Below you'll find some detailed information about the transportation options between our ceremony and reception venues.

As a reminder, the ceremony starts promptly at 2 pm at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church (1 Lourdes Pl, Minneapolis, MN) and the reception is immediately following at Minneapolis Event Centers – Riverside Room (212 2nd St SE, Minneapolis, MN). These venues are 0.3 miles away from each other.

Below are the options for getting back and forth between these venues during our wedding day.

Option 1: Shuttle

You can take our provided shuttle. It is a private Northfield Lines shuttle and can be used for transportation before and after our ceremony. To use the shuttle, please park in the Saint Anthony Parking Garage (201 2nd St SE) across the street from the Minneapolis Event Centers no later than 1:30 pm. The cost to park is $8 for the full day.

Below is the shuttle schedule:

Option 2: Walk

We highly encourage walking along the Mississippi River on SE Main Street (also known as “St. Anthony Main”) as this is a beautiful walk and a great way to appreciate one of the most beautiful spots in Minneapolis. If you decide to walk, we recommend parking at the ramp across from Minneapolis Event Centers and either:

1. Riding the shuttle to the church (as mentioned in Option 1) and then walking back to the reception at Minneapolis Event Centers

2. Don’t use the shuttle and just walk from the parking ramp to the church and then walk back to the reception.

3. Use the Uber option (see Option 3) to bring you to the church and walk to the reception venue after.

See below for our recommended walking route between the ceremony and reception (the two venues are indicated by red pins, and the recommend route is the blue dotted line):
