Travel Note
We do not have a hotel block at any hotels in the area, as no hotel was able to offer competitive rates or any additional convenience for our guests. Guests are free to stay wherever they like, but here are a few recommendations to get you started in your search: Cambria Hotel Milwaukee Downtown (12 min. Birch, 20 min. airport, 0 min. downtown Milwaukee) Renaissance Hotel Milwaukee West (7 min. Birch, 25 min. airport, 15 min. downtown Milwaukee) AirBNB airbnb.com Search "Wauwatosa, WI" or "Milwaukee, WI"
Travel Note
PARKING Birch has a handful of parking spots, which we are reserving for our guests with limited mobility. Please utilize the ample, free street parking available in the residential neighborhood that surrounds Birch. RIDE-SHARING Uber and Lyft are both available in Milwaukee! Birch is ~15 minutes from most downtown Milwaukee and Wauwatosa hotels.
Travel Note
Expect highs in the 70-80's and evenings in the 50's-60's, and rain about 10 days per month. We recommend packing layers, sunscreen, and, of course, your dancing shoes. Our wedding ceremony will take place indoors, but other wedding events and activities will be outdoor, weather permitting.
Flight
General Mitchell Int'l Airport (MKE) is Milwaukee's airport. MKE is 15 minutes from downtown and 25 minutes from Wauwatosa. It's a great airport in our experience- but good luck getting out of there without stopping for some Green Bay gear, cheese curds, or Wisconsin beer! You can also fly through Chicago. Shuttle services are available from Chicago to Milwaukee and take about two hours.
Travel Note
Summerfest has officially been scheduled for the same weekend as our wedding. We recommend booking a hotel AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to ensure you can book at a reasonable price.
