We’re so thrilled you’ve agreed to brave the Cambridge roads to witness our marriage! One thing you won’t need to worry about: finding parking. We have arranged for parking to be provided in the underground garage at 52 Oxford St.
To get there, use the parking office’s directions below. (Most GPS systems will lead you to the wrong corner of this building, so use these from JFK St.)
Directions to the 52 Oxford Street Garage
From Points North, South and the Downtown Boston Area:
Take either Storrow Dr or Memorial Dr West (Towards Cambridge/Newton). Exit right at the Harvard Square/Cambridge exit onto JFK St. If you are on Storrow, you will be crossing the Anderson Bridge over the Charles River, before you reach JFK St. If you are traveling on Memorial Dr, you will turn directly onto JFK St. See below for directions from JFK.
From Points West:
Take either Storrow Dr or Memorial Dr East (towards Downtown Boston). If you are on Storrow Dr, you must exit right at the Harvard Square/Allston exit, and then take your first left, crossing the Anderson Bridge over the Charles River, before you reach JFK Street. If you are on Memorial Drive, turn left at the Harvard Square/Cambridge signed exit directly onto JFK Street.
Once on JFK Street, you travel straight through 3 sets of lights (not including the set at the intersection of Memorial Dr and JFK St). You should pass the Harvard Coop and Nini’s Corner Newsstand on your left, and on your right you will see the Harvard Square Out of Town Ticket/Newsstand (the “Kiosk”). At the next set of lights (located directly in front of Johnston Gate, the main entrance to Harvard Yard), bear left to continue on Massachusetts Ave heading towards Porter Square. Take your first right onto Everett St. Proceed to the end of Everett (set of lights). Directly in front of you, across Oxford St, will be a guard booth. Stop there and tell the guard you are attending the Madden-Rainie Wedding at Mem Church, and s/he will show you where to park.
From the garage, it’s a 5 min walk to Memorial Church. Head south on Oxford St to the end (at Kirkland St intersection). Walk between the Science Center and Memorial Hall, over the Cambridge St overpass. Enter the Yard through the high spike-iron fence & Mem Church is on your left. It’s the one with the giant white columns and a steeple.
