The big day is getting closer! If you’re going to our wedding and want to know more about the area or where to stay the night of the rehearsal and reception look no further. Invitations will be out soon however some people want to start booking rooms now.
Rehearsal Dinner- Thursday August 1st at ????
Time is TBD. Rehearsal will be at Bayshore Grove in Oswego and dinner will be at Vona’s Italian Restaurant.
Things to do in the area
If you’re staying Thursday night, the wedding is not until 5 P.M the next day. Oswego is a really beautiful place, especially in the summer. There are a number of local bars and restaurants in the area. Don’t miss Rudy’s if you’re looking for a great place to have lunch!
It’s right on the lake!
Greene’s is a great place to grab a drink or lunch if you like a bar scene.
Old City is my favorite Oswego Bar, right on the water as well.
If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy the beautiful weather (because it WILL BE NICE OUT), you can check out Breitbeck Park.
Accommodations for Thursday and Friday:
We booked rooms in two hotels in the city of Oswego for Thursday August 1st and Friday August 2nd.
This hotel had a lower rate. This is the one we’re staying in. They have a bar, Steamer’s, downstairs so we can come back for the after party! Rooms are pretty standard, nothing fancy.

2. Best Western Captain’s Quarters
This hotel had a little bit higher rate. It is a little nicer and has a pool.

Just ask for the Burgwin/Haskins wedding. These hotels are in the city of Oswego. Our actual wedding and reception is a few miles outside of Oswego, on the lake near the Nine Mile nuclear plant (romantic, I know).
Distance between wedding and reception
Our wedding will be at 5 PM and the cocktail hour will start immediately after in the same area.
We will have a shuttle bus for guests starting about an hour before the reception and running after the reception to get you back to your hotel safely. If you drive to the reception you can leave your car there and pick it up in the morning.
Of course after the reception we plan on continuing the party in the city! So get ready!!! I am more than ready for this day to be here! Hope you are as excited as I am! If you have any questions please feel free to leave me a comment even if you don’t have a WordPress account.
What a great place for a wedding! (And to live!) I can’t believe I’ll be all moved back to Oswego in less than a month!
Love Oswego!!
Did you go to school there?
Yep!
