Hilton Milwaukee

This is the flagship Marriott in the area, located directly across from The Pfister Hotel. It’s ideal for those who want to stay in the heart of downtown with easy access to attractions like the Milwaukee Art Museum and the riverfront. We do NOT have a room block at this hotel. However, it is another great option! Please note transportation will not be provided from this hotel; however, it is only a 5 minute walk to The Pfister!

Ryan is one of our favorite people. I have loved getting to watch him grown up, and Mitch and I feel so lucky that he is officiating our wedding. We know he's going to crush it!

Also, listen to his radio show!

Lynn and I have known each other our entire lives. Though I am an only child, I always tell people I grew up with a sister. From family vacations to sleepovers, to morning cartoons before school, Lynnie was always there.

Sarah is my cousin. She is my go to Facetime call. I can always count on her to have some tea to spill. She is an iconic queen who I am lucky to call not only a friend, but also family.

Natalie and I have known each other since we were six. From elementary school and on, we stayed friends. We have been through so many walks of life together, and I cannot wait to have her by my side!

Natalie Cortez

Mike and I have also known each other since we were six. He was always the classmate I had funny stories to come home and tell mom and dad about. He has been such a light in my life, I am so grateful for him!

Ellie and I met at ISU in 2015. Even though she transferred to the (inferior) ISU, we kept in touch. I love our Chicago outings, and can always count on her to talk about Harry Styles with me.

Grace is Mitch’s sister and my soon-to-be sister in law. I love that we both love the Sims, Tik Tok, and Moana. She always makes me laugh. I can’t wait for her to be my sister! 

Grace Hovorka

Anna is Mitch’s older sister. She is one of the coolest people I know; I always tell Mitch I want to “take cool pics like Anna.” I love that we have such a similar love in music and that we’ve gotten to go to concerts together! I can’t wait to have her as a big sister! 

Anna Kelley

Sloane is Mitch’s god daughter and my future niece! She is so special to us; we love any time we get to spend with her. We love playing with her, reading books with her, and spoiling her! She is the very best and we love her so much.

Zach and I met the first day of three year old preschool and have been best friends since. I had the chance to serve as Zach's best man and now he gets to be mine.

Kyle and I met the first day of high school in the first class we ever had. We went on to be roommates in college. I had the pleasure of being one of Kyles groomsmen at their wedding in Ireland last year.
