Transportation
Glen Ellyn and the greater Chicago suburban area are well-connected, making it easy to get around. For local travel, we suggest using taxis, rideshare services, or rental cars. Parking is available at The Abbington, and public transportation options such as Metra trains and local buses can also be used if you prefer not to drive.

We recommend flying into Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), which is approximately a 30-minute drive from the wedding venue. Alternatively, Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) is about a 40-minute drive away. From either airport, you can take a taxi, rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, or rent a car for added flexibility.
