Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Semi-formal. You never quite know what the Wisconsin weather holds in May. We are hoping for a warm, beautiful spring day! If weather permits we will be having our cocktail hour outside so maybe bring a jacket just in case.
Question
Can I bring a date/our kids?
Answer
Due to the limited amount of space and prior obligations to our vendors, guests formally invited on your wedding invitation will be accounted for. Thank you for understanding and respecting our wishes. We promise there will be plenty of people to party with!
