Wedding Ceremony Begins
Location: St Bede's Catholic Church, Pyrmont
Please note that if you are taking an Uber to the church, select "The Star Casino, 20-80 Pyrmont St" as your destination, because Uber often goes to a different location when you enter the church's address.
Please arrive 10 minutes early to be seated comfortably.
There is a toilet at the back of the church. There are also bathrooms in the Star Casino across the road.
