Montecito Ristorante owners' outdoor wedding will close traffic on Broadway Street in downtown Waukesha

Published on: 7/6/2012

Downtown Waukesha is home to many events these days, including the weekly Friday Night Live music series that closes the streets to traffic during the summer.

You can now add an outdoor wedding to the list.

New downtown business owners Dale Palkowski and Jennifer Clark, who own Montecito Ristorante Lounge, will tie the knot outside their restaurant on Wednesday.

Montecito Ristorante Lounge is located at 257 W. Broadway St.

Since the two have decided to have their wedding in the street, Clark said she has gotten a street closure permit to close the street to traffic from the Rotunda to the 5 Points from 2 to 8 p.m.

Two-hundred of the couple’s family and friends will attend the ceremony and the reception will be at the restaurant afterward.

Clark said many downtown business owners are invited.

The wedding is scheduled for 6 p.m. and Ald. Roger Patton, who represents constituents in the downtown area and is a retired minister, will preside over the wedding.

Clark said it’s fitting that Patton will oversee the ceremony since he was the first customer when the restaurant opened in December and comes in every Sunday.
