FAQs

Question

When and where is the wedding ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will be held at the Basilica of St. Josaphat at 11:00 AM noon on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Please arrive with enough time to park and find a seat.

Question

Where is the reception, and what time does it start?

Answer

The reception will begin with cocktail hour at 4:30 PM, followed by dinner and dancing. The venue details and address can be found on the Schedule page.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We’ve included more details on the Schedule page, but here’s a quick summary: Ceremony: Sunday best / Church attire. There’s a bit of a break between the ceremony and reception, so wear what you’ll be comfortable in for church and early afternoon. Reception: Black tie optional. That means tuxedos and long dresses are welcome, but not required. Think elevated evening wear!

Question

There’s a long break between the ceremony and reception — what should we do?

Answer

We know it’s a bit of a gap! We’ll be sharing our favorite things to do around Milwaukee on the Things To Do page — whether you want to grab lunch, explore the lakefront, or just relax with a coffee, we’ve got you covered.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

Children are welcome with a few guidelines: Infants who are young enough to sit on a lap or stay in a carrier (and don’t need a meal or separate seat) are welcome. Children ages 8 and older are also invited. We kindly ask that other children stay home so everyone (including parents!) can enjoy the evening.

Question

Will there be food and drinks?

Answer

Yes! Cocktail hour begins at 4:30 PM with drinks and appetizers, followed by a full dinner and dessert. We’ll also have plenty of options to keep everyone happy — if you noted dietary restrictions on your RSVP, we've got you covered.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We’ve reserved hotel blocks and included lodging recommendations on the Travel & Accommodations page. Since it’s a holiday weekend, we recommend booking early!

Question

Are you doing anything else over the weekend?

Answer

Yes! We’re planning to stick around Milwaukee for the rest of the Memorial Day weekend so we can spend more time with our guests — especially those traveling from out of town. Check the Weekend Schedule page for informal meetups and ideas.

Question

Is there parking at the church and reception venue?

Answer

We have included parking details on the Schedule page. The Basilica has nearby parking available through the Pope John Paul II Pavilion entrance, and there is garage parking next to the Hilton Milwaukee City Center for the reception.
