Hii I want my very destination wedding to be as seamless as possible for our guests so any advice is welcome. Our wedding weekend consists of three events - Friday Welcome Dinner, Saturday Wedding, and Sunday Brunch. Saturday and Sunday's events are at the same venue, and Friday's is at a beach house owned by the venue. This beach house apparently has no actual address, according to my wedding planner, since it's more of a collection of terraces than a house. That means they HAVE to take our provided transportation to get there basically, otherwise they'll never find it lol.
Our venue is a villa that has only enough rooms for family and the wedding party so I researched hotels and suggested three all within a 15 minute drive. Room blocks/rates are not a thing in Spain unless you book and pay up front for everyone so the hotels are really just suggestions, no rhyme or reason to it other than location and not costing an arm and a leg.
My initial thought is that it would be best to simply choose 1-2 of those hotels and say that transportation will be provided from those points, at these times, on these days etc. If anyone decides to stay somewhere else, they are responsible for Ubering/taxiing to a hotel with a shuttle or directly to the event itself (other than Friday.) Is that fair? I feel overwhelmed at the idea of trying to find out where every guest is staying and arranging transportation but also anxious at the idea of the guest experience being affected by them not understanding why there is no address/where they're going/where is the transportation etc. I really think a frustrating transportation experience can seriously affect how someone feels about a whole wedding.
