Your Guide to Parking & Arrival at The Bridge Lemont

We know wedding days (and rehearsal dinners, and setup mornings!) come with enough excitement — finding parking shouldn’t be one of them. 

Here’s a quick and easy guide to make your arrival at The Bridge Lemont totally stress-free.

The Best Option: River Road Parking Garage

Address: 320 River Road, Lemont, IL 60439
Directions: From Stephen Street, you’ll pass The Bridge, turn left onto River Road, and the garage will be on your left after about 0.1 miles.

This is the most convenient and reliable parking option for The Bridge Lemont. With over 250 spaces, it’s just a short and easy walk to our front doors — perfect for wedding guests, vendors unloading decor, or couples arriving for their big day.

Pro Tip: Before you arrive, watch our quick walkthrough video to see the exact route from the parking garage to The Bridge. It’s the easiest way to familiarize yourself with the walk, especially if you’re carrying items or wearing heels.

You’ll find the video and map linked right on our website — so you can pull it up on your phone as you park and follow along for a smooth arrival.
