Wedding Party

We recommend reserving lodging early - our wedding coincides with a busy travel season in Albert Lea - rooms are filling up fast! We have blocks of rooms available at Best Western and Comfort Inn, but they only hold those rooms until the first week of July.

Just tell them you're part of the Buscho/Wensel Wedding block. 2-bed (Queen size) or 1-bed (King Size) rooms available.

Best Western Plus Albert Lea I-90/I-35 Hotel

Block reserved under Chord Buscho. 2-bed (Queen size) and 1-bed (King size) rooms available.

The 15 Best Places to Buy a Suit

We’re going semi-formal for our wedding. Please avoid jeans, workout clothes, or sneakers—think dress pants or chinos, summer dresses, skirts, button-downs, and blazers. Light fabrics and comfortable shoes are recommended for an outdoor-friendly spring/summer vibe. If you’re unsure, smart casual with a polished touch is a safe choice. Thank you for dressing to celebrate with us—Marissa &amp; Chord
