Formal or Black Tie Optional.
Because our wedding is in Downtown Orlando, parking is limited and can be expensive. We are recommending that our guests use Uber or Lyft to get to the event, as this will be your easiest option. The venue does have a parking garage, The Chase Plaza Garage (see next section for directions)--the parking is $15 and the garage is very tight and difficult to park in. There are other various parking garages downtown, and street parking is free after 6pm. Another parking garage option is located across from First Presbyterian Church 109 E Church Street, Orlando, Florida 32801
The Balcony Orlando - 189 South Orange Avenue, Suite 1120, Orlando, Florida 32801 Chase Plaza Lobby - 25 E Church Street, Orlando, Florida 32801 There will be an a venue coordinator in the lobby to direct you. Further directions… Head to the Chase Plaza Lobby (located behind Chela Restaurant, at Church Street and Orange Avenue). Take the lobby elevator up to the 11th floor. There will be signs in the lobby and the 11th floor hallway. Chase Parking Garage – 15 South Court Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32801 If you park in this garage, use Google Maps. Apple Maps and other GPS systems will not work. Park on Level 3 or higher, near the South Tower elevators, in any spot. Take the South Tower elevators DOWN to the main (Chase Bank) lobby. From there, you will take the elevator to the 11th floor.
Good question! ACCOUNT FOR IT! Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to the venue, get parked (if you're not Ubering--see question 2 for why you should!), and get up to the wedding. You will be hitting Friday afternoon traffic and competing with people leaving work for the day. We would advise giving yourself about an extra 30-45 minutes.
The wedding will be held in Downtown Orlando, so we encourage our guests to take the party downtown after the wedding. There are lots of fun bars and clubs--visit our "Things to Do" page for suggestions. Or better yet, hit the town with us! We're going to start out at Mathers Social Gathering--just around the corner from the venue 30 S Magnolia Avenue
We are getting married outside on the rooftop of a Downtown Orlando high-rise. The ceremony will be held outdoors, the dinner indoors, and the dancing and reception outdoors. Please plan accordingly (possibly chilly!) Though we are on a rooftop, there is NO SMOKING at The Balcony (this includes electronic cigarettes). Thank you for complying with our venue.
