FAQs

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Holy Name Cathedral: The parking at Holy Name Cathedral is free. The address of the parking garage is 14 W. Superior Street, between Dearborn and State Street, and is located below the tall tower of the new One Chicago Square complex on Lower Level One and Lower Level Two. Validation is available in the Cathedral Vestibule. The Warwick Allerton: The Spot Hero app is highly recommended. Valet parking at the Warwick is $35 for wedding day. For overnight guests, the valet rate is $72/night. If you are flying in, we recommend taking the train into the city and using Uber during your time downtown rather than renting a car.
