FAQs

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Holy Name Cathedral: The parking at Holy Name Cathedral is free with validation for the ceremony. 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- there are multiple garages within a few blocks of both the hotel and the cathedral, and Spot Hero has the best rates. 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.
