FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 2:00 PM weather dependent. We kindly ask guests to arrive 15–20 minutes early to allow plenty of time for parking, seating, and to settle in comfortably before the celebration begins.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Our ceremony will be held at a beautiful historic church, built in 1854. Because parking is extremely limited, we strongly encourage all guests to take the provided shuttle—it’s the easiest and safest option, especially with winter weather. If you’re not able to take the shuttle, please try to carpool to help reduce the number of vehicles. Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly!

Question

Where do I go if I want to take the Shuttle to Otter Creek?

Answer

If you're taking the shuttle to Otter Creek for the ceremony—thank you! Please arrive at Bethel Horizons Camp and Retreat Center and park in the designated parking area. The shuttle will depart Bethel Horizon at 1:20PM to arrive to the church on time. It takes approximately 20 minutes to get from the reception area back to the church. Everyone who takes the shuttle to the church will have a shuttle available for the return trip after the ceremony. Since your car will already be parked at Bethel Horizons, you'll be free to leave at any time after the reception. We will not have a shuttle running from Bethel Horizon and hotels in the area, so please make sure you have a way to get back home safely at the end of the night!

Question

Where Can I Park at Otter Creek Church

Answer

If you are driving to Otter Creek and the lot is full, please park on the side of the road with your car facing east. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of driving during the winter in Wisconsin, feel free to check out our shuttle!

Question

Can I Sleep over at Bethels?

Answer

As a campground, there's plenty of space for people to stay and it's a cheaper alternative as it's $14 per person and linens are an extra $12 for the stay. If you are going to be spending the night at Bethels, you MUST let Sam and Chris know by December 17th. This gives us enough time to make sure anyone that wants a bed will have one.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

There’s no official dress code—we just ask that you dress nicely to match the spirit of the day. No need to go full formal, but think of it as an excuse to wear something a little special. And yes, winter warmth is always in style (this is Wisconsin in January, after all).

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please have all RSVP information in by November 30th, 2025. This will ensure we have a spot and dinner for you!

Question
