Wedding Weekend Accommodations
A. Ceremony & Reception Parking
Ceremony Parking will be available at the Basilica. However, we suggest carpooling as spaces are limited.
Guests driving themselves will be allowed to park in the Grotto or St. Liam’s lots as long as space is available. Alternative parking is located along St. Mary’s Road.
A campus map can be viewed at map.nd.edu.
Handicapped parking is available for cars with ADA placards in the Grotto Lot, St. Liam’s lot and off Sorin Circle. Please use appropriately marked spots. Anyone dropping off a guest with a disability is invited to drive the guest to one of our two ADA entrances. Guests can be dropped at Sorin Circle and use the ADA entrance on the east side of the Basilica or may be dropped at the front of the Basilica and use the ADA entrance on the south side of the Basilica.
Reception Parking will be available at the Main & Colfax Garage right next to the venue as well as at your hotels. Please plan on walking or getting dropped off from your hotel if you are planning on drinking that evening.
