Our Wedding

We are excited to host our wedding and reception in downtown Milwaukee. As urban dwellers, we think the atmosphere and excitement of downtown is a terrific way to celebrate with our guests. We want to make this experience easy and enjoyable for all of you: We've created hotel blocks - some within walking distance of Old Saint Mary and The Wisconsin Club - others a very short drive away. For those of you who will use transportation to our wedding ceremony, we'd like to suggest the following so that you can avoid needless parking concerns: Plan to arrive at The Wisconsin Club - using the 10th Street entrance - between 1:15 and 1:35 p.m. Valets will be on duty to park your car! Then, board one of our WHITE TROLLEYS with your family and friends. You will be transported to Old Saint Mary for the ceremony. The trolleys will pick up all guests after the ceremony - even those who walked to Old Saint Mary - and take you to the Wisconsin Club for Cocktails, Hors d'oeuvres, Dinner and Dancing to help us celebrate our marriage! For those arriving via automobile, your car will be waiting for you at the close of our reception. Wisconsin Club shuttles will be available after the reception to take guests to the hotels hosting our courtesy blocks as well. *** Please note that anyone unable to arrive for early parking at the Wisconsin Club can park in the small lot behind Old Saint Mary or on nearby streets. Valets will be available to you after the ceremony and before the reception at The Wisconsin Club (again please use the 10th Street entrance).

Important Details

After the Pandemic, individually we were sick of being inside! We are grateful that dating apps exist because it is how we connected. Once we matched on Hinge, we decided to meet at Milwaukee's celebrated sports bar, Camp! After our first date watching the Milwaukee Brewers, we knew we had something special. After sharing our love for Wisconsin sports teams, date nights exploring new restaurants, and discovering all we have in common, we soon realized we were on the road to a great relationship! By introducing each other to our specific hobbies - running, pickleball, sports, movies, and theatre - our relationship grew...we were enriched with new interests we could share for life. We can’t wait to celebrate the beginning of the "rest of our lives" with our family, friends and of course our little dog, Teddy! We still love the Brewers...we also love the Packers and Bucks...but most importantly, we love each other!
