORE PEOPLE? Yes, you can certainly add on more people. For a shared deck reception it is best to add on as soon as possible to guarantee that we have the space to accommodate your additional guests. If you are on a private deck there are limitations to the amount of people that we can accommodate on each deck. Please be aware of your deck maximum so that you do not exceed it. WHO WILL SET UP THE DECORATIONS FOR MY EVENT? The onboard coordinator will be there to assist in setting things out. For example; the card box, cake knife, guest book, and champagne flutes. If there is anything that will involve any set up or assembly you will need to assign Someone from your party to do this. WHO WILL BE WITH US THE DAY OF THE CELEBRATION? There are onboard coordinators that specialize in each boat; they will be there to assist with all coordination the day of your event. All information discussed with your coordinator before your event day will be communicated to the onboard staff. CAN WE HAVE AN AISLE RUNNER? With the outside weather conditions, the only runner that we can allow is an actual carpet runner through our vendor. We can not facilitate any plastic or cloth runners due to wind conditions. Please ask your Wedding Coordinator for more details if you are interested in renting.
