Ceremony

First Unitarian Society of Madison
900 University Bay Drive
Madison, WI 53705

The Unitarian Church has two spaces that host ceremonies – the older Frank Lloyd Wright Meeting House, and the new Auditorium. Our wedding will be held in the new Auditorium which is located to the left of the parking lot. The picture below shows you where to enter.

Parking

The ceremony location is a couple of blocks north of (up a hill from) University Avenue, across the street from the back of the Veterans Hospital and across from the entrance to the American Family Children's Hospital. The church has an adjoining parking lot. In the unlikely instance that it is full, you may park one street to the south of the lot on Marshall Court. We recommend coming a little early so that you can ensure you get a good parking spot.

Cocktail Hour / Reception

Wisconsin Institute for Discovery
330 N. Orchard St.
Madison, WI 53715

The Cocktail Hour and Reception are being held at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID) on the campus of UW-Madison. WID is located on the corner of University Avenue and Orchard Street, and is between Campus Drive and University Avenue.

Parking

Free parking is available at the UW-Madison Parking Lot 20. This parking lot is available on University Avenue, just prior to the intersection of University with Randall Avenue. After you park at Lot 20, walk across University Avenue. You will be standing on the intersection of University Avenue and Randall Avenue, and the Institute for Discovery will be directly in front of you.

In the unlikely instance that parking at UW-Madison Parking Lot 20 is unavailable, you may also park at Union South, a pay lot. Union South is located across Campus Drive from the Institute for Discovery. You may enter this parking lot via Dayton Street.
