Where do I park?

Beaubien parking garage is attached to the Renaissance center, (the building Highlands is located in). Below is the verbiage to put on your wedding website and wedding invitations:

Please utilize the Beaubien Place Parking Garage that is located on the east side of the Rencen, 2nd garage closest to the river - 238 Beaubien St, Detroit MI 48243 - Please make sure you park in this parking structure, We will not be able to validate your parking if you park in the first garage, which is PORT ATWATER. Beaubien has blue signs, Port Atwater has red signs. I have attached a picture of what the correct parking garage looks like on the outside for your reference.

Once you park in the garage, please utilize the 2nd floor bridge that is located in the parking garage. It will give you direct access to the building. You may use the escalators or the Marriott elevators.
