Watching 8 month old at wedding on baby monitor?

Hi all. Looking for advice. We are due to attend a wedding this weekend and our babysitter has pulled out. We are staying in onsite accommodation, but in a different building to the wedding itself which is a 3-5 minute walk away. She usually goes down between 7-8pm and sleeps through.

My question is - do you think one of us needs to stay with her all evening. Or, assuming the WiFi works well, do you think we can watch her on the baby monitor (which is a ring camera with an app on our phone) and go back to the wedding? I just rang the venue to check on the WiFi situation and they said we can't put her to bed and go back to the wedding (her opinion is we shouldn't do this because it's not in the building itself, I think) but I'm not sure I necessarily agree if we have the ring camera and a constant live stream. A 3-5 minute walk is a 2 minute jog for my husband. I am so torn! Will I just get a gut instinct when we arrive whether it's okay or not?

Get a f**king grip of yourself. Who in their right mind would even dream of doing this?? We had our 9 month old at our wedding and he slept in his pram in the room with us. Disgusting.

Cannot believe a mother is actually asking this question - call Social Services!

if you would not leave your child home alone while you go for a drink why on earth would you leave child alone in a hotel room while you go for a drink
