Hotel

The Iron Horse Hotel

500 West Florida Street, Milwaukee, WI 53204
 

To offer more flexibility for our guests, we have decided not to provide a hotel block. This location is a bit pricier, but it’s within walking distance of the venue—perfect for those who want to fully enjoy the celebration.

Hotel

Cambria Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

503 North Plankinton Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53203
 

For a more budget-friendly option, we suggest this hotel, which is a short drive from the venue. It’s an excellent choice for those looking to save a bit while still staying close enough to join the celebration with ease.

Your presence is gift enough, but if you're feeling particularly generous, these are a few things we'd love to have as newlyweds.

Things To Do

Milwaukee is more than just a city to us; it’s where we fell deeper in love. With its vibrant art scene, incredible coffee, and welcoming spirit, Milwaukee feels like home. We’re so grateful for this place and even more excited to share it with the people we hold dear. Here are some of our favorite spots—each one a small piece of why we love Milwaukee and can’t wait for you to experience it too.

Milwaukee Public Market

400 North Water Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202

The Milwaukee Public Market is a perfect taste of everything we love about the city. Start your visit at Anodyne, one of our favorite coffee spots, and don’t miss C. Adams Bakery, where you’ll find the best cheesecake in the world. From local bites to unique vendors, the market offers so much to explore—it’s one of the many reasons we fell in love with Milwaukee.

La Finca Coffeehouse

3558 East Sivyer Avenue, Saint Francis, WI 53235

This might just be the best-tasting coffee in Milwaukee—seriously. The vibes? Immaculate. The pan dulce? Chef’s kiss. Jackie swears by the Horchata Latte, while Jenna is all about the Fresas con Crema Latte (yes, it sounds weird, but trust her—it’s amazing). A must-visit for great coffee and even better vibes!

Honey Berry Pancakes and Cafe

2878 South 108th Street, West Allis, WI 53227

We LOVE this place. Seriously, it’s the best breakfast we’ve ever had—maybe anywhere. If you go, just order the Back to Bed Sandwich. Trust us. That’s it. That’s the whole recommendation. You’re welcome. 🥞🍳

Colectivo Bay View

2301 South Kinnickinnic Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53207

Okay, maybe there are a few too many coffee spots on this list—but it’s Jenna, so what else would you expect? Colectivo is a true Milwaukee staple, and the Bay View location has a vibe all its own. It’s our little escape, where we go to recharge and, somehow, fall a bit more in love with the city (and each other) every time.

Indulgence Chocolatiers

211 South 2nd Street, Milwaukee, WI 53204

Chocolate lovers, this one’s for you. Indulgence Chocolatiers is a must-visit, and we can’t recommend the Vanilla Bean Malt Bar enough—we may or may not have left with a bag full of them multiple times!

Zócalo Food Park

636 South 6th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53204

If you’re in town for lunch or dinner the day after the wedding, Zócalo is a must. It’s hands down our favorite spot in Milwaukee—a food lover's dream with its vibrant collection of food trucks. Be sure to try Las Virellas; it’s the best Puerto Rican food in the city (and we’ll happily defend that claim!).
