Q + A

What is the timeline for the big day?

Ceremony will be at 2 pm, followed by some off-site photos of bride and groom with family and close friends. We will be returning around 4 pm to enjoy a few drinks and stories with our guests. Dinner will start at 5 pm with dancing to follow until 10 pm.

What should you wear?

Our ceremony and reception will be at a true Wisconsin style dive bar, so dress casual and comfortable.

What is the venue like?

Hawk's Nest is located right on the Fox River. There is a beautiful deck with string lights, patio style table and chairs, and even a few fire tables! Seating provided can accommodate around 50-60 people. If you would like to, you may bring your own chair. The inside has room for up to 15-18 at the bar, and additional seating "up top" with high-top tables and stools. We intend to celebrate mostly outside, however in the event of unfavorable weather, we will be moving inside. Remember, this is a dive bar, so think less elegant and more "come as you are". Hawk's Nest is home to us!

What will we be having for dinner?

Dinner will be a potluck style with hot beef, pulled pork, a variety of cold salads, some sweet treats, and of course, Cake!

Will there be entertainment?

We will have a DJ from 4 pm to 10 pm

Gifts?

Gifts are not a necessity, but we appreciate anyone wanting to provide a gift. We will have a card box for anyone wanting to bring a card and cash. We have been saving for a downpayment on a house and would also like to go on a tropical honeymoon, so cash is preferred. We also have a registry on Amazon if you prefer a physical gift.
