Ceremony
9:00 am - 10:00 am
1 Basilica Dr, Notre Dame, IN 46556
Attire suggestions: We're flexible! I'm sure guys will wear a mix of tuxes, suits, and khakis/dress shirt and women cocktail or longer dresses -- it's all good!
The wedding mass will start exactly at 9 a.m., with music beginning at 8:45 a.m., so plan to arrive around 8:45-8:50 a.m. Since the Basilica holds 3 weddings per weekend, things start and end precisely on time :). Sorry it's so early, but we've heard the morning sunshine makes it especially beautiful! Parking: Option 1: Park at the bookstore (Eck Visitors Center, 1 N Notre Dame Ave) and walk (10-15 mins) to the Basilica (map.nd.edu). Option 2: Enter through the gate near the bookstore and tell them you are going to the Letteri-Paolucci 9 a.m. wedding at the basilica. Drive around until you hit St. Mary’s Road (the road and lakes are on your left, the grotto will be to your right). Drive a little further and you can park in either the Grotto Lot and St. Liam’s lots. If these lots happen to be full, parking is also allowed along St. Mary’s Rd. From St. Mary’s Road or the parking lots, walk up the sidewalk that leads to the Golden Dome, and the basilica will be on your right.
Reception
3:00 pm - 8:00 pm
South Bend, IN 46601
Attire Suggestions: We're flexible! I'm sure guys will wear a mix of tuxes, suits, and khakis/dress shirt and women cocktail or longer dresses -- it's all good! There will be dancing, so plan shoes accordingly :).
Note that if you decide to drive to the reception and wish to uber home, that is totally fine - you are allowed to leave your car in the lot overnight! Cocktail hour at 3, wedding party introductions at 4, dinner served around 4:30 p.m., followed by toasts, cake, and dancing. Ample parking is available on site, but it is also a quick 5-10 min uber ride from locations close to campus.
