Reception

Our Wedding

Liz and TJ began by exchanging messages on a dating app. Liz discovered that TJ was not a Packers fan. This caused Liz to end their relationship before it even began. Time passed. Liz realized she made a mistake. They dated for a few years before getting engaged. TJ proposed in their shared living room. It was romantic. A few months after that Liz became pregnant. She told TJ after he came home from work. It was surprising. On February 4th Liz gave birth to their son, Cliff. They are all looking forward to the wedding.

Wedding Party

Q + A

Milwaukee has a nice regional airport that is about 15 minutes from the venue and numerous hotels. Lyft and Uber are convenient ride-sharing services to get to and from the airport.

General Mitchell International Airport

The Marriott is about a 12 minute walk or short drive from the wedding venue.

Milwaukee Marriott Downtown

The Hilton is about a mile from the venue.

Hilton Milwaukee City Center

This hotel is one of Milwaukee's finest but it is on the pricier side. It's one block away from the wedding venue and where we anticipate grabbing a drink after the reception!

Kimpton Journeyman Hotel

Airbnb

Airbnb is another option for lodging. Look for a place in the Historic Third Ward or Walker's Point, they are neighborhoods surrounding the wedding venue. Bay View is also a nice neighborhood just a short drive away!

Travel

Lake Life

Spend some time along the shores of Lake Michigan! Milwaukee has a beautiful and extensive county park system. South Shore Park is a personal favorite.

Check out 'The Burg'

If you have a car, take a 30 minute drive to Cedarburg where TJ grew up. It's an idyllic and walkable small town with lots of cute shops and good food.
