Need Your Advice

OOT MOB needs some advice. We are having the reception at Francis Marion and a lot of oot guests will be staying there. The wedding is at St Lukes Chapel at MUSC. I'm wondering if we should allow guests to drive or call a cab and get to St Lukes on their own or do we pay Black Cab for a motorcoach? Wonder what others have done? Also, how does the bridal party get back from St Lukes to the Francis Marion, if we don't have the motorcoach? We have about 150 guests -maybe 100 will be out-of-towners. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

    We did not pay for or organize any transportation. H and I drove in our own car, I understand it's " one day " so a lot of people splurge, but we just couldn't reason it. All of our BP are adults and they understood before hand it was their responsibility to get from ceremony to the reception on their own. We just had a meeting place before the reception kicked off. OOT guests can't really expect to chauffered to a wedding, do they ? I mean, I think it's known that it's up to the guest to find their own transportation. I wouldn't do it, it would be more $$ than it's worth ( how many trips is that ... I know short distance but either way ) and you would be worried if someone got left behind !

    As a guest I would not expect you to arrange for transportation for me. The only time I've seen the guests shuttled to/from was when the location was either very far away or somewhere that was not accessible to the general public. Considering that the ceremony is less than a mile from the hotel, I would think it would be a huge waste of effort and money. Your guests are grown-ups (or at least will have adult supervision) I'm sure if you provide them with the directions they can figure out their own way to/from the wedding & reception. If you want to do something special for the bridal party, that's not all that uncommon but I would think a cab or carpooling would suffice unless you're having an unusually large bridal party.
