Transportation can be crucial on wedding day Getting there Whether it's a stretch limousine or something a little more vintage, getting to and from the ceremony on your wedding day is one of the biggest bases to cover. (MS photo) MS — Weddings are momentous events for the couple tying the knot as well as all of the friends and family invited to share in the big day. Before couples can tie the knot and cut a rug at their reception, everyone, couple and guests included, must arrive at the location (or locations if the ceremony site differs from the reception area). Though arranging wedding day transportation can be difficult, there are ways to make the process go more smoothly for guests and bridal party members. • Determine your needs: Before a transportation plan can be made, couples must first map out their needs. Everything should be built around the ceremony. Once the ceremony time has been set, the rest of the day can be arranged around that time. Determine how much time is needed to travel from the ceremony to the reception area. Allocate enough time before the cocktail hour to allow for traffic, photos and any other needs that may take up time. Couples do not want anyone, included themselves, to feel rushed. Once the timing has been That S'tzikas The Mlfht Note %toed a toad a6 d444 to pan wadal, / Solo violin, string duets, trios and quartets Call Cappy for your free estimate 519-440-2417 L..!, code Pzeuiee orchestrated, couples can figure out exactly which types of transportation will be required. • Book personal transportation first: Happy couples must make their own transportation their top priority. Arrange for the couple's transportation between five and seven months in advance of the wedding. It could be preferable to book it even further in advance if a couple is getting married around a holiday or during prom season when limousines and party buses are in high demand. Remember, unless the bride-to-be plans to be seen by her groom, couples will need separate transportation to the ceremony site. Factor multiple vehicles into the wedding transportation budget. • Explore your personality: Brides and grooms have many transportation options at their disposal. If a limousine doesn't add the spark of creativity they desire, they can opt for a Volkswagen bus or a retro roadster. Outdoor enthusiasts might want to ride off on horseback, while easy riders might prefer to rev up the engine on a Harley-Davidson.
