MAJOR guest travel dilemma....

I hope some of you can come up with a creative solution because I'm desperate!

We're expecting roughly 150 people to the wedding. 50 of these people will be coming from out of the country. They're planning on using our wedding as an excuse to have a New York vacation for a week or two, which is great.

PROBLEM: Our venue is East Wind, which is like 2 hours away from Manhattan.

I've tried going over every possible solution in my head and can't come up with anything feasible/affordable.

1. We send a huge coach to pick them all up in Manhattan, drive 2 hours to Wading River, attend wedding, and then drop them off in NYC after wedding (and a 2 hour drive back)

-very expensive for us, very inconvenient for them

2. Have them take a train from NYC to Wading River day of, arrange for limos to pick up from train station closest by (Port Jeff?)

-very cheap for us, very rude/tacky/inconvenient for them having to sit on train for 2 hours wearing their finest clothes

3. Organizing a weekend on Long Island for them - so they spend a week in the city, then come to LI for wedding/wineries/whatever.

-expensive for us, they might not want to, and they'd still need to get back to JFK

What do I do??? I'm so upset over it because I can't figure it out. I feel like we need to switch our venue to something in Nassau because of this but I'm so in love with East Wind!

MAJOR guest travel dilemma....

Keep your venue! You love it and that's all that matters. As for the guests, I like the third option. This way the get to see the city, and 'the country'. The only problem is, is that you would still have to pay for transportation for them.
Or they can always go to NYC for vaca after your wedding weekend and figure out transportation themselves - - since it's their vacation. I don't know...it's kind of tricky lol. Good luck!
