If your wedding and receptions venues aren't in the same place, then you and your guests will have to get to the reception after the ceremony. Organising this can be an extra headache that you don't need when you have so much other stuff to sort out. Hiring a bus to transport your guests may help. What are the benefits?
1. Less Stress for You
You'll have loads of things to organise for the big day. You don't really want to be worrying about how your guests will get from the wedding to the reception venue. While many guests take care of themselves, you may still end up getting involved with others.
For example, you may have elderly relatives who don't drive who need lifts. You could spend a lot of time trying to find people to take them to the reception. Plus, if you hire a bus, you stand a better chance of getting everyone to the reception on time for group photos. You won't have to worry about the groomsmen stopping off at a pub for a quick drink or anyone getting lost on the way.
2. Nice Touch for Your Guests
Your guests will probably be pleased that you've sorted out transport for them, especially if they face a long drive to the reception. This is a nice touch for people who can't or don't want to drive themselves. They get an easy lift without having to call a taxi or trying to squeeze into someone else's car.
For example, some of your guests will prefer not to drive so they can drink alcohol at the reception without worrying about driving home. If you bus them to the reception, they don't have to worry about driving if they do drink a little too much – they can simply book a taxi at the end of the night.
3. Lower Wedding Car Costs
If you charter a bus, then you can get your bridesmaids, groomsmen and parents to take the bus to the reception. This could reduce your wedding car hire costs. You'll only need one car to get the bride and groom to the reception rather than multiple cars to transport your bridesmaids, groomsmen and parents.
To find out more about hiring a wedding bus charter, talk to local bus hire companies. You can usually hire anything from a minibus to a luxury coach, so you should find a suitable solution no matter how many of your guests need a lift.
Hello. Ivy here. As an avid traveller, I think I have used every form of transport that exists. I have traversed this planet on everything from donkeys to B-Doubles despite protests from my worried parents! These days, friends and family often consult me about different forms of transport and I have become quite a font of knowledge. I created this blog so that others who have an interest in transport can join me in my obsession and maybe extract some useful nuggets of wisdom. Please park yourself for a little while and enjoy wandering through my posts. Thank you for driving by.
