Hello,

We are planning on using a trolley after our wedding ceremony to transport entire wedding party and their guests to the reception. We may make a stop to take pictures, but are not sure about that yet. The wedding ceremony is kind of out in the country, but only about a 15 minute drive to reception location in town.

My question is, since we will be transporting all of our wedding party from the wedding ceremony, should we provide formal transportation for them (including bridal, groomsmen and ushers) and their guests to the church?

Assuming that the answer is that we should provide transportation (which I think only makes sense), is it okay to ask the local guests to meet at the reception/hotel location and we will transport them to the ceremony from there?

Finally, if we need to cut down on cost, is it okay to just arrange friends/family to transport everyone instead of a limo? Is it rude to use a limo for just the bridal party and not the groomsmen?

Thanks in advance for your advice! This website has been extremely helpful.

Dear Rach6539,

You would need to provide transportation to the church for the bridal party. Asking local guests to transport them is perfectly acceptable. After the reception you will also need to transport the bridal party unless they prepark their cars at the reception site.
