Parking situation for backyard wedding

^^ agree. You don't want people getting fined or towed the day of.

Why is the parking scene from Father of the Bride coming to mind?

Is there a public lot from which people could be shuttled?

How many guests? do they have a front yard to park in? Otherwise contact the neighbors and get permission to line the streets or park in their yards. If this isnt an option, look for a parking lot elsewhere and hire a shuttle to go back and forth- my friend did that for theirs, the bus came evry half hour and brought people to and from the hotel/parking lot.

Haha @ We'llAlways.. I was thinking of father of the bride too!!

Also consider spreading the word to guests to carpool!

Thank you, I think we'll have to line the street or hire a shuttle. There is no parking lot close by. The guest list is just over 100.

Hire a trolley or limo, ar carriage to pick up guests from a public parking area every 15 minutes. Last minute or late guests will find enough room in the neighborhood.

Hmm that's tough. I agree with the comments here though , definitely check with the town. Good luck and update us on how this was resolved!

Some towns require special permits for overloaded parking in residential zones. I would definitely check the books before you line cars down the street. You wouldn't want your event shut down for not getting the proper paper work done.

I would suggest asking a local church if you could park cars there and shuttle people over using a van service. You may want to throw in a donation to the church, just to be respectful (and persuasive). The van/bus/transportation service would be an extra cost to you, but I think it would be worth it to know that your event won't get shut down and neighbors will not complain.

How did the parking situation turn out at your backyard wedding? Thanks! --Katie from CA
