Response from the couple:
Lori--

We didn't run into parking issues as we were married when Lehigh was on spring break, but I asked my husband who is the one that went to Lehigh, and he thinks that there will be a lot more street parking on the weekend than you see during the week. Plus there are two parking garages within walking distance. I would say to have the men drop the women off in front of the church so they wouldn't have to walk a couple blocks in heels, but it is very doable. There is the university parking garage down the street on Packer next to Zoellner Arts Center, and then there is a public parking garage that is on Morten. It's either between Brodhead and Vine or Vine and New Streets. I can't remember which, but it's only 2 blocks. I do think most of your guests will be able to park on the street without much hassle. That wouldn't be a deciding factor for me. We LOVE the church, pictures turned out awesome. I am very glad we had it there.

FYI--if you do decide to have it there, if you haven't chosen a rehersal dinner place and are going to have that, keep in mind the Goosey Gander right there on Vine and 4th Street. It has a beautiful room above the deli and wonderful catering. We had ours there which everyone could walk from the church, or have them park in the public parking garage--which is half a block from it. It was awesome. The room is actually large enough to house a small wedding--we would have considered it for our wedding, but we had a bit too many people. It is very reasonable compared to other restaurants we looked at--great food. You just need to talk to the owner of the deli. We just used the catering again for our daughter's baptism--awesome. It's worth checking out and so convenient to the church.

Good luck--Melissa
