Q: Are kids welcome?
A: Yes!
Q: Can I bring a plus one?
A: All single parties are welcome to bring a plus one, Just make sure to RSVP for them.
Q: What hotel should we book at?
A: We have decided not to do a hotel block since with the amount of hotels in the area there won't be any difficulty finding a room. Unfortunately they are all a bit of a drive from the venue, however. La Crosse will have the most options for hotels. Keep in mind La Crosse is 50 minutes away from the venue so plan accordingly. The shuttle bus will be going to/from The Charmant hotel parking lot which is in downtown La Crosse. There will be hotels within walking distance from the shuttle bus drop off location. Some of the hotels downtown are:
Charmant Hotel
Radisson Hotel
Country Inn & Suites
Grandstay Hotel
Hampton Inn & Suites
AmericInn by Wyndham
Courtyard
There's also hotels on the North side of La Crosse.
Otherwise there's hotels in Onalaska, Black River Falls, and La Crescent that would be within reasonable distance as well.
Q: What is the dress code?
A: Preferably shoes and a shirt.. and pants! Wear whatever you wish, it is a rustic venue and will be indoors, however do keep in mind it's still in winter so don't feel bad if you need to show up in boots.
Q: More info on the venue? Is it Copper Ridge or Tenba Ridge?
A: Both the vow renewal and reception will be in the same building, Copper Ridge. Copper Ridge is the event center located on the Tenba Ridge Winery property. It is a bit out in the country in Blair, WI, north of La Crosse.
Q: Can I leave my car there overnight?
A: Yes, they encourage you to do so rather than drive intoxicated. There is plenty of room for parking
Q: What can I expect with the vow renewal?
A: Graeham and Nikki will be reading hand-written vows, after not doing so at their original wedding. They will also be exchanging new wedding bands.
Q: Since it's on winery grounds will there be Tenba Ridge wine available to guests?
A: Yes! We will provide a glass of Tenba Ridge wine to our guests during dinner and it will be served at the bar throughout the evening.
Q: What should I do if I arrive early?
A: If you choose to take the shuttle bus, the shuttle bus is scheduled to arrive around 3:30pm. We encourage any early guests to reserve a seat and be sure to check out the winery. The views (and wine!) are incredible from the winery. The bar will also be open at Copper Ridge for guests at 3:30pm.
