Distance From One Location to Another

Jasmine, on October 9, 2020 at 2:07 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 16

I'm currently looking into price differences between holding a rehearsal dinner at our venue and at a restaurant. Of course we'd want to save as much money as possible so we'd go with the cheaper option. Our venue isn't really next to much and one restaurant we are asking about is 15 mins away from the venue. Anyone think that's doable or too far??

    I think that is fine as long as it is a simple drive. My SIL get married last year and she had here ceremony at a residence and then had her reception at a restaurant supposedly 15 minutes away lol. It was extremely hard to find and about half the guest get lost trying to find it. So I would recommend providing driving instructions to your guests.

    I think 15 minutes is definitely doable! My fiance and I are holding our rehearsal at our venue, and our rehearsal dinner will be held at a restaurant 20 minutes away (our venue is not anywhere near other restaurants or anything).

    Driving instructions! I'm glad you brought that up because the restaurant is in a promenade so it could be a little misleading if you don't already know the area. Thank you!

    Thanks. I double checked the distance and it's actually a little less than that. Either way, I'm feeling better about it.

    I think 15 minutes is totally fine. Our rehearsal dinner venue was about 10-15 from our wedding venue. None of us knew the area, but we were easily able to locate it. My husband and I had also toured it once before selecting it.

    I think it’s fine. Our rehearsal dinner was about 30 minutes from our church. But, that’s where we wanted it. I don’t think anyone complained.
    So I think 15 min would be fine!

    Thanks. Just being the person I am, I'm not sure if I would have been ok with 30 mins even if no one complained lol. I feel better about 15 mins.

    All of our guests really love the restaurant we chose. Everyone was really excited for it! Otherwise, I doubt they would have been ok with it.

    Oh that's good! My fiance and I like this restaurant so we hope everyone else will like it too. If we even have it there. I guess we'll see with the quote difference between the two.
