Stylus is one of our favorite restaurants in CDA! Between the cool atmosphere, top-notch music, and fabulous french cuisine and wine selection, Stylus is definitely a can't-miss! We went here for Joe's birthday with Kate's family the night we got engaged, and returned to take some of our engagement photos -- peep the interior photos on the Gallery page, especially that Prince mural!
The Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course, home of the floating green, has been near the top of every golfer’s bucket list since opening in 1991. Situated right on Coeur d'Alene Lake, it is certainly a beautiful course to play a few rounds, and be sure to hit the 19th hole, the Floating Green restaurant, where both Kate and her sister Karabeth have worked for many consecutive summers!
A staple to the entertainment community of Coeur d'Alene, CST has been filling the summer stage with Broadway productions since 1967! Growing up, Kate performed with CST for many summers, most recently appearing their production of Mamma Mia! in 2022. They have a fabulous Broadway season of shows planned for Summer of 2026! During the week of our wedding, performances of Broadway musical Come From Away! will be happening - catch a show if you can!
This is another great place to golf while you're in the area! Located in Post Falls, it has a beautiful course! It also has hotel accommodations available at a great rate, so think about booking here if you know you'd like to golf here too!

In the heart of the Riverstone area, Vine and Olive Eatery is a fabulous place to stop for dinner! Riverstone is located conveniently about four miles from the Schini's house. Really great food, really great wine, and really great company!
Vicino is a great Neapolitan-style wood fired pizzeria in the Riverstone area! Riverstone is located conveniently about four miles from the Schini's house. Make sure you try Kate's favorite, their Margarita pizza, and the Lambrusco!
Check out the shops on Sherman Avenue, the main street of downtown! Sherman runs right next to the Coeur d'Alene Resort and has may different restaurants and shops to offer. Hit Sweet Lou's right next to McEuen Park or head down to Moontime and Lola's, a local wine bar, for dinner and drinks-- all located on Sherman. Sherman Ave runs right along the lake, so be sure to spend some time on one of the public beaches or cliff jumping off Tubbs Hill! Summertime is one of the best times to be in Coeur d'Alene!
