Things To Do
Historic Third Ward
Here you'll find dining, shopping, galleries, spas, and more in a historic warehouse setting. Some of Grace & Billy's favorite spots include Cafe Benelux, The Wicked Hop, and The Outsider. Check out the beautiful RiverWalk too - entrances are along Water Street.
Milwaukee Public Market
Located at the start of the Third Ward neighborhood, this is fun spot to explore local and speciality vendors with a variety of freshly prepared food too. Try Billy's favorite Bloody Mary at West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe!
Colectivo Coffee on the Lakefront
This Milwaukee-founded coffee shop and cafe has always been one of Grace's favorites. You'll see a handful of locations around Milwaukee, but the coolest one is on the lakefront in the old Milwaukee River Flushing Station built in 1888. Grab a coffee and pastry and enjoy their expansive patio.
Lake Park
Take a walk through Lake Park, a mile-long park on a bluff above Lake Michigan. Fun fact- this park was designed in the late 19th century by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also helped design Central Park in New York City! The park includes North Point Light House, an 18-hole golf course, and stunning views of Lake Michigan.
3rd St. Market Hall
Check out this downtown food hall that celebrates the city’s cuisine, diversity, and culture on a historic block of Milwaukee. Enjoy local food and drinks from various vendors and play games such as snookball, shuffleboard, giant Jenga, or bags. Or practice your swing in the TopGolf Swing Suite!
Deer District
While the main attraction here is Fiserv Forum (Go Bucks!), the District is Milwaukee's premier destination for food, sports & entertainment.
Lakefront Brewery
Known for their highly entertaining and sought-after brewery tours, Lakefront Brewery produces 20+ year-round and seasonal beers. Check out their German-inspired beer hall with a great Friday Fish Fry and award-winning cheese curds.
Milwaukee Art Museum
Located on the lakefront, the Milwaukee Art Museum is one of the largest art museums in the US. Aside from its galleries, the museum includes a cafe, named Cafe Calatrava, with views of Lake Michigan, and a gift shop.
Juneau Park
Another park overlooking Lake Michigan, near the ceremony and reception locations. Enjoy the lakefront walking path or the seasonal beer garden.
