4 Reasons Guest Transportation at Your Wedding is a Great Idea!
No matter which wedding venue you settle on, more likely than not you’ll have guests arriving from far and wide to share the day with you. Old friends, new friends, co-workers, and relatives, coming together to celebrate you and your spouse on the big day. With so many visitors coming into town, you are going to want to ensure that your guests have a magical weekend. After all, weddings are a celebration of a couple and their community.
As you dial in the final details of your planning, be sure to give thought to transportation options for your wedding guests. What details can you weave into your wedding day to ensure that your guests get to know each other well? Bulk transportation is a great way to break the ice and encourage people to get to know each other. If your guests are staying in local hotels, then providing transportation for them is not only a logistical means to encourage them to travel en masse but a great way for them to bond.
Here are some key reasons to consider bulk transportation for your wedding guests:
Ease the Stress
Providing transportation to your wedding venue eliminates all the stress and hassle of public transportation and parking. It allows your guests to enjoy being taken care of throughout the day. It also means you don’t need to worry about anyone being late to the ceremony or the reception. If your wedding ceremony and reception are taking place in two different locations, then providing bulk transportation eliminates the risk of late arrivals.
Designated Driver
If you are providing alcohol for your guests, then ensuring a safe designated return ride to their hotel is sure to be appreciated. It means your guests don’t need to worry about taxi costs or whether your venue offers overnight parking. As the host, you can have the peace of mind that you are providing a safe and trustworthy ride home.
Better still, plan to stagger two or three drop off options throughout the evening. This means the night owls can stay to dance the night away, while other guests are able to leave at an hour that suits them.
It Is Fun!
Turn travel time into primary social time for all of your mutual friends. Providing taxis or a party bus grants them carved out time to meet and get to know each other before the nuptials begin. After all, the goal is for your guests to come as strangers and leave as friends! Since you are coordinating bulk travel, you might wish to plan some fun, local activities for your guests. Give your out of town friends a weekend trip to remember.
