Who on here had an out in the country location and what did you do for after ceremony transport. If you did any. Fh and I are struggling to decide what to do. Everyone is going home or to different hotels so a shuttle/limo would be driving all over and then what do we do with the cars at the site? It's also not cheap to do some companies always come out from the suburbs.

Personally I don't see how we coordinate getting people back to multiple locations, so do you just place responsibility on them to have a sober driver?

Then maybe just a limo for us? We leave the reception before tear down.

You could pick up guests from 2 hotels and shuttle them to and back.

Or you can absolutely rely that responsible adults should be responsible adults and hire yourself a vehicle.

Are the hotels nearby to each other? Most shuttles will make multiple stops if needed, or you can just pick a central location near most hotels if it’s walkable for people from there! We’re shuttling to/from 2 hotels.

We have a similar situation. The hotels are 15 minutes away and 30 min away (in different directions) so a shuttle isn’t really realistic for us without coming close to 2k (yikes) so my fiancé’s parents are providing a “shuttle” for the wedding party (many of which are siblings) so they can all drink and then the rest of the guests are going to have to be responsible and arrange a sober driver

I don’t have money for shuttles. My guest going to have to Uber and Lyft it. But the drivers are very amused when you are super drunk.

You are the closest to my situation then! Hotels are about the same time frame. Sounds like responsibility is going to be the number 1 option.

It’s tough! We would have loved to provide a shuttle but it simply isn’t realistic for our situation! I have been to weddings where the situation was similar and people understood and seemed to make good decisions so we are counting on our guests doing the same!

Our ceremony & reception are at the same venue, in a small rural town of 200 people. Our blocked hotel is 30 minutes away in Denver. We hired guest transportation and had guests RSVP "yes" or "no" to whether they wanted to use it. Our invites had an insert card explaining it was a small town with no uber/lyft options and limited cell service at all, and if they leave their cars they must get them by 9 AM the next morning. Out of our 117 responses, 87 want to use the transportation. Each bus costs $1,151. We hired 2 one way trips for bridesmaids & groomsmen since we have to get down to the venue early and they will go back on the bus. Then we hired a getaway car for us!
