Transportation


Here's an idea of my timeline and I wanted to ask you guys what you're doing in terms of transportation:

6:00-8:30 - Preparation
8:30 - 9:00 - Transportation to church - upper manhattan
9:00 - 9:30 - Photos / Prep
10:00 - 11:00 - Ceremony
11:00-11:30 - Family Photos
12:00-1:45 - Photos with Bridal Party near church/reception
1:30 - 6:30 - Cocktail Hour / Reception - throgs neck, bx
6:30 - 7:00 - Transportation to hotel
7:30- ??? - After party maybe in the city

I was thinking of a party bus from church to reception and just a rolls or vintage car leaving the reception... I would also ask them to send some more cars for my guests but they would arrange their own payment.

What do you think?

PS I am a budget bride. It is possible to have a beautiful wedding in NYC without spending over 25K

Please share your tips, LOL. I'm a NYC bride too. Transportation is difficult. FH will be getting ready at his dad's house 3 blocks from the church. I told him to walk. Then I felt bad because it will be the middle of July and they'll be sweating in their tuxes.

But back to your question - did you talk to your RH? Maybe they have car service companies or the local thorgs neck cabs that they can call for you at the end of the night.

I think you should allow some more time for photos and for transportation to and from your locations.

What if that's not an option. Ceremony is at 10:00, Cocktail hour starts at 1:30pm. Pictures will be taken less than a 5 minute drive from the ceremony location.

I haven't talked with the RH but I believe that car service after might be the best option. We only really have 2 hours in between the ceremony end/family photo end and the start of the cocktail hour. I was thinking that we could show up halfway in between the cocktail hour if photos run late too..
