Weddings involve many moving parts that must all successfully come together for one’s most important day. 

Transportation is among the details planned that needs to be sorted in advance, particularly when wedding parties and guests must move between ceremony and reception sites.

Typically, it is customary for the wedding party, which tends to include a couple’s parents, to be provided a ride to both the ceremony and reception. Furthermore, couples may have to figure out what to do when the wedding is over, particularly if the reception and ceremonies are a good distance apart. Here are a few transportation options couples can consider.

Party Bus

Many couples opt for a party bus to transport themselves and/or their wedding parties. Party buses are larger than limousines, and as their name implies, often establish a festive atmosphere. Couples may ask their wedding party members to meet at the ceremony location, and then a party bus will take everyone to the reception location after vows are exchanged. Party buses often play music and have refreshments available. They can be entertaining on long rides.

A local Party Bus, called the Party Snail is one such transportation choice. The company, Jurek Carrier Services, are located in Becker and provide a 15 passenger bus for just about any need wether it’s for a wedding, prom, a night out with friends, sober rides or a comfortable ride to the airport.

Jurek Carrier Services can be contacted at 651-253-8023. They also provide shuttle and limousine services.

Shuttle Bus

Couples can consider providing a shuttle to and from the airport or between other points to facilitate ease for the wedding party and guests. A shuttle can take individuals from the reception site to a nearby hotel if overnight stays have been booked. A shuttle can bring certain individuals back to the ceremony site, a transportation hub or another centralized location where they can get to their own private vehicles and back home. The couple also will need transportation home or to embark on the honeymoon, so it’s helpful to have reliable taxi service numbers or rideshare options at the ready.

Limousines

Limousines are classic modes of transportation to and from momentous events. They typically feature seating to accommodate six or more people. Limousines typically bring the wedding party to the ceremony, then wait for the duration and transport everyone to the reception. Then the cars will leave from there unless other arrangements are made.

Transportation is not a glamourous part of wedding planning, but it is a necessity that should be ironed out well in advance.
