Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! Parking at Villanova University Church is at the base of the bridge on the opposite side of Lancaster Avenue. There is also limited parking on campus next to the church. In order to access this parking, please enter campus on Spring Mill Road and ask the guard shack for directions to the church. Parking at the Loch Aerie Mansion is plentiful! When you arrive on the property, you will see spots directly in front and to the right side of the venue.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotel to the ceremony?

Answer

For transportation to and from Villanova University Church, we are not offering a standard shuttle for guests. However, if you are in town without a car or means of transportation, please fill out this survey to get access to an Uber/Lyft voucher to help with the cost of celebrating with us! https://forms.gle/Yy8ER3e81H1qeesp6 For transportation to and from the Loch Aerie Mansion, a small shuttle van will be operating at the beginning and end of the reception to help guests get back and forth from the Hampton Inn (the preferred hotel). See Travel tab for more detailed information.
