We love your children, but we kindly ask that you leave your kids at home and plan for childcare for the evening.

Due to the size of our wedding, we kindly ask for you to not invite extra guests unless specified on your invitation.

Yes! We have a room block at The Pfister Hotel and The Milwaukee Marriot Downtown.

Black Tie Encouraged! Black-tie "encouraged" means that you have the option and are encouraged to wear your most formal attire (evening gown or tuxedo) if you own it or would like to. You can wear a tuxedo (no vest or cummerbund required) or a floor-length evening gown if you want, but a dark formal suit with dress pants and nice loafers would be acceptable too. Similarly, a knee-length or midi-length cocktail dress would also be appropriate instead of a floor-length gown.
