Parking Information
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Some parking lots downtown are privately owned and are not part of the City of Stillwater parking system, so rates and rules may vary. Always check the signs where you park before leaving your vehicle.
Parking information and rates listed here are based on current City of Stillwater guidelines and will be updated closer to the wedding. Please check back before the big day for the most up-to-date information!
PARKING AT LOFT 214
There are plenty of public parking options within walking distance of Loft 214 throughout downtown Stillwater. We recommend giving yourself a few extra minutes when you arrive to find a spot, especially on busy weekends.
PAID PUBLIC LOTS
For guests planning to stay for the entire celebration, one of Stillwater’s paid public lots will likely be the easiest option. City-owned paid surfaces (Lots 1-12) are currently $1 per hour from 10:00am to 10:00pm, with parking free after 10pm.
For our celebration beginning at 4:00pm, that means you can expect to pay $6 total if you park for the entire evening.
Parking can be paid using the Passport Parking app, Text-to-Park, or a nearby pay station. If needed, parking sessions can also be extended through the Passport app without leaving the celebration.
CITY PARKING RAMP
Stillwater also has a paid public parking ramp at 200 2nd Street N, approximately a few blocks from Loft 214. This is another great option for guests planning to stay for the full evening. Current rates and payment information will be updated here closer to the wedding.
FREE PARKING
Free parking is available throughout portions of downtown Stillwater, but most free spaces have time limits.
Main Street offers free 90-minute parking, which is great for a quick stop downtown but will not be long enough for the reception.
On-street spaces and designated public lots west of Main Street offer free four-hour parking. These can be a great option for guests spending a shorter amount of time downtown, but anyone planning to celebrate with us for the entire evening should use one of the longer-term paid options instead.
