"Everything went so smoothly--can't honestly think of anything that went wrong. The venue was absolutely beautiful, the food was great, and all the vendors were so professional."

Go big or go home with this stunning northern Indiana venue! Located on Notre Dame's campus, VenueND offers a dozen indoor spaces that are flexible to fit a wedding or reception. Between hosting flag football games on the field at Notre Dame Stadium and photo opportunities on the field for the bridal party, this venue promises an event you'll remember! Read on to see why Amber Kirk, VenueND Wedding Sales Specialist, believes VenueND is the right place to book your wedding.

Please tell us a little more about VenueND.

"VenueND is the office on campus at the University of Notre Dame which books wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, farewell brunches, and hotel room blocks at the AAA Four Diamond Morris Inn, as well as other memorable experiences. With more than a dozen venues on campus for wedding weekend events, VenueND has a variety of space available for a group of any size and any budget."

What sets you apart from others? Why should a bride choose you?

"Wedding receptions held on campus provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for couples and their guests, and unlike other venues, we provide a one-stop-shop for all wedding weekend activities. Weddings on campus are not just for Notre Dame alums. The event space is open to anyone who wants to host an unforgettable event. The sweeping views of campus in our event spaces, including the Dahnke Ballroom and Downes Club overlooking Notre Dame Stadium, are unmatched. And, VenueND provides more than just the location for the wedding reception. We can host flag football games on the field at Notre Dame Stadium for groomsmen, or photo opportunities on the field for the bridal party. Our office can also book hotel rooms at the Morris Inn, making it easy for guests to enjoy a farewell brunch in Morris Inn's Private Dining Rooms. Our culinary teams at both Morris Inn and University Catering are best-in-class and have the ability to craft a menu perfectly tailored to each and every couple."

What inspires you to be in the wedding industry?

"I have been in customer service/hospitality for more than twenty years and love that my day-to-day work life is ever-changing with the people I meet, the relationships I make, and the events that are planned. When I talk to a couple, or tour them around campus, I get a feel of what might be the right venue for them. Notre Dame really has something for anybody, no matter your style."

What do you love most about working with couples?

"I love being a part of the proposals. Sometimes the men will call and secure a date for their reception venue before the proposal, and it’s fun to be a part of the surprise."
