How Are You Getting To The Wedding?!

Amanda, on April 27, 2023 at 18:33 Posted in Wedding ceremony 1 27

Will you arrive in style with a limo?! Are you renting a fancy car? Processing on foot to the venue with your friends and family? Riding in on a white horse?! Driving yourself?!

Share your pics and ideas below!

How Are You Getting To The Wedding?!

My mother and father drove me to my wedding with my MOH. It was a very nice moment to be able to spend with them before the ceremony! @LichonPhotography

    When we had ours, the groom's party left the house early so the bridal party could have hair/makeup done and get dressed at our house. The groom's party got ready at the hotel (wedding venue) and the bridal party was driven by limo to the venue. Limo picked up the wedding party after the ceremony and took us for photos then brought us back to the venue for the reception. A few tense moments as the limo showed up at the WRONG pickup location at first (came to the venue instead of the house to pick up the bridal party!). Fortunately it was only 10 minutes away so it was a minimum delay. I almost had a meltdown when a bridesmaid's husband told me the limo had not shown up! Fortunately my best man tried to get me calmed down with a Scotch while my wife's son (also a best man) called the limo driver and sorted out the mess.

    Natalie will be going in a Rolls Royce with her parents and I will go in a Bentley with my parents, after the ceremony our parents will ride together in the Bentley and we will be alone in the Rolls Royce

    I will be getting to our ceremony with my parents and Natalie will go with her parents. Don’t know what we will be renting but most definitely not a limo bus

    My gosh! Same here! 14 minute drive and lowest quote for a regular car was $550 plus tax and tip. It’s silly how even Uber was a ridiculous charge for you. Thank goodness for parents!

    Loving the replies on this 😊 I also looked into limo’s or fancy cars and was quoted $300 an hour. Absolutely ridiculous how vendors will gouge like that. So my dad has agreed to drive me to the wedding and transport both my fiancé and I around for photos after. He’s even letting me decorate the car all “just married”!

    Oh I know! For myself, it was a 16 minute drive to the winery from the condo and they wanted 450 for just one way! I said there's no way I'm paying for that!

    Oh my gosh! I know what you mean! For myself it was a 16 minute drive to the winery and the limo service was wanting to charge 450 for just one way! I said forget it! Even for Uber it was like $120! That's when my mom and dad were like "we'll drive you!"

    I think that's a great plan! I love that these days have so many other options instead of a limo

    I felt the exact same way about not wanting to spend extra money on such a short trip!

    Rentals are so expensive that I've decided to UBER XL. I was quoted for 30 min drive $300, I don't think so. $600 for drop off and pick up and it's not even a fancy car.

    Media convinced me I needed traditional wedding transportation but everything about it seemed like an inconvenience and an expense I’d rather put elsewhere. Having read everyone’s lovely experiences of being driven with family/ Uber etc now makes me very happy about my decision to forego hiring transportation service!
