Travel Note
There are some free public parking lots available near the Fountain Square Theatre wedding/reception venue, but we encourage all guests to take the IndyGo buses (including RedLine), carpool, Uber/Lyft, or use taxis instead. Free public parking lots are available at the corner of Shelby and Morris Street behind the Forte Apts building, as well as a smaller public lot on Woodlawn Avenue, between Virginia Avenue and Shelby Street. All on-street parking is free, with a two hour restriction Monday – Friday from 9am – 6pm. The Goodwill Store (located at 1260 Shelby St, Indianapolis, IN 46203, two blocks south of Fountain Square Theatre) offers free parking for our guests on the north side of their parking lot. The east side of the parking lot is available for parking after 7pm every evening. Do not park in the Family Dollar lot on the north side of the Goodwill building—they will tow vehicles!

Hotel
This is a boutique hotel that is part of the same building where our wedding and reception venue is located. Holly's mom said the 4th floor duckpin bowling alley was audible when she stayed on the 3rd floor here a few years ago, so please be advised of this! You might want to bring earplugs or some other noise-blocking device so that you can get good sleep, especially if you're used to quiet suburban or rural surroundings. We do not have a discount code for this lodging option, but you can mention the Lester-Loper wedding to see if they'll provide any kind of special pricing.
