Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Mackenna Bauman and Tyler Ramquist

Make a trip out of it! Madison has so much to offer—from lakeside views and great restaurants to coffee shops and local shopping. We’ll share some of our favorite spots soon.

Stroll Around Capitol Square

16 North Carroll Street, Madison, WI 53703

This vibrant hub is surrounded by shops, cafés, and street performers. It’s a great place to grab coffee, people-watch, or enjoy lunch before or after wedding events, and to take in views of the Wisconsin State Capitol. It’s especially beautiful in the evening, when the square comes alive with lights and activity.

Olbrich Botanical Gardens

3330 Atwood Avenue, Madison, WI 53704

Stunning themed gardens and a tropical conservatory (great for daytime exploring).

Explore the Chazen Museum of Art

750-800 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53706

Reopening this fall, and only a short ride away on the UW–Madison campus, this museum offers free galleries with works from around the world — perfect for art lovers or a leisurely afternoon.

Grab Food & Drinks on State Street

State Street, Madison, WI 53703

State Street is full of local favorites, casual eats, and lively bars. It connects the Capitol to the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus and is a great spot for a pre-wedding bite or late-night outing.

Relax at Period Garden Park

110 East Gorham Street, Madison, WI 53703

A lovely green space near State Street where guests can sit, chat, or enjoy a quiet moment amidst historic gardens and art installations.
