Too soon to talk Valentine’s Day? Not if you want to get married at Lakefront Brewery, 1872 N. Commerce St. The brewery will offer free weddings on Feb. 14 for anyone over 21 with a marriage license.

Weddings will include two free pints of beer for the ceremony, a six-pack, two Lakefront Brewery T-shirts and Lakefront cookies to take home.

Lakefront will provide six officiants who also happen to be tour guides, allowing couples to book weddings every 15 minutes from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Already married? Mass vow renewals will be conducted by Lakefront owner and president Russ Klisch at 12:30 and 6 p.m.
