Travel Note
Important considerations!
After choosing the date that worked for us, family, the venue, and the caterer, we realized that our weeding weekend coincides with UW-Madison's Homecoming, one of the biggest events of the year in Madison! It's a super fun weekend to be in town, but unfortunately that means that hotels in downtown Madison will be much more expensive than usual. Our venue is close to Stoughton, a very cute little town about 25 min southeast of Madison. (see "Things to Do" section). We've reserved several hotel blocks there, as well as a few just outside of downtown Madison. We'll have a shuttle that brings folks from the venue to both the Stoughton and Madison East hotels. There may also be Airbnbs available near the venue if you plan to take your own transport to and from Sprouting Acres (there's a yurt in Cambridge that's available as I'm writing this in late May (IYKYK)! My cousin Megan has actually stayed there and can vouch for it :D )
Flight
Madison - Dane County Regional Airport (MSN)
Flying into Madison (Dane County Regional Airport) is very convenient but we know it can be expensive! Other options: - Milwaukee airport is about a 1.5 hour drive. Badger Bus runs a route to Madison that takes ~2 hours and costs ~$25 one way. - Chicago O'Hare is about a 2 hour drive. Van Galder Bus runs a route to Madison that takes ~3 hours and costs ~$36 one way.
