Host Your Wedding at The University of Notre Dame

From the tulips that line Notre Dame Avenue, to the glistening of the Golden Dome of Main Building, the University of Notre Dame is the perfect location to host a wedding. The University of Notre Dame is home to several different wedding reception venues, including those within a AAA Four Diamond hotel, and other spaces which overlook the historic field of Notre Dame Stadium.
