FAQs

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our reception will be adults-only. We want everyone to relax and have a great time! Kids are absolutely welcome at the ceremony though.

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

Think semi-formal/cocktail attire! Ladies, a nice cocktail dress or a chic jumpsuit; gents, a suit or blazer should do the trick. We want everyone to feel stylish but comfortable.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! We've reserved room blocks at two hotels near our venue, and you'll find all the details on our "Travel" page. There are also plenty of other great options in the area if you'd prefer to explore on your own.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the ceremony begins, so you can find your seat and get settled. You won’t want to miss the big moment!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by September 17. It helps us finalize all the fun details. You can RSVP right here on the website.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes! There’s a large parking lot next to the church for the ceremony. For the reception, there’s no parking at the venue itself, but there’s a parking garage less than a block away at Historic Third Ward Parking (225 E Chicago St, Milwaukee, WI 53202), as well as plenty of street parking nearby.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

We won’t be providing transportation, but rideshare services (like Uber or Lyft) are a great option.

Question

What can we do between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

We know there’s a bit of a gap, but don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Check out the “Things to Do” section for great nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and fun spots to explore while you wait for the party to start.

Question

Will there be any vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or special diet options?

Answer

Yes, we’ll have a vegetarian option available. If you have any special dietary needs, please let us know ahead of time, and we’ll make sure you're taken care of.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We’d love to celebrate with everyone, but due to venue restrictions, we can only accommodate the guests listed on the invitation. We’re so excited to celebrate in an intimate setting with our nearest and dearest—thank you for understanding!

Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

Milwaukee in October likes to keep us on our toes—it could be a crisp 60 and sunny or a chilly 40 and rainy. In true Wisconsin fashion, you might even get all four seasons in one day! We recommend bringing a jacket (just in case) and maybe an umbrella, because you never know.

Question

Do you have a wedding registry? Where?

Answer

Your presence is the best gift, but if you'd like to give, we’ve put together a registry with some of our favorite things! You can find everything in one place on the “Registry” page.

Question

Can I take photographs during the ceremony?

Answer

We’re going for an unplugged ceremony to keep the focus on the moment, so please leave your phones and cameras aside. Our photographer and videographer will capture all the magic, and we’ll share the photos later!

Question

I still have questions—how can I get in touch?

Answer

We’re happy to help! If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to us at octwedding2025@gmail.com. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
