Yes, of course. If you know Kel; you know that one word answers don't exist. Happy Reading! :)
We ask that all of our guests RSVP no later than JANUARY 2, 2022. We will assume that any guest that has not completed their RSVP will not be attending. We are asking that all RSVP's be completed online. Please see the RSVP tab on this website.
Who: CJ & Kelly What: Marriage. That whole lifetime thing. Where: Plant No. 4 - Downtown Milwaukee When: Saturday, February 19th, 2022; Guests to arrive by 4:15pm Ceremony Starts at: 4:30pm Cocktail Hour to start at: 5pm Reception to Follow at: 6:30pm. Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, & Reception are all within the same venue! See our "Schedule" & "Hotels, Parking & Travel" pages for additional details!
We sure will! We have an amazing Photography Team and Videographer that will be capturing all of the moments throughout our day. We encourage all of our guests to snap pictures and take videos throughout the entire day WITH ONE EXCEPTION. :) We ask that all of our guests remain unplugged during our ceremony so that we can see all of your beautiful faces in our pictures versus phones. We promise to share all of our photos and videos after the event!
You know us; we love your kiddies! We have, however, decided to make this an "adults-only" kind of day! We do know that this is asking for additional accommodations to be made and we greatly appreciate it. If there is a situation in which you are in need of childcare for the day/evening in Milwaukee; reach out to Kelly or CJ and we can give some recommendations!
LOTS OF BOTH. Food: Since Kel & Ceej's favorite past time is food; there will be lots of it! During cocktail hour, we'll have your classic Wisconsin-Style cheeses, meats and other treats. Dinner is going to be buffet-style and we are bringing in one of our favorites; Double-B's BBQ! Drink: We have hired a phenomenal team of bartenders from Over The Moon Bartending and plan to offer an Open Bar to all of our guests. This will include wine, beer, cocktails, mocktails, soda, and water! We will be putting a tip jar out for our bartenders; so please be kind if you're able! :)
We've got you covered! We specifically chose DoubleB's BBQ because everything they will be serving will be Gluten-Free (with an exception to 2 sides). We will also ask for you to indicate any food allergies or dietary restrictions on our RSVP's. The team at DoubleB's is more than ready to create stunning dishes for anybody who is vegetarian, vegan, and/or has any sort of dietary restriction but we'll just need to know in advance!
We are not the fashion police; however, we're thinking anything between Formal & Cocktail! We want you to feel your best. :)
Again, we've got you! We want everyone to feel their best and be comfortable. We would recommend anything from suits to dress pants/button-ups or if your'e more comfortable in khakis; go for that. Ladies, feel free to wear dresses, a skirt and a top, a pant suit, etc. We would also like to point out that it will be February in Wisconsin. This in itself is not very helpful because it could be -20 degrees and sleeting or 50 degrees and sunny! What we can tell you is that everything will be indoors!
Driving in the city can be stressful and we don't blame you for having some quesitons! Our goal is to make the city travel as seamless and simple as possible for our guests. For Guests NOT Staying Overnight & Just Needing Parking for the Evening: There is a parking garage located directly across the street from our venue. It is a multi-level gated parking garage. The parking garage is located at: 212 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Milwaukee, WI For Guests Staying Overnight at a Hotel: We will have rooms blocked at the Drury Plaza Downtown, Kimpton Journeyman Hotel and the Holiday Inn Express Milwaukee Downtown. If you are staying at the Drury or Holiday Inn Express we will be hiring a Shuttle Service to bring guests to and from the hotel & venue before the ceremony and during/after the reception. If you are staying at the Kimpton Journeyman; the hotel is right next to our venue and within walking distance.
