This is the closest airport to Eau Claire but it is a small airport so flights may be more difficult to come by and more expensive than flying into MSP.

Things To Do

River Prairie Park

Front Porch Place, Altoona, WI 54720

Our celebration is taking place at the events center at River Prairie. There is a park and area for kids to play safely in shallow water (bring your swim suits!). You can also enjoy multiple restaurants, coffee shops, and the new wine bar. There may be events like music in the park and you can take a nice walk on the trail by the river. We highly recommend booking your hotel at the Staybridge where we have a room block because everything will be within walking distance :)

Eau Claire Downtown Farmers Market

300 Riverfront Terrace, Eau Claire, WI 54703

The farmers market is a hot spot on Saturdays in Eau Claire! Besides fresh produce, they usually have food trucks and local restaurants serve breakfast or lunch. Next to the market is an artists fair where you can shop local vendors. They usually have live music and fun activities for kids like balloon animals.

Children’s Museum of Eau Claire

126 North Barstow Street, Eau Claire, WI 54703

The Children's Museum is a brand new facility in Eau Claire located next to the Farmer's Market. Downtown Eau Claire also has a lot of cute shops like vintage clothing and locally made jewelry.

FAQs

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

Yes! Rory would love other kids to be at our celebration! We will have dancing that we hope the kids enjoy and River Prairie has a fantastic area for kids to play if you need to step away from the events center. Please specify in your RSVP how many kids will be joining so we can accommodate for dinner.

Question

Can I put in a special request for my meal?

Answer

Yes. Please let us know if you have any allergies or a gluten sensitivity.

Question

Is there a registry?

Answer

We do not have a wedding registry. Our hope is for our loved ones to join us for the weekend. If you feel obligated to send/bring a gift that is greatly appreciated but not expected!
