Q + A

How far away is the airport to the wedding venue?

There are two international airports within driving distance; Minneapolis–Saint Paul & Chicago O'Hare. Minneapolis - Saint Paul is approximately 1.5 hours away by car while Chicago is 4 1/2-5 hours away by car. Chippewa Valley Regional Airport is in the same town as the wedding venue, and is approximately 15 minutes drive to the wedding venue.

Are there airport shuttle services available?

From Minneapolis - Saint Paul Groome Transportation offers shared shuttle services to Eau Claire for $47 p/p one way (online booking rate). Landline offers shared shuttle services to their Chippewa Valley Regional Airport drop-off point starting at $35 p/p one way. Green Fleet offers luxurious sustainable private shuttle services starting at $149 p/p one way. This price includes seating for up to 4 adults and 2 children, plenty of space for luggage and door-to-door service to your accommodations and airport terminal. **If you plan on traveling through MSP airport, get in touch with us to see if we can pick you up or plan shuttle services for multiple parties arriving the same time. From Chicago O'Hare Greyhound bus service offers transport from Chicago Bus station to Eau Claire. Prices and times vary.

Will there be any activities planned before the wedding day?

Yes, we will be planning events and activities throughout the week of the wedding for our long distance guests traveling to the Eau Claire area. If you are planning to travel, let us know what day you will be arriving so we can send you more details!

Should we consider renting a car?

If your party plans on staying at The Lismore hotel or in the downtown Eau Claire area, most of the activities planned plus shops and restaurants are within a short walking distance. The wedding venue is a 15-20 minute drive away but there will be a constant shuttle service to and from The Lismore and the wedding venue the day of the wedding so you can enjoy the party without thinking about driving. Shuttle services to MSP airport are affordable, and if there are enough people arriving or departing around the same time, we will look into group shuttle options specifically for our guests. Otherwise, most locations are accessible via Uber and taxi. Our recommendation is to avoid booking a rental car unless you plan on traveling further after the festivities.
