Yes! We have a hotel block at two different hotels: The Courtyard South Bend Downtown and The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel South Bend. Find hotel details, contact information, and direct links to our room block on our "Travel" page that can be found in our menu!
Oooo la la! Please check your invitation and/or our online RSVP page to see if you are permitted a plus one. While we’d love to have your guests attend, we want to keep the wedding as intimate as possible with only a limited number of guests. Thank you for understanding our wishes!
Please arrive to the church no later than 12:45 PM. IMPORTANT NOTE: Based on church guidelines, if you arrive late you will not be permitted entry until after the first scripture reading.
Please use the main campus entrance located on Holy Cross Drive (if you type in "Hammes Bookstore" on google maps, you will be brought to this gate). If asked, let the security guard know you are attending the "Flynn-Ventimiglia" wedding at the Basilica. Follow the road for roughly one mile until you reach the "A1" parking lot.
Short answer: yes. Long answer: we ask that you be respectful to our ceremony and use good judgement (reception is fair game!). We have given our photographer and videographer permission to kindly ask guests to stop taking pictures or video if it interferes with their work. However, if you do take pictures throughout the day, please use the hashtag #ventiventi so we can save them!
Parking is located on site- both the upper and lower lot are available for guests. However, please be sure to enter using the main entrance located on the lower level of the building.
We have a few hours in between the end of our ceremony and reception. Feel free to check out the "Things To Do" page on our menu or grab a quick cat-nap in your hotel and prepare for a long night of dancing!
Unfortunately, there are no shuttles from the hotels. However, things change so feel free to ask upon arrival!
Yes! Please let us know if you will need wheel chair access for the ceremony as we will need to request special parking permission. For the reception venue, please be sure to park or drop off at the main entrance of the facility.
