Shuttle at end of the evening only...

I would do shuttles both ways. Ask people to sign up for the shuttles in advance to avoid the space issue.

What about doing an Uber Event Code there and then shuttles back?

You'd have to provide shuttles both ways, otherwise you'll have guests who have to drive to the reception. They'd either have to leave their cars overnight or skip the shuttle and drive back. Kind of defeats the purpose of the shuttle.

Uber event code for getting to the ceremony is a great idea! -- I had forgotten about that option.

Really my thought with providing shuttle service at the end of the evening is that we will have to have a shuttle for the wedding party to return to the hotels and might as well open that up to guests that would like to use it as well.

As an aside -- our group leaves our vehicles, especially in valet lots all the time, thats why I added that, perhaps its not the same in every group.

I'm with most. Both or not at all.

I'm paying for taxis at the end of the night. I let the taxi company know ahead of time and they will have cars waiting. It is saving me $400. The taxis will prevent drunk driving. To get the cars in the morning, we will carpool.

I'm in the same situation as you. I think the biggest issue will be that transportation companies might have minimum hour requirements to service events. Seems like average requirement in my area is 3-5 hours.

Yes most of the companies have a minimum but our plan is to just pay the minimum hourly amount. With the vendors we’ve spoken to the minimum hourly is not much more then the one-way transfer fee. I hadn’t thought about taxis, I will look into that as well.

We are thinking of Uber events at the beginning of the night because it allows people to leave one their schedule instead of trying to make a shuttle bus schedule. We would likely have people waiting at the ceremony site for 30-45 minutes if we do a shuttle at the beginning which would aggravate me as a guest.

Thanks for everyone’s input.
