A summer fave where Braden grew up! Butterscotch anything for Braden and a Salted Caramel Pretzel flurry for Melanie is a staple order.
A beloved coffee spot for Melanie whenever she visits Braden's family. An iced sweet matcha from here always hits the spot and Braden is much simpler with a pourover/drip iced latte.
Fun place to hang out and there are games there too! A favorite spot to hang out with friends.
This is far from the ceremony and reception but if you're looking for something off the beaten path, this is Melanie's favorite boba spot in the Fox Valley. You can never go wrong with anything they offer! (If you do go here, I bet Melanie would be ecstatic if you used for phone number for rewards points being the thrifty queen she is)
You can stroll downtown starting with a meal at Good Company and end your walk by the lake or in Memorial Park. If you are looking for activities, there is candle making at Nana's Apothecary!
