Question

What do we do during our 90 minute break? (I'm a guest who isn't in the wedding party)

Answer

Great question! There are multiple things you could do but keep in mind, this break will fly by since the location of our ceremony and reception are at different venues. Part of the break will be spent moving locations. We encourage most guests to drive to St. Theresa's Catholic Church from their hotel/airbnb for our wedding ceremony. There is a lot of parking, so if you have a car/rental car, driving would be the most convenient thing to do. Our ceremony should end around 2:30-45pm and will be followed by the flower petal toss right outside the church, approximate end time ~3pm. Between 3pm-4pm, we recommend that you drive back to your hotel/airbnb (wherever you are staying), have some downtime, and then rendezvous in the main lobby of Bally's Hotel to catch the shuttle service to our reception at Edgewood. There are two shuttles that will depart promptly at 4pm and 4:15pm from Bally's to Edgewood so you arrive by 4:30pm for cocktail hour. Cocktail hour will be on the lawn outside of the North Room. Another option could be that after leaving St. Theresa's Catholic Church, you head to Edgewood! Our reception area wouldn't be accessible until 4:30pm, but there are a lot of things you can check out at Edgewood, especially if it's your first time. You could drive back to your hotel/airbnb, drop off your car, and then uber from your hotel/airbnb to Edgewood. Edgewood does offer Valet parking if you want to drive and park at Edgewood. If you want to explore Edgewood during your break, I recommend that you get dropped off at the main entrance of the Resort and tell the staff you want to check out the bar by the Bistro. You can either grab a drink there or bypass that area and walk around the resort for some stunning photo opportunities. Form there, you can easily walk over to the North Room for our cocktail hour at 4:30pm.
