The ceremony will begin precisely at 4:00 and last around 30 minutes on the lake view patio. We politely ask you to refrain from taking photos during the ceremony.
Are there any local places you'd recommend I visit while in town?
Yes! Galena and the surrounding area are beautiful. Take in one of America's best main streets with plenty of shopping and restaurants.
There are many beautiful parks in the area as well. One of our favorites is Horseshoe Mound just outside of Galena on Blackjack road. This also just happens to be where we got engaged.
What are the best places to eat in Galena?
Galena has some of the best dining options you'll find. If you are getting into town Friday, we encourage you to check out Fried Green Tomatoes or Fritz & Frites on Main St. For lunch, check out Gobbie's and make sure to get the beer nuggets. The best breakfast option in town is definitely Otto's Place located near downtown. If you are looking for a cocktail, try Blaum Bros. Distillery on Highway 20 just a few minutes from downtown.
Which airport is closest?
The closest airports are Rockford, IL, Madison, WI, and Cedar Rapids, IA.
