The Wedding
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
E899 Stratton Lake Road, Waupaca, Wisconsin
Attire: The wedding will be on the lawn and the reception in the barn so rethink the stillettos! Summer party wear (sundresses, khakis, etc.) is recommended, but be prepared for any type of Wisconsin weather.
We're planning to start the wedding with a casual mingle, serving our favorite beverages. We'll gather around and get hitched when the time feels right. Shuttle buses will be provided all day and throughout the evening to ensure our guests can fully part-take in the frivolity. We'll provide shuttle schedules a little closer to the big day. For those not drinking or just staying for a short visit, limited parking is available on Stratton Lake Road.
The Reception
3:30 pm - 10:00 pm
E899 Stratton Lake Road, Waupaca, Wisconsin
Attire: We recommend you bring a jacket or wrap in case the night is cool. Remember, it is Wisconsin. Just sayin.
3:30ish: Cocktails, appetizers and lawn games 6:00: Dinner 7:00 - 10:00: Live music and more frivolity
After Party
Sat, Aug 26, 2017, 10:00 pm - Sun, Aug 27, 2017, 1:00 am
Attire: As long as everyone is still clothed, you can keep wearing the same thing. Swapping clothes is also acceptable.
The shuttle buses will continue to provide safe transportation to guests in order to enjoy the various fun venues around the Chain of Lakes. We may also have a bonfire at Bill & Bridget's Nest across the lake. Regardless, we can let the rest of the evening unfold and no one has to worry about transportation all day, all night, not ever.
