Guests may park in the smaller lots closest to the Basilica—specifically the Grotto Lot and Lyons Lot.

A drop-off area is also available directly in front of the Basilica entrance for those who need it. A campus map can be viewed at map.nd.edu.

Doors will open at the Basilica at 2:30 pm. It is recommended that you are seated by 2:50 as the ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00.

Question

Where should I park for the Reception?

Answer

The reception venue is an eight-minute drive from the ceremony and is located directly next to the hotel block. If you are staying at the hotel, we recommend utilizing the provided lot so that you will not need to move your vehicle after the reception. Additionally, there is a public parking garage (Main & Colfax Garage) across from the reception venue.
