Guest transportation

My hotel recommended Lyft Event too. Or you could do what my friends cousin did. They rented a passenger van (10 seater) and paid one of the cousins friend to shuttle. (They had to be old enough for insurance). I think that if you’re offering booze, it’s a great way for people to enjoy themselves and return safely

I don't think you have to provide a shuttle. But if you decide to, I like this idea. People don't all have to come and go at once, like with a shuttle, and you don't have to worry about limited Lyft drivers since it's a rural area. Plus, a friend can make some money for a fairly easy night's work!

I'm not doing anything. We are getting married inside a State Park in a very rural area. We will have an open bar, but we are also ditching around 9:30 because neither of us are the partying type. That being said, not providing transportation makes people think about their choices. I also don't want to pay for people to get hammered... To each their own though!

If you can afford it, then yes. Our wedding was in a rural area so we paid for two 55 person buses to take people from the hotel to the venue & back.

I didn't even know this was a thing and I'm super excited about it

I would say if you can afford it then do it. We didn't want to do it because we're in a city with uber/lyft and like your fiance said, adults should be adults. But it's important to my in-laws so we're doing it.
