Question
Hotel Block
Answer

Question
Children Policy
Answer
While we’d love to celebrate with your little ones, the reception will be adults-only except for immediate family. However, everyone is welcome to join us for the ceremony at 1 pm!
Question
Transportation
Answer
We do not have scheduled transportation to and from the ceremony - however, the drive between the Basilica and the Hilton is short (about 10 minutes). If you don’t have a car, Uber and Lyft are great options!
Question
I'm not Catholic - should I attend the ceremony?
Answer
Yes, please! While our ceremony will include Catholic traditions, we welcome everyone to participate in the parts that feel comfortable to them. Whether in prayer, song, or reflection, we greatly appreciate your presence!
Question
Parking
Answer
There is a free parking lot at the Basilica. We ask that most guests park in the back parking lot just south of the Basilica (located off of Hayes and 6th street). Please reserve the smaller parking lot (West side of Basilica) for elderly guests and bridal party. For the reception, there’s a parking garage attached to the Hilton Milwaukee with a discounted rate of $10 (event only) or $20 for overnight parking. For overnight parking you may come and go as you please - take your ticket to the front desk for payment. For event parking only, please grab a parking ticket located at one of the bars during cocktail hour or reception.
