An additional lot is found on Wisconsin and 16th St. Please note it is a few blocks from campus so please plan accordingly.

Question
Is there parking at the Reception?
Answer
There is ample parking at the Western Lake Golf Course. Please note that they ask to have all cars removed by the end of the night. Please get home safely and plan ahead if need be.
Question
What is the best way to get from the Ceremony to the Reception?
Answer
We recommend driving between due to the couple of hour gap between the ceremony and the reception that we will be taking photos with, this gives you time to stop for a pint, to walk around Marquette's beautiful campus, or make your way to the beaches of lake Michigan and enjoy the views. We are recommending most people to stay in the suburbs of Milwaukee (Brookfield, Waukesha, Pewaukee, Delafield, etc.) as it makes for the shortest drive at the end of the night.
