It is a special day indeed to celebrate your love with a wedding at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame. Then add to that a wedding reception in a space with a football stadium view making it all the more memorable. The Downes Club is a ballroom that directly overlooks the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football field, a highly sought after event location. Beyond the view, this space also offers a built-in pre-reception cocktail space in the hallway that spans its length.

While the venue may provide some items, couples often choose to make it their own by selecting rental items that enhance their theme or specific wedding vision, such as the gold Chiavari chairs, among other items, used in this wedding.
