Wedding Transport: What You Actually Need

Practical guide to wedding transport — who needs cars, what timings work, and how to avoid common transport day-of disasters.

Wedding transport seems simple but tends to cause day-of stress when not planned properly.

Who needs transport

Common scenarios

Same venue ceremony and reception: Often just one car. Church then reception: Two journeys minimum. Registry office: Same. Registry office timings are strict — late equals rescheduling. Country house outdoor: Often no transport needed if everyone arrives by car.

Vintage vs modern

Vintage: £400-£900 typical hire. Beautiful, photographs well. Less reliable, no air conditioning.

Modern luxury: £500-£1,500. More comfortable, more reliable.

Practical options: £250-£700 (London cab, VW campervan, vintage bus). Often distinctive photos.

Coach hire for guests

Usually most economical to run a single coach from a central pickup point.
