Wedding planning includes coordinating numerous schedules, booking various vendors, and ensuring that the day goes off without a hitch, and this includes wedding transportation. If your ceremony is held in a distant venue, you need to think about how guests can get to the service, reception area, and back to their homes or hotels. Consider the do’s and don’ts below to help choose and organize wedding transportation for your big day.

Do:

Book Ahead of Time.

Do not put off reserving your wedding transportation, especially if you are eyeing specialized vehicles, like vintage Rolls Royce cars or large  buses. Getting reservations for these can get tricky, so try to book your transport at least four or six months before the ceremony.

Ensure Passengers' Safety.

It can be challenging to find wedding and reception venues close to one another, and this can be a logistical nightmare for wedding parties. If your reception area is more than 20 minutes away from the ceremony venue, it is best to provide wedding transportation services. When choosing a transportation company, get more information about their safety measures, ensure that they have a license to operate, and check to see if they provide training for their drivers.

Prioritize Guests Who Need a Ride.

If you have more than 300 guests, be sure to consider your guests who are coming from out of town or need transportation assistance. Couples or their wedding planners should prioritize those who need transportation most. For example, the bride's grandfather, who can no longer drive, must be on the top of the list along with anyone else who cannot drive or is physically impaired.

Don't:

Forget to Do a Head Count.

In many cases, couples already have an idea of how many guests need wedding transportation. However, it won't hurt to do another headcount once the guests return their RSVPs.

Book Too Late.

In some cases, getting transportation services in the Twin Cities area for weddings can be difficult due to availability.  Book your wedding transportation far enough in advance to ensure you have the transportation you want and need. Why not have it be one of the first tasks checked off your list?
