Fall

THANK YOU

Wow! What a perfect day. We sincerely want to thank you all for coming to celebrate with us. We planned to share these words in person during the reception, but unfortunately the sun set doesn’t stop even for the bride and groom. Thank you to all of our family and friends for making this day a reality. We couldn’t have done it without you and your presence means so much to us! There are some details today that have special meaning to our relationship and we are excited that we get to share them with you: 1) The ping pong table. Steve and I got to know one another over ping pong while working in the office at Esker. Special shout out to Max who probably got us in there to begin with. &nbsp;2) The card guest activity! Cribbage is one of our favorite games and a frequent date early on in our relationship 3) We have a couple anniversaries we were also celebrating: My sister Hope &amp; &nbsp;David, and Steve’s aunt and uncle Mary &amp; Stuart as well! 4) The flowers were wood! My dad is donating some of the flowers from today to a couple rehab/nursing home facilities so that those who can’t enjoy real flowers due to pollen/allergens are able to appreciate something similar. 5) Finally, round of applause for the Vennebu staff, Erik, Sean, and Reba for being extra helpful today. What a dream vendor team we have so thank you thank you. Love, Steve and Hillary

Transportation Shuttle and Venue Parking

We will provide a shuttle to bring guests from LaQuinta to Vennebu Hill and back. The shuttle is expected to leave at 3:00pm and 3:15pm for the ceremony. Departure times back to the hotel are estimated at 9:00pm, 10:00pm, and 11:00pm, and 11:30pm (everyone out). There is a large parking lot at the venue for cars. To eliminate drunk driving, the venue allows cars to stay parked overnight, they just request that they're picked up by 10am on Saturday morning. Uber and Lyft both function in the area

Group Accommodations

Free breakfast, pet-friendly, gym, and indoor pool (not waterpark). This hotel is close to everything in The Wisconsin Dells area. Special rates closed 7/8/2024. Please reach out to Megan (La Quinta manager) mblackard@dellshotels.com if you need a room for Thursday or Friday and want a potential special rate.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Wisconsin Dells

Unfortunately we were not able to get reduced rates nor a room block due to their busy season. Typical Wisconsin Dells Waterpark experience and guests with rooms here get waterpark access included. This resort also provides multi-room options (condos, villas, houses) for those wanting to split costs and share a space. The location is right between La Quinta and Vennebu Hill. Shuttle can easily stop for transport. Please let Hillary/Steve know before the wedding if you're looking to take advantage of the shuttle so we can tell the driver!
