Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive around 5:30 and allow plenty of time for parking and finding the event space. Plan ahead for parking! The Loretto Chapel does not have public parking for guests or the wedding party. However, convenient public parking is available at the Archdiocese Lot on Cathedral Place or on Water Street. Alternatively, the Edward J. Lopez Land Office (310 Old Santa Fe Trail) offers free parking on weekends and is less than a five-minute walk away.

Our reception venue - the La Fonda on the Plaza has an attached parking garage, which can be accessed from San Francisco Street, and is $30 for the day. Metered street parking is also available, and public parking lots ($12 max. per day) can be found at the Water Street Municipal Lot, Railyard Municipal Garage, Sandoval Municipal Garage, Santa Fe Community Convention Center Municipal Garage, and Railyard Surface Municipal Lot.
