Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Formal attire, black tie encouraged! We invite our guests to dress up for the occasion. Black is highly encouraged, but rich, dark autumnal colors are also welcome.

Early October in Milwaukee is typically beautiful fall weather, with daytime temperatures in the 60s and cooler evenings. We recommend bringing a jacket or wrap, particularly because the cocktail hour will be spent outside.

Our wedding will be an adults-only celebration.
