The Wedding Website of Melissa Schleicher and Sam Park
Here is information for our out-of-town guests. Oktoberfest is happening in Galena the weekend of our wedding so BOOK NOW for hotels, as most have a generous cancellation policy if you are unable to join us for our day. Galena also has a number of charming bed and breakfast inns we would recommend researching for the full Galena experience. The closest regional airport is Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at approximately 2 hours away. The largest international airport is Chicago's O'Hare International at around 3 hours from Galena. Midway International Airport is also located in Chicago, but is the furthest away at a little over three hours. All airports have rental car services available.
