Things To Do

In between the Ceremony and Reception if you don't plan on checking into the Westin and grabbing a cocktail, visit the Market Place at Garden State shopping center. This shopping center is a 2 minute drive from the Boathouse and has wonderful shops and restaurants. Keep in mind if you are staying at the Logan in Philly there is likely to be traffic on a Friday. It may be a better idea and check out some of our favorite restaurants and bars in between the ceremony and reception.
Market Place at Garden State Shopping Center
Some of our favorite places are:
Starbucks, Panera, Chick-fil-A, Cheesecake Factory, Brio Italian restaurant/bar.
La Scala Birra is a restaurant right near the Boathouse. They have nice outside options and an outdoor beer garden. This is also a nice place to grab a drink at before the reception. (This restaurant is 0.5 miles from the Boathouse and on the walking trail around the Cooper River Park.)
