Our wedding is a weekend event at Stout's Island Lodge from Friday, August 29th, 2025, to Sunday, August 31st, 2025. Guests are welcome to join us starting Friday to enjoy the entire weekend of activities, relaxation, and celebration.

If you can't stay for the entire weekend, you can also choose to attend just the Saturday ceremony and reception on August 30th, 2025. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

To reach the parking lot, use the address 2799 27th Street, Birchwood, WI 54817. From there, follow the gravel path to the Shore House waiting area and dock, where the ferry will pick you up. For convenience, we recommend entering "Stout's Island Lodge" into your GPS instead of the address.

The ferry will transport guests to and from the island. The Stout's Island Lodge ferry leaves the island for the shore 10 minutes to the hour, arrives at the Shore House Dock on the hour, and then returns to the island. Ferry hours are from 7:50 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, and each ferry can hold 10 passengers.

Please arrive at the ferry dock 15-30 minutes early to ensure timely transport to the island.

NOTE: A special ferry schedule will be provided and listed on the wedding day.

Visit our dress code page for everything you need to know.

The dress code is 60s & 70s-inspired island chic, blending elegant and semi-formal attire with a relaxed, tropical vibe and a retro, free-spirited twist. Think flowy dresses, linen pants, wide-leg silhouettes, vintage-inspired prints, lightweight fabrics, and comfortable shoes suited for an outdoor island setting.

We've added a personal touch with a color code. The invitations will specify the designated colors for each guest's attire. We encourage everyone to incorporate their assigned colors into their outfits!

The ceremony and reception will take place outdoors, weather permitting.

We suggest bringing a light jacket or shawl for the evening.

WEDDING DAY

The reception will include a full dinner and beverages, as well as a cocktail hour. Guests can also enjoy s'mores, desserts, and late-night snacks. Come hungry and ready to indulge!

ENTIRE WEEKEND

We'll provide food for our guests throughout the weekend, including breakfast, snacks, meals, and beverages. You'll be well-fed and ready to enjoy all the festivities from Friday to Sunday. Relax, celebrate, and savor the delicious offerings!

BRING YOUR OWN FOOD & DRINKS (OPTIONAL)

Some of the cabins feature kitchens and grills, and a few include small refrigerators, allowing guests to bring food and beverages into their private rooms. However, due to liquor licenses and food operating permits, outside food and drinks are prohibited in common areas, including the lawns, recreation areas, boathouse, and Great Room.

If you haven’t RSVP’d yet, today is the day. We’re finalizing our headcount soon and really don’t want to miss you on the guest list. RSVP now!

Please review Stout's Island Lodge's resort policies before arriving on the island.
