    FH and I live in Vancouver, BC and we're getting married in Windsor, Ontario. We're about a 6 hour flight away Smiley laugh . My parents live about 30 minutes away from our venue. I'll be staying with my parents a week before the wedding. FH is staying at an Airbnb a block away from the venue.

    About 1.50 hours away from downtown Edmonton. We picked a place that is close-ish for easier transport for most guests (and us!) and we loved loved loved our venue at first sight Smiley smile Smiley heart

    We picked something close since a) we live in Woodbridge which has more wedding halls than anything, and b) we didn’t want to have to drive far for our wedding.

    We’re getting married an hour away from our current home, however it is my hometown. We chose it because it was thousands cheaper than doing it in the big city we live in and most of my family is still around the area. We are debating a shuttle back in the evening but haven’t decided... has anyone done this?

    Our venue is about a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk from where we live. Nice and close so I can annoy our coordinator with multiple visits Smiley xd

    It’s close to 4 hours. We have to drive to the ferry terminal, wait for the ferry and then it’s about 1.5 hours after the ferry. We chose it because a)it’s beautiful and b) all our guests are coming from Ontario and we want to show them the province!

    Ours is an hour on the dot from where we're living now. My parents will be renting a house 10 minutes away for the week of the wedding. For most of our extended families, it'll be a couple hours away.

    The drive was about half hour from the house. It was in an isolated area considering beside Georgian College in the middle of Innisfil.
