Our Story
An Unexpected Variable
We got to know each other in moments that were anything but relaxed — long days, high pressure, and conversations that skipped small talk entirely. Somewhere between solving problems under stress and decompressing afterward, a friendship formed. Turns out stress is an excellent compatibility test. What followed was the quiet realization that we actually preferred navigating life together — even when things were intense.
Despite growing up in different parts of the world, we were genuinely surprised (and slightly amused) by how much we had in common — values, humor, curiosity, and a shared appreciation for good food and well-earned downtime. London became the backdrop where it all took shape: our home base, our proving ground, and the city where this unexpected story became something very real. Now, as we get ready to marry in Milwaukee and begin our next chapter in the U.S., we’re excited for what comes next — still a little surprised, and very grateful.

Getting to Milwaukee
Flying from within the U.S.
The most convenient airport is Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE).
It’s a short drive from downtown and offers direct flights from many major U.S. cities. If you’re flying domestically, this will likely be your easiest option.
Flying internationally
Milwaukee (MKE) — recommended
Flying into Milwaukee typically requires a connection through a major U.S. hub (e.g., Minneapolis, New York, or Atlanta), but it’s the easiest option once you arrive and closest to downtown.
Chicago (ORD) — alternative
Chicago O’Hare offers the widest range of nonstop international flights. From there, Milwaukee is easy to reach by train (90 minutes) or car (about 1.5 hours without traffic).
Places to Stay
Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel
We’ve reserved a room block at Saint Kate, a modern, art-forward hotel in the heart of downtown Milwaukee.
Expect thoughtfully designed spaces, a lively atmosphere, and easy access to the city’s restaurants, museums, and nightlife.
Transportation to and from all wedding events will be provided from Saint Kate, so you can relax and enjoy the weekend without worrying about logistics.
The Trade, Autograph Collection
We’ve also secured a room block at The Trade, a modern hotel located in Milwaukee’s Deer District, right next to Fiserv Forum.
It’s a great option for guests who enjoy a lively atmosphere, newer accommodations, and being steps away from restaurants, bars, and downtown energy — especially with basketball season in full swing and the Milwaukee Bucks playing at home.
Things to Do in Milwaukee
We know the wedding weekend will be full, but if you find a little free time, here are some of our favorite ways to experience Milwaukee — from culture and coffee to classic Wisconsin drinks.
You can explore the full list here.
Culture & Museums
Milwaukee Art Museum
An iconic Milwaukee landmark designed by Santiago Calatrava (Spanish architect and structural engineer). Even a short visit is worth it for the lakefront views and architecture alone.
Harley-Davidson Museum®
A uniquely Milwaukee experience — part history, part design, part American icon. Great even if motorcycles aren’t usually your thing.
Historic Third Ward (Art Galleries)
The Third Ward is home to several modern and contemporary art galleries, many of them clustered within walking distance. There are also guided gallery walks and art-focused tours if you’re interested in something more curated.
Coffee spots
Colectivo Coffee Lakefront
A local favorite — grab a coffee by the lake if the weather cooperates. There are multiple locations downtown if you’re short on time.
Brunch & Food
1033 Omakase お任せ
If you’re looking to do one standout dinner while you’re in town, this is it. 1033 Omakase is an intimate Japanese tasting experience and was recently nominated for a James Beard Award — easily one of the most exciting reservations in Milwaukee right now.
Best for a Friday night dinner — plan ahead, as reservations are limited.
Cassis
A new French bistro generating a lot of buzz — ideal for a relaxed brunch or lunch if you’re nearby.
Milwaukee Public Market
A must-visit for first-timers. Lots of options under one roof, perfect if everyone wants something different.
Onesto
A cozy Italian spot in the Historic Third Ward, perfect for a relaxed brunch or lunch. A great option if you’re already exploring galleries nearby and want something warm, comforting, and unfussy.
Café Benelux
A lively European-style brasserie in the Historic Third Ward, known for its rooftop, brunch classics, and relaxed atmosphere. Great for a casual late breakfast or brunch if you’re exploring the neighborhood.
Black Sheep MKE
A laid-back neighborhood favorite with great brunch options and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Ideal if you want something casual, comforting, and easy before heading into the rest of the day.
(Very Milwaukee) Drinks
The Wicked Hop
Famous for Bloody Marys that come with… snacks. Consider this a full experience, not just a drink.
Kimpton Journeyman Hotel
Head to the hotel bar for a great spot for Old Fashioneds — the Wisconsin way.
Brewery Tours
Milwaukee is a beer city through and through. If you’re interested in seeing a classic (or craft) side of the city, these brewery tours are well worth checking out — whether you’re a beer lover or just curious.
Miller Brewery Tour
A true Milwaukee institution and one of the most historic breweries in the U.S. The tour is a great way to experience the city’s brewing legacy firsthand.
Lakefront Brewery
A local favorite known for its fun, informal tours and great beer. Easygoing, entertaining, and very Milwaukee.
Third Space Brewing
A modern craft brewery with a relaxed taproom vibe. A great option if you’re looking for something casual and less tour-focused, but still very local.
Games & Events
Milwaukee Bucks
If the Bucks are playing at home during the weekend, catching a game at Fiserv Forum is a fun way to experience Milwaukee’s energy — especially for first-time visitors.
The Pabst Theater
A historic Milwaukee venue that regularly hosts stand-up comedians, concerts, and touring acts. If something fun is in town while you’re visiting, this is a great spot to check for an evening show.
Late Night Energy
Potawatomi Casino Hotel | Milwaukee
For those who still have energy after late drinks, Potawatomi Casino is a classic Milwaukee move. Think of it as the unofficial “one last stop” — easy to pop in, see where the night takes you, and fully lean into a local tradition.
