Between a move to Wisconsin and an exciting new chapter ahead, we realized... we just couldn't wait to be married! Our plans have shifted, and we're now gathering on the 4th of July in Wisconsin - trading mountain views for a summer day rooted in family, tradition, and the simple joy of being together :) This website holds your invitation, schedule, and all practical details. We hope you arrive feeling informed, grounded, and excited to share this celebration with us.

AFTERNOON After lunch, the day will open up into a celebration, with 4th of July guests arriving and the space coming to life with a mix of more family friends gathering together.

If you're still on town Sunday morning, we'd love to invite you to the Bride & Groom's Airbnb for a casual farewell brunch before everyone heads home. Stop by for coffee, bagels, and a cozy farewell before everyone heads home.
Flight
For our guests that are traveling, the closest airport is Appleton International Airport, located just under 30 minutes from both the hotel and wedding location. Ubers are available from the airport, though they can be limited in more rural areas. If you plan to use Uber, we recommend scheduling your trips in advance.
Hotel
We have a hotel block reserved at: Cobbleston Inn & Suites - Fremont Please book by June 1st to take advantage of the block before it expires. Since this is a busy holiday weekend, we highly recommend reserving early. Check-in is at 3PM and check-out is at 11AM. If you are planning to come to the hotel prior to 3PM, be sure to call ahead and request early check-in. There are also Airbnb options available throughout the area if you prefer a more private or group stay.
Rental Car
