FAQ
Question
What hotel should we stay at?
Answer
We have arranged special rates at both Staybridge Suites and Avid Hotels which are both right off exit 92 of I-90. Mention the Pollastrini/Wilson event or use the links provided! Book early because the rates will increase over time. We will have charter buses that will pick up and drop people off at both of these hotels for the reception party throughout the night. Should you prefer a different hotel, there are several more within one mile, however, the charter buses to the reception only pick-up at the Staybridge or Avid hotels so you will need to get to one of them by 3:45pm.
Question
What are the nearest airports to fly into the area?
Answer
The event hotels are located in the Wisconsin Dells which is about a 3 hour drive from either Ohare Int Airport (ORD) in Chicago or Minneapolis-St Paul Int Airport (MSP) in Minneapolis Metro. Secondary regional airports that may provide reasonable options include Milwaukee Mitchell Airport (MKE) two hours away or Madison Regional Airport (MSN) which is one hour away.
Question
What time is the wedding ceremony?
Answer
The wedding ceremony will take place at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Lyndon Station, WI. The ceremony will be from 2:00-2:30 pm. Everyone attending the wedding ceremony should plan on driving themselves to the church and back to the hotels. You will be picked up for the reception from ONLY the Staybridge and Avid hotels beginning at 3:45pm. After the ceremony, you will have to return to either one of the hotels above to be picked up for the reception party.
Question
How do we get to the venue?
Answer
We are renting charter buses to get everyone to the farm for the reception, due to NO parking at the farm. The buses will pick people up at the Staybridge and Avid hotels. The buses will begin picking people up from both Staybridge Suites and Avid Hotel at 3:45pm and the last bus will leave at 4:30pm. (Please be sure to be outside for pickup by 4:15pm)
Question
When do the buses pickup?
Answer
The charter buses will pickup in the parking lot of the Staybridge and Avid hotels beginning at 3:45pm and ending at 4:30 pm for the cocktail and reception party at the Pollastrini Farm. (Please be outside for boarding no later than 4:15pm) If you are staying at a different hotel, you can leave your car in either of these parking lots during the reception hours until you are dropped off again. Beginning at 8 pm the buses will depart every half hour to take people back to both hotels. This will run until 11 pm.
Question
How do we get back to our hotel?
Answer
The same charter buses that took you to the venue will take you home. They will run in loops beginning at 8 pm - 11 pm and will leave every half hour to take people back to the Staybridge and Avid hotel parking lots.
Question
What if we're staying in a different hotel or accommodation?
Answer
If you are staying in a different hotel other than Staybridge or Avid, you will have to get to one of these two hotel pickup / drop-off locations to board the buses to the reception and get on the bus from there. It is fine to leave your vehicle in these hotel parking lots for the night until you return back on the buses.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The ceremony and reception are semi-formal. The wedding is in September, so weather could be sunny and warm, or cloudy and cooler. Watch the weather and plan accordingly. Bring a coat if you need. We will have a designated area for coats at the reception area if you want to hang it up!
