Yes. There is a block of rooms available at the AmericInn (address: 150 Commerce St, Wabasha, MN 55981) in Wabasha, MN. It is a 19 min drive to Villa Bellezza. There is not a discount for booking within this block, so I would recommend getting a room outside of the block and leaving those extra rooms for the last minute planners. Update- 2/1/25: The hotel is extremely busy this weekend. They have about 6 suites left for Friday night. Alternative places to stay include the Coffee Mill Inn & Suites (across the road from AmericInn Wabasha- within walking distance of shuttle pickup), The Anderson House Hotel in downtown Wabasha, The Harbor Hill Inn, or Pepin Motel. The Pepin Motel and Harbor Hill Inn are within Pepin. There are additionally Airbnbs and VRBOs in/around Pepin.

Yes. There will be one shuttle (coach bus) leaving from AmericInn around 4:00, getting to the venue by 4:30. There will be three shuttles at the end of the night, at 9, 10:30, and 11:45. Technically, if you are not staying at the hotel, they do not want you parking your car in the lot. The hotel is fully booked that night.

Yes! We want everyone to get back safely. The venue just kindly asks that cars are picked up the morning after.

Hey, even parents need a break! Please understand that this will be an adults only event. The only children that will be present are the bride's niece and nephews as they will play a role in the ceremony. We hope you can respect our decision.

Cocktail attire. Imagine your nicer vineyard attire. We recommend a dress shirt with an optional tie for the men and a knee length dress for the ladies. It's really up to your preference! Just leave those jeans and flannels at home please.

The ceremony will be outdoors, so plan accordingly based on weather. It is under a pavilion, but the sides are exposed. The reception will be held indoors, with access to several outdoor spaces for hanging out and playing games!

Pepin is surrounded by several other cute small towns on the western side of Wisconsin. Here are a few options: The Stone Barn in Nelson for their wood fired pizza, Township 23 Distillery for a delicious cocktail, the Laura Ingalls Wilder park and museum if you're a fan, Frontenac State Park for views of the bluffs and Mississippi River, or make your way over the river to Wabasha to see the infamous Slippery's Bar and Grill, known for its role in the Grumpy Old Men movies.

There are several Airbnb and VRBO options within and around Pepin. There is also a small motel near the venue called the Pepin Motel. Outside of these options, the next closest large hotel would be the AmericInn in Lake City, MN.
