Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

Due to limited space, we hope you appreciate that children are only invited if named on the invitation and RSVP card.

Question

Will you be reserving a hotel block?

Answer

We are NOT reserving a hotel block. Hotel recommendations can be found in the travel tab, however each guest is responsible for booking their own hotel.

Question

Is there parking available at the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Ceremony - The Basilica does NOT have a parking lot. If choosing to park at the Basilica, there is a parking garage at 15 W Franklin Street (less than a block away). This garage is NOT free. Limited street parking may be available, but there are no guaranteed spots. Reception - There is a FREE parking garage with about 200 spaces located underneath The Center Club, which we have all to ourselves. The Center Club is on the 16th floor of the Legg Mason Building. Everything is within a 15-minute walking distance, so if you would like to park at the reception venue (The Center Club) and leave your car there all day, and walk to the Basilica, that is also an option.

Question

Can I park at the reception venue overnight?

Answer

Yes, you can! Feel free to park at the Center Club overnight and you will just need an ID to get back inside in the morning.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Transportation will NOT be provided. Guests will be responsible for their own transportation to the ceremony, reception, and hotels. Ubers are typically available downtown. Everything is within a 15-minute walking distance as well, if you choose to walk.

Question

Will anything take place outdoors?

Answer

The entire event will take place indoors, except for transporting between venues.

Question

If I am flying into town, what airport should I fly into?

Answer

We recommend flying into Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport, located about 20 minutes from the venue.

Question

Can I bring food or water into the basilica?

Answer

No food or drink other than water for the wedding party is permitted inside the Basilica.
