Travel Note
We are so honored that you will be joining us in the magical little town of Bayfield—a place that holds such a special place in our hearts. In June, Bayfield comes alive: lake breezes carry the scent of blooming flowers, sailboats dot the water, and the sun sets in a golden hush over the hills. It’s truly the most beautiful time of year here—and also very popular! Because of that, lodging fills up quite quickly. We’ve gathered a list of our favorite nearby places to stay—each with its own charm and character. We encourage you to book by September 1, 2025, to find a spot that feels just right for you. When you book, please be sure to mention that you are coming for our wedding. This helps us stay on top of the guest list and accommodations, and ensures the hotels know you're part of our celebration! While we’re so excited to celebrate with you, please know that guests are responsible for their own transportation and safety throughout the weekend. We want everyone to have a safe and memorable time—and that includes getting home safely after the fun. Bayfield is very walkable, and staying nearby means you’ll be just a short stroll away from the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being part of this celebration. We can’t wait to share this beautiful weekend with you!
