All guests driving straight to the church are encouraged to use the available parking lot located at the intersection of N. Liberty Street and W Saratoga Street; it is a street level parking lot with a sign that says “Charles Center Parking . The street address is: 227 Liberty Street (“Charles Parking”)(East side) – it is a small outdoor lot, located one block away and around the corner from the church which is at 114 W. Saratoga Street.”

This lot has been rented for only the ceremony; after our wedding there will be another so please remember to move your car. Additional parking can be located by entering the following phrase into google maps: “parking loc: 114 West Saratoga Street, Baltimore, MD 21201-3592 (St Alphonsus Church & Shrine).

All guests driving straight to the reception can use roadside parking or nearby public parking lots. Entering the following phrase into google maps: “parking loc: 111 W Mt Vernon Pl Baltimore, Maryland 21201” will show nearby lots.

We encourage guests staying at local hotels to use taxis as the church and reception venue are within a 1.5/2 mile radius of the Inner Harbor.

Wedding Party Hotel:

The wedding party will be staying at the Hitlon Baltimore – 401 West Pratt Street Baltimore, Maryland, USA, 21201, 1-443-573-8700.

Below are the Hilton’s booking instructions if you would like to join the group rate (spaces are filling up very fast due the Preakness Horse Races:

Call the main Hilton Reservation number: 1-800-445-8667, state the dates you are arriving/leaving and quote the group code: “DEB”. …”DEB”…not case sensitive.The negotiated rate is $189.00. Depending on availability, you may be able to choose from a king or a two double bed room. For ballpark views the rate may increase.

Other Options:

I suggest checking out www.Hotels.com, for those of you who plan to stay in the city but cannot get a room inthe Hilton.  The Sheraton and the Radisson are very near to the Hilton. For cheaper options, look toward the hotels near BWI airport. BWI is only 9 miles from the church and venue and cabs should be plentiful in both directions.

We look forward to seeing you all!

Love,

Mark and Judy
