Holy Name Cathedral

The address of the parking garage is 14 W. Superior Street, between Dearborn and State Street, and is located below the tall tower of the new One Chicago Square complex.

You will enter on the two-way driveway on Superior and turn left to proceed down the ramp. Our entrance gate will be directly in front of you. Just pull a parking ticket and park in any non-reserved open space on Lower Level One (LL1) or Lower Level Two (LL2). Parking tickets can only be validated for free parking on the Cathedral Campus.

Are kids invited?

While we love your little ones, unfortunately there are many factors that lead us to the decision of an adults only ceremony+reception. We thank you for your understanding and hope arrangements can be made so you can celebrate with us!

May I bring a date?

We are at capacity with our venue, and are unfortunately unable to accommodate additional guests other than those listed on your invitation.
