Did you know that every year there are over 2 million weddings in the United States? If you are going to be part of this statistic in the near future and are in the middle of wedding planning, you are in the right place. When it comes to wedding planning there is so much that goes into every detail, sometimes the wedding party transportation is overlooked.
Keep reading to make sure you don’t forget to plan this other important part of your big day.
Wedding Party Transportation to the Ceremony
You want to make sure that your entire wedding party is at the ceremony on time. While it may be ok for the bride to arrive later it is never ok for the wedding party to be late. There are different options for making sure that the wedding party arrives on time and in style.
You can arrange for a professional company to pick the wedding party up from the groom’s home and one from the bride’s home if you have groomsmen and bridesmaids. If you already live together then you can have a larger limousine pick up the entire wedding party from your home or set a designated spot for everyone to meet at a certain time.
Whether you need a smaller ride or room for up to 50 people there are options. The average stretch limo sits around 10 people but there are smaller town cars and also larger full-size coach buses for you to choose from.
Transportation to the Reception
If your ceremony will be held in a different location than your reception then you want to plan the ride for the wedding party to arrive at the reception on time. You can also call in the pros for this ride to make things easier. Many companies will charge a set fee for having their driver wait outside the ceremony location until you are ready to head to the reception.
If you prefer to save some money then you can make carpooling plans in advance with friends and family to have everyone on the same page of how they will get to the reception. The key to smooth sailing here is to have clear and open communication with everyone involved.
If you plan on going to a location to take pictures in between the ceremony and reception then hiring a big enough limo or multiple limos for the entire wedding party will make sense. This will make it easy for the photographer to have everyone arrive at the same time and will not throw your reception time off.
Time to Plan Everyone’s Rides
Now that you have learned the ins and outs of the wedding party transportation you can start planning this wedding detail. Start calling transportation services in your area if you want to ensure that everyone arrives at the same time and more importantly on time.
