WILLOW AND HANS
Wedding Ceremony and Reception
September 6, 2025 | 2 - 6pm
1715 Viola Rd. NE, Rochester MN 55906
Getting There
MSP to Rochester
Rochester is about 80 minutes from MSP by car, and there is an hourly shuttle service provided by Groome which will stop downtown.
The schedule can be found on their website
(they leave 15 minutes after the hour from Terminal 1).
For those arriving at about 10:30 to 11:00 am on Saturday, we can arrange to pick you up. Please let us know in advance,
otherwise we will assume you have other plans.
There is no parking at the house, so there is a free shuttle:
- Please park downtown (meters and garages are free on weekends)
- There will be a black "Star Transportation" van that will pick people up from the
Hilton Rochester Mayo Clinic Area
(10 E Center St, Rochester, MN 55904) from 1-2pm. Note that there are two Hiltons, about 3 blocks apart.
- The same service will bring people back downtown from 5:30 to 7:30pm.
Dress Code
Come as you are! There are no formal requirements for dress. Be aware, this is taking place outside
on a gravel driveway, so we recommend dressing appropriately in case it's sunny or cool. The driveway surface is
uneven - we'll have heel protectors, but outdoor shoes may be more comfortable.
