Where should I park?
Parking at St. Anne's is available across the street in the school parking lot.
The Grand Banquet Hall does not have their own parking lot and parking in Stillwater in the summer can sometimes be tricky. However, there are two public parking lots with handicap parking adjacent to the Grand. There is also parking available at the Lowell Inn parking ramp a few blocks away. There are also many other free and pay lots around Stillwater. Guests who may have difficulty with walking will want to be dropped off at the front door. Please see the attached link for more parking options.

Is there a handicap entrance to St. Anne's and the Grand?
Yes, both St. Anne's and the Grand are handicap accessible. If you need accommodations, please park in the parking lot adjacent to the church and enter the church through the side Beaudette center entrance. There is an elevator located inside. All other guests are asked to park in the parking lot across the street. The Grand is also handicap accessible and has handicap spots out front of the building.
Where can I find the registries?
We are registered at Target and Amazon. Both registries are linked to this site. We also have a cash fund set up through The Knot. We are so grateful for your generosity in celebrating this new stage of life with us!
What is the schedule for the day?
The ceremony will be at 2:00pm at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Somerset, WI. We ask that guests do not arrive before 1:30pm. Cocktail hour will follow the ceremony at the Grand Banquet Hall in Stillwater, MN starting at 4:00pm. Cocktail hour will include beer and wine. Dinner will be served at 6:00pm, followed by dessert, speeches, and then dancing! Transportation back to the hotels will begin at 10:00pm. The reception will conclude at 12:00am.
What is the dress code for the wedding?
The dress code for the wedding is semi-formal, or as some people like to say, dressy casual. Feel free to wear whatever is comfortable to you. Your presence is much more important to us than your clothes.
What if I have special dietary restrictions?
Please let us know if you have any special dietary restrictions or allergies. We will do our best to accommodate. The dinner options will include vegetarian and kid-friendly options.
Can I bring a plus one?
As much as we would love to have as many people as possible share with us in our big day, we are limited on capacity, as both Shelly and Austin have large families. Invitations have been addressed specifically to those that are invited. If you have a plus one, your invitation will be addressed with " & Guest." As RSVPs come in, we may be able to accommodate so please ask and we will see what we can do!
Can I take and post pictures at the wedding?
Yes! Please take lots of pictures throughout the day (excluding the ceremony - we have an amazing photographer for that!) Please post any and all pictures with our wedding hashtag - #thealmans2022 - so that we can keep track of all of them.
How can I contact the couple with questions?
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 715-410-7540 (Shelly) or 651-235-6759 (Austin) or shellyschmitt27@gmail.com.
