Are there hotel accommodations for out-of-town guests?

Yes, we've secured a wedding room block at the Courtyard by Marriott South Bend Downtown. We highly recommend booking your room as soon as possible, as the hotel may fill up quickly.


Below is the reservation link:

Book your group rate for Sedore Soller Wedding


If you are having any difficulties with the reservation link, you can call the hotel directly at 574-237-7777 and give the mini-code SSWS.


If you're looking for other options, South Bend has many wonderful hotels. While you can find a full list on Visit South Bend, we suggest staying close to Downtown South Bend to be near most of the weekend's events.

When is the deadline to book a hotel room through the block?

While we would recommend you make your hotel reservation sooner rather than later, you can book your room through our block no later than July 3, 2026.

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

Our ceremony will be held at 1:00 PM at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the University of Notre Dame’s campus. The address is 101 Basilica Dr, Notre Dame, IN 46556.


Beginning at 5:00 PM, the cocktail hour and reception will be taking place at The Brick in South Bend, which is located at 1145 Northside Blvd, South Bend, IN 46615

When should I RSVP by?

Please kindly RSVP by June 5, 2026, so we can finalize our arrangements.

Is it okay to take pictures during the wedding ceremony?

Our ceremony will be part of a full Catholic Mass. Out of respect for the sanctity of the service, we kindly ask that you refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony. Our wonderful photographer will capture every moment, and we'll be happy to share those photos with you later. You are welcome to take pictures during the reception!

What will the weather be like?

Late July in Indiana can be quite warm and a bit humid. While all of our wedding events will be held indoors or under cover, we recommend bringing an umbrella or raincoat in case of light showers as you move between locations.

What should I wear?

Our wedding will be Black Tie Optional. We'd love for you to wear formal attire. This could be a tuxedo or a dark suit with a tie, a formal evening gown, a cocktail dress, or any other elegant ensemble that makes you feel great!

What should I do between the ceremony and cocktail hour?

You'll notice a brief gap in time between the ceremony and the start of cocktail hour. We encourage you to use this time however you wish! Whether you prefer a quick nap, an ice cream treat from Murphy's, or a drink at one of South Bend's local bars, the time is yours. We've put together a Guide to South Bend with all of our favorite South Bend spots for ideas throughout the weekend. You can also check out Visit South Bend for even more ideas.

How do I get to and from the wedding venues?

The University of Notre Dame campus is about a 25‑minute walk or an 8‑minute drive from the Courtyard by Marriott South Bend Downtown. If you’re traveling without a car, rideshares like Uber and Lyft are readily available.


We will provide complimentary bus transportation between the Courtyard Marriott and The Brick for guests attending the reception; buses will begin departing the hotel at 5:00 PM and run continuous loops until 10:30 PM.

Where can I park my car?

For the wedding ceremony, you can park in the Grotto Lot or St. Liam's Lot on campus; both are a short walk from the Basilica. For more information about campus parking, please visit police.nd.edu/parking-and-traffic/visitor-guest-parking/.


For the cocktail hour and reception at The Brick, there is ample parking available behind the venue.

What if I have food allergies or dietary restrictions?

If you have any specific dietary needs or allergy concerns, please email us at cseswedding@gmail.com so we can make arrangements.
