Hotel Reservations



We have been having a little trouble with hotel reservations, but I think we have found the final combination of hotels! Above is the map between (A) Turtle Lake Resort and Casino, (C) Rice Lake and (B) our wedding venue, The Enchanted Barn.

St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake is the closest to the Enchanted Barn and is a nice option for people to stay. Unfortunately, they don't allow Mike and me to block rooms. Currently, April 27th, there are 100 rooms available. Call 800-782-9987 to make a reservation. The Standard rooms at $55/night Thursday and $67/night Friday and Saturday.  The Suites are $95/night Thursday and $120/night Friday and Saturday. The address is 777 Highway 8/63, Turtle Lake, WI 54889. http://turtlelake.stcroixcasino.com/hotel/accommodations.php

Microtel Inn and Suites in Rice Lake, WI has 15 rooms on hold. There are 9 double beds at $85/night Thursday and $93/night Friday,  and 6 single suits for $89/night Thursday and $97/night Friday.  Please call 715-736-2010 to make your reservation.  It is located at 2771 Decker Drive, Rice Lake, WI 54868 and is right off the highway.  http://www.microtelinn.com/hotels/wisconsin/rice-lake/microtel-inn-and-suites-rice-lake/hotel-overview


There will be a coach shuttle bus leaving St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake and heading to the wedding venue (The Enchanted Barn) in Hillsdale, WI and returning guests later that evening. Please email us if you need to be picked up from the Microtel or another location at saraaugi@gmail.com.


In addition, the plan is for the Augustine/Buck families to stay in Rice Lake and the Norseng/Stalle families to stay in Chippewa Falls. Contact Jo Ellen Augustine or Chris Norseng for specific information on the reservation details for the two families.

Save the Date


Welcome to our first wedding blog post. We thought this blog could be  a running post of updates, pertinent information and perhaps a joke post here or there.

We started the preparation and sent out our Save the Dates! Some didn't receive them though so let us know if you too missed the mailing. Mike and I are so happy about the impending marriage and are having a great time with making the little tid-bits. The first step, Save the Date. We posted some photos of the stamps as words are only so interesting. . .
