Where to Stay

There will be approximately 2 hours between the ceremony and reception! If you want to check out some of the bride and groom’s favorite local spots that are within walking distance of the reception here are some recommendations!

If you’re looking for something to do between the ceremony and rehearsal we are encouraging guests to meet up at Elroy’s! Elroy’s is a local sports bar where you can grab a drink, appetizer, and of course watch some college football. Elroy’s is a nine minute walk from our reception venue!

Elroy's

A local favorite of the groom! Bloomington spice works is a unique store located in downtown Bloomington which sells fresh spices. Tyler recommends the "Fry &amp; Burger Shakin's"! Bloomington Spice Works is a six minute walk from the reception venue!

Bloomington Spice Works

A local favorite of the bride! A quaint local coffee shop in the middle of downtown Bloomington. Dakota’s go-to drink is a Caramel Hazelnut Cold Brew. Coffee Hound is only a five minute walk from the reception venue!
