Transportation

Megan, on August 29, 2019 at 12:02 PM Posted in Planning 0 5
My FH and I would like to get a nice bus or van to transport the bridal party to the reception from the ceremony site. For those who have done this, what did you like or didnt like about it? Thank you.

    How are they getting to ceremony? Are they going to have cars there? Are you allowing SO's on the bus too? How are the getting back to the ceremony after the reception if they have to get themselves to the ceremony? Just all good things to think about. It's a nice thing to do, but only if you have the whole day/day after logistics planned out as well.

    The bridal party is all getting ready at the reception venue and the girls would ride to the ceremony on the bus (and back) and the groomsmen are getting a ride with my FHS dad. So their vehicles would there already afterward,and the one with an SO coming has their kids so they wouldnt be on the bus.

    Then I think that's a great thing to do if it's in your budget!

    Our ceremony & reception was at one place, so we provided transportation for everyone to and from. I wouldn't provide transportation from ceremony to reception unless you plan it for hotel/house to ceremony and back, since everyone will have their cars at the ceremony space most likely. We hired a 14 person shuttle bus for bridesmaids & moms & me, it left at 9 AM from our blocked hotel (everyone was at this hotel) and went to the venue. At 2 PM, it came and picked up all the groomsmen & groom & dads, and went to the venue. We spent our time getting ready in the bridal suite & groom's suite until the ceremony. We had two 55 person guest buses pick up guests at our main blocked hotel (most everyone was in this hotel - a few weren't bus just ubered or drove to the hotel prior) and take everyone to the ceremony at 5, then at the end of the wedding (around 11) the two 55 person buses took all guests & wedding party back then bride & groom took their own limo. We did have around 15 guests drive, the other 105 all took the buses.

    Their vehicles would already be at the reception site. That's where we are getting ready (they have dressing rooms since they also have some weddings there) and the bus would also transport from there to the ceremony and back.
