How far would you drive for a wedding?

You'll be fine. Our venue was about an hour drive for 35% of our guests. Another 15% were from oot sbd we had a Sunday wedding with no problems. We did end before dark to be mindful of travel.

An hour would be fine to me. But I think what defines "far" depends on where you are from. Where I grew up outside LA, no one would think twice about an hour drive. But I have found that in New England an hour drive is considered far by more people.

An hour wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. If I really like you I'd drive farther. I drove 6 hours for my friends earlier this year. I was in the wedding, but even if I wasn't, I'd still have done it.

An hour wouldnt be a deal breaker for me, i have done it afew times. i have actually driven 4hrs for one before (luckily it was in my hometown). i think it depends on how close i am to the person and what time/day it its.

1hr no problem though

I think an hour is totally reasonable.

I've driven 6 hours for a wedding before, and next year I'll be flying to another country for a wedding. If it's someone important to me, I make sure I'm there for them.

An hour isn't bad at all. I will drive 45 min to an hour to visit my friends on an average Saturday night. I would probably drive 2-3 for a wedding.

An hour? Pfft, it takes me that long to drive home from work! An hour is nothing.

An hour is really a piece of cake. I would travel that for a friend or family member. I don't think people will be mad or not come because of that. Heck all of my friends and family had to travel thousands of miles for my wedding and they did it. Sometimes it's amazing what you will do for friends and family, everyone knows it is a special day and will want to see that.

I've driven about 13 hours for a wedding currently.

I have driven 9 hours. Also flown across the country. Even in state weddings can be a 45 min-2 hour drive with traffic. My wedding is 1-2 hours from our geographically closest guests. I'm hoping they will travel that far for us. If they won't travel an hour for you then they probably aren't worth it (newborn babies and serious health problems aside).

Toronto Canada, several times. It's about a 9 hour drive.

My FH and I drove 2 hours to his sister's wedding in Los Angeles (ceremony), down to Laguna Beach another 2.5 hours (pictures), then another 45 min to the reception. All i remember was being in the car, taking a few pictures and thats it! Honestly, I wouldn't do that again.

However, if it was 2 hours at the same location and to be there for several hours, I would go.

More than half of our "local" guests will drive an hour and a half to our wedding, because we're getting married in Winnipeg and they all come from rural towns around the city. However, being from rural towns they're used to driving an hour or so to get anywhere. If most of your guests are from a big city, they probably won't be as comfortable driving one hour outside of the city.

I'm flying across the country for one of my friends weddings (NC to WA). I have driven between 1-12 hours for a wedding in my own state (and out of state after I moved away). On that same note, there are some weddings that I won't be going to because they are far away (10-14 hours away) and I just can't afford to take the time off of work again and make the travel (we were invited to five weddings this year and have our own early next year).

Our venue is about 30-35 minutes from the hotels (most of the guests are OOT guests) and 40-45 minutes from the church. We were told by some of our friends, that to do what makes us happy and the people who want to be there (and are able to be there financially) will find a way to get everywhere.

An hour is totally doable!

I'd totally drive an hour... That's really nothing at all! Our venue was bout 45 minutes from my house, but most of my family lives 4 hours away. Everyone who wanted to come did and those who didn't want to make the drive didn't make a point to be there. The most important thing to me was that I got to marry the love of my life in the most perfect setting I could dream of! I've also driven 6 hours to a wedding before!

An hour is definitely not a big deal. We're traveling 4-5 hours by car to a wedding in November.

I think an hour is fine. My friends, both from the same city, got married an hour and a half away because they loved the venue. At first I was like "what the heck" but it really wasn't that far away and the venue was absolutely gorgeous. I'm sure you'd be fine with a 1hr commute on a saturday
