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.

Downes Club at Corbett Family Hall

Kick off your reception on the eighth floor balcony area of Hank Family Forum, where guests will be able to enjoy cocktails all while taking in the views of both campus and the iconic Notre Dame Stadium. Your party will then move down to Downes Ballroom on the seventh floor, to enjoy the fantastic club space and reception venue, which also includes two terraces that give your guests a chance to enjoy the outdoor views of campus and the South Bend skyline. Downes Club has a capacity of 280 guests.
