Map the complete celebration

List hotels, ceremony and reception addresses. Decide which movements need transportation, including the return at the end of the evening. A hotel pickup and a late-night return may require different passenger counts.

Make departure times clear

Choose a coordinator to communicate the final schedule to guests. Include precise pickup instructions and a contact number, and confirm safe loading areas with the venues.

Leave room for the unexpected

Discuss photo stops, ceremony timing and multiple return departures with the team. Confirm the booking terms before making transportation promises to your guests.

Plan for different return needs

Some guests may want to leave earlier than others. Decide which return departures you want to request, how many people will use each one and which hotels need service. A clear schedule helps guests choose their departure before the reception ends. Ask how additional runs or later changes affect the quoted arrangement.

Put the plan into practice

Share venue addresses, guest numbers and the last departure time. Include hotel runs and late-night returns so the team can help you plan the complete guest journey.

Before you send your inquiry

Review the itinerary with the people responsible for the places you are visiting. Loading access, the final headcount and return times help the team prepare a useful quote. Once arrangements are confirmed, share the same version of the plan with everyone travelling.
