FAQs
Question
Where do I park?
Answer
For the ceremony, The Paine has two parking lots: a smaller lot located on High Ave and a larger one on Algoma Boulevard. We recommend using the Algoma Boulevard option as the other lot is open to museum guests. You may also park along Algoma Boulevard and Congress Avenue. For the reception, The Gibson Social Club has a parking lot directly connected to the building. There are also other public lots and street parking available in downtown Oshkosh.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will start promptly at 1:30pm. We ask that all guests arrive early enough to allow time to park, navigate the venue, and be seated at least 10 min prior to then.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Formal attire. We invite all guests to take this opportunity to dress their best for the evening! Men, please wear dress pants and a dress shirt. Suits are welcomed, but not required. Women, please wear mid to floor length gowns or an elegant pantsuit. Keep in mind that the ceremony will be outdoors.
Question
Can I take photos?
Answer
We kindly ask that you keep our wedding ceremony "unplugged" and refrain from taking any photos or videos. We want our guests to truly be in the moment with us during this special day. However, we encourage you to snap away at the reception! Keep an eye out for QR codes throughout the venue to easily share all your pics to a shared album.
Question
Are the festivities indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Rain or shine, the ceremony will be held outdoors in the Paine gardens. In the event of heavy rain, we will utilize their rain tent. The cocktail hour and reception will be indoors at the Gibson Social Club.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
If you have a food allergy please indicate that on your RSVP response. We will try to accommodate it to the best of our ability. The full meal (minus the bread loaves and select dessert options) will be naturally gluten and chicken-free. If you would like a gluten-free roll please let us know in your RSVP response.
