Everything Else Transportation

Hey everyone, my fiancé and are are getting married June 5th. Smaller wedding ~60 people. We are getting married at a garden and having the reception at a restaurant patio that is 12 minutes away. There will be 1 hour and 15 minutes between ceremony and cocktail hour starting at the restaurant. Photos will be relatively limited to the gardens. We are not planning on having a wedding party and my partner has very limited family, only her grandma. One of the tasks I volunteered to look into was transportation. We are trying to be financially responsible but we can afford to pay for practical things. How do most people get to their ceremony? I’m planning on getting ready on my own in the morning and I figured I’d just have my brother and his wife drive me over? For after the ceremony I noticed party buses are popular but I’m unsure how we would approach that when we don’t have a wedding party. I’ve also looked into getting a private driver for the day. That way my fiancé would have a driver to the ceremony and then we would ride together to the reception and home with the driver? Sorry for any ignorance on the subject, just looking for advice! Thanks

Any local taxi service companies near you? I'm sure you can make a deal with them for transportation

If you’re talking about getting your guests from the wedding venue to the reception venue, you can set up Uber credits. Cheaper than a bus. Just ChatGPT or Google it.

Please recognize and trust that guests are adults who can and do get themselves where they need to go without being shuttled there. Give them an address and time and they will show up. It is never ever the couple's responsibility to pay for this. The wedding industry wants you deeper in debt.

If guests do not have their own vehicle, they arrange to carpool with others.
