Question

My hotel reservation got cancelled due to construction necessitated by recent weather events. What should I do?

Answer

We recommend calling the hotel manager of the hotel you booked. The other two hotels the wedding shuttle will be servicing are fully booked. Ask the manager if they can honor the same price you booked your original reservation and rebook you at a local hotel. There are several hotels that are north and south of the venue and are a short drive to the venue. Thanks for your flexibility!

Question

We’ve heard about recent flooding in Milwaukee—will this affect the wedding?

Answer

We appreciate everyone’s concern! While parts of Milwaukee have recently experienced flooding, our wedding venue and hotel accommodations have seen only minimal impact. The exception being the Fairfield Inn and Suites, which is fully closed. Local crews have been hard at work, and the city is operating normally for visitors. If you’ll be driving into the city, you may want to allow a little extra time and check your GPS for any detours. We’ll keep this page updated if anything changes, but we’re happy to say the celebration is still on—rain or shine!

Question

What should I do with the recipe card included in the invitation?

Answer

Write down one of your favorite recipes on the enclosed recipe card — anything you’d like to share, from cocktails to main courses to sweet treats (we love them all!). Be sure to bring the card with you to the wedding, where we’ll have a special recipe box to collect them. Prefer to submit your recipe online instead?
