FAQs

Question

Will I be able to find a cab or Uber to/from the venue?

Answer

It is very unlikely. Cab services are usually unavailable in Galena and near the wedding venue. Please use the provided shuttles or drive to the venue. Parking is available at the venue. If cars are left overnight, they must be picked up the following day by 10 am. More details can be found below and on the "schedule" page.

Question

Will there be shuttles to/from the venue?

Answer

Sure will! Shuttle transportation will be provided to the wedding venue from two locations in Galena. Shuttles will leave promptly at 3:30 pm. The venue is 30 minutes away. Pickup locations: 1. Best Western Galena 9923 US-20, Galena, IL 61036 2. Galena City Hall 101 Green St, Galena, IL 61036 Following the reception, shuttles will depart at 11 pm to return guests back to the same locations in Galena. More details can be found on the "Schedule" page.

Question

Can I park at the venue?

Answer

Yes, you can! Guests who choose not to take the shuttle can park at the venue. If cars are left overnight, they must be picked up the following day by 10 am.

Question

How far is the wedding venue from downtown Galena?

Answer

The venue is about 30 minutes away.

Question

Is there a welcome event on Thursday?

Answer

You bet! Join us at 8 pm at Miss Kitty's Grape Escape in downtown Galena. Be there or be square! More details can be found on the "Schedule" page.

Question

Will we be outside?

Answer

You sure will be! You will be walking through grass, so while we want you to dress in your hottest pair of heels I do not suggest it. Maybe a chunky heel, a wedge? The venue is sprawling land so we invite you to wear something you will be comfortable in.

Question

What is the attire?

Answer

Cocktail and FUN. That sequin dress you bought years ago and haven’t worn, now is her time. The vintage bolo tie you got, bust it out. We will be outside so a stiletto might not be your best bet but just about anything else will do!

Question

What’s for dinner?

Answer

Italian family-style meal! There will be something for everyone from the restaurant Fried Green Tomatoes in Galena!

Question

How many people are allowed to gather?

Answer

As of now, 100 people but VACCINATED PEOPLE DON'T COUNT! So if you wanna party, go out and get that vaccine!

Question

How far is Galena from Chicago?

Answer

Galena is about 3–3.5 hours from the Chicago area.

Question

Do y’all have a room block?

Answer

The unfortunate answer to this is no, we do not. Because the wedding falls on a holiday weekend we were not able to secure a room block. However, we have made a list of hotels nearby in the "Travel" tab on our website. There are also plenty of bnbs, boutique hotels, and house rentals nearby that we're sure will be happy to accommodate everybody!

Question

I can't find a hotel in Galena, NOW WHAT!?

Answer

Dubuque Iowa is only 20 minutes away. So that is a good option too!

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

Dubuque Iowa is about half an hour away so that is probably the best bet but either airport in Chicago would work as well!
