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

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.
Couples should never feel penned
in by tradition, especially when

remarkable and the budget allows
for it.
• Have your getaway car ready:
Couples generally opt to arrive to the
wedding and reception in style, but
take their own vehicles or cabs home
afterward. This requires some
advanced planning. Enlist the help
of friends to park the return -trip car
