Hello.

My fiancé and I are getting married in a church that is 30 minutes away from our reception. We are trying to figure out transportation for our wedding party. We aren't sure what to do, we either transport our entire wedding party and their significant others (around 25) from church to reception or none at all. The problem is though, how do we transport them back from reception to hotel?? Do we let them figure it out themselves or do we pay for transportation back? Transportation rental is 4 hour minimum.

    Our reception was in a hotel - not a chain hotel though, so they didn't offer much in terms of shuttle service. Which was totally fine with me, because all of our guests booked in the hotel's room block. (Honestly I wouldn't have offered a shuttle anyway because adults can be adults and figure out their own transportation.)

    Where are you getting ready? This is what I organized as far as the limo service, and we had the limo for 3 1/2 hours:

    2:30pm limo picked up H and groomsmen at hotel, and brought them to chapel (15 min drive)

    3pm limo swung back to pick up me, BM, and my mom at my parents' house and then brought us to the chapel (30 second drive, literally)

    Ceremony was from 3:30-4:30ish

    Pictures from 4:40ish-5:45

    5:45-limo brought us back to the hotel

    There was only one member of our wedding party who had a date who wasn't in the wedding, and he drove himself to and from the chapel.

    We had a limo for us and let the other adults be adults and figure out how to get themselves around safely.
