Let's Celebrate
Friday, August 15, 2025
Welcome Party in the Park
4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
1515 Rod and Gun Park Drive, Eau Claire, WI 54701
Come join us for a casual welcome get together in the park on Friday evening. We'll have some drinks available, but feel free to bring anything specific you'd like. Stop by for the whole time or for just a few minutes- whatever works for you! There are two parking lots for the park. We recommend using the upper lot, which is right above the pavilion and therefore a little bit closer.

FAQ
Question
Is the event indoors or outdoors?
Answer
We plan to host the reception primarily on the outdoor patio of the venue, unless severe weather pushes us inside instead.
Question
Can we bring our kids?
Answer
Yes, kids are welcome! There is a small grassy area within the venue, plus a courtyard just outside the venue to run around a bit if needed. That said, we totally understand if a night out without the little ones sounds like more fun for you, so do whatever works best for your family.
Question
Is there Parking at the venue?
Answer
There is plenty of parking near Helix, with street parking and multiple lots within walking distance.
Question
Attire
Answer
We suggest something dressy but comfortable — think cocktail attire or summer formal (ex. dresses for the ladies and collared shirts for the gents).
Question
Food allergies/dietary restrictions
Answer
We’ll be serving a planned buffet menu for dinner, but we understand that not everyone’s dietary needs are the same. While the buffet may not cover every restriction, the venue does have a regular menu available that guests are welcome to order from on their own.
Question
Do you have a Gift Registry?
Answer
Nope! We’re not doing a traditional gift registry—your love and support is truly the greatest gift we could ask for. We've been happily living in sin for over six years now, so we already have everything we need. If you insist on gifting something, a contribution toward our honeymoon fund or future house-buying endeavors would be most appreciated. But truly, no pressure—just having you there to celebrate with us means the world!
Question
Accommodations & Travel
Answer
See travel section on website for our recommendations on hotels and flights. We placed room blocks to ensure our guests have a place to book should things sell out, but feel free to do your own research and stay wherever works best for you!
