The Basics
When and where is the wedding?
Saturday, September 4, 2027 at The Atrium, 3195 N Capitol Dr, Shorewood, WI. The ceremony begins at 5:00 PM — please arrive by 4:30 PM so you have time to park and find a seat.
Are kids invited?
We love your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives you a night off to relax with us.
When should I RSVP by?
Please RSVP by July 31, 2027 on our RSVP page. If we haven't heard from you by then, we'll have to count you as unable to attend.
Can I bring a plus-one?
Your invitation will list the names of everyone included in your party. If you're unsure or your plans change, just reach out and we'll do our best to accommodate.
What if my plans change after I RSVP?
Let us know as soon as you can. Final headcounts go to the venue two weeks out, so the earlier we hear, the easier it is.
What to Wear
What is the dress code?
Garden formal. Think elevated garden party — romantic dresses, flowing fabrics, sophisticated separates, and polished suits. Gentlemen are welcome to wear classic black.
Are there colors I should avoid?
Just white or ivory, please. Otherwise we'd love to see you in our palette of warm browns, muted rose, soft sage, and warm gold.
What shoes should I wear?
The ceremony and cocktail hour are outdoors on a rooftop terrace with garden stone underfoot. Block heels, wedges, or flats will be far more comfortable than stilettos.
Travel & Stay
Where should I stay?
We've reserved a room block at The Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee at a discounted rate through August 4, 2027. See the Travel page for the booking code and two other nearby options.
Is there transportation to the venue?
Yes. A shuttle will run from The Pfister to the ceremony and back on Saturday for guests staying at the hotel. Otherwise, Uber and Lyft are easy to find throughout the city.
Which airport should I fly into?
Milwaukee Mitchell International (MKE) is 20–25 minutes from the venue. Chicago O'Hare (ORD) is about an hour and fifteen minutes if the fares are better.
Is there parking at The Atrium?
Yes, and it's free. There's a lot behind the building, with additional street parking on Capitol Drive.
The Day Of
Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony and cocktail hour are outdoors on The Atrium's rooftop terrace garden. Dinner and dancing move inside. If the weather turns, everything moves indoors.
What time will the reception end?
The reception runs until our send-off at 11:30 PM. We'll point you toward a nearby spot if you'd like to keep the night going.
Will there be food and drinks?
Cocktail hour begins right after the ceremony at 5:30 PM, followed by a plated dinner with an open bar through the evening.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We'd love for you to be fully present, so we're asking for phones away during the ceremony. After that, take all the photos you want and share them with #thecaballeros.
What if I have a dietary restriction?
Note it on your RSVP and we'll pass it along to the venue. They can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals with advance notice.
Gifts & Everything Else
Are you registered anywhere?
We are — everything is on our Registry page, including a contribution fund for our honeymoon. Your presence is truly the gift, though.
Is there anything happening besides the wedding?
Yes! Join us for welcome drinks on Friday, September 3 at Camp Bar in Shorewood. Details are on the Weekend page.
Who can I contact with other questions?
