There are also two first-class hotels on site allowing your guests to simply relax and enjoy the experience without the hassle of traveling from place to place all over town.

Both the Hilton Garden Inn and The Inn at Saint Mary's offer additional options to make your experience even more joyous. The Inn at Saint Mary's beautiful staircase is a favorite spot for photographers and Bistro 933 is located in the lobby of the Hilton Garden Inn.

The Gillespie Center is also located on the campus of Saint Mary's College and is in walking distance to the University of Notre Dame, providing easy access to either campus for destination weddings.
