Wedding Party

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.

Our Story

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) — recommendedFlying 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) — alternativeChicago 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).

Getting to Milwaukee

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.

Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel

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.

Places to Stay

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 <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/P6SMSKBfhVZPmLv19" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

Culture & Museums

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.

Milwaukee Art Museum

A uniquely Milwaukee experience — part history, part design, part American icon. Great even if motorcycles aren’t usually your thing.

Harley-Davidson Museum®

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.

Historic Third Ward (Art Galleries)

Coffee spots

A local favorite — grab a coffee by the lake if the weather cooperates. There are multiple locations downtown if you’re short on time.

Colectivo Coffee Lakefront

Brunch & Food

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.
