I Want A Small Wedding?

I wouldn't force it. Some people may not want to stay all night long. Perhaps suggest a pre-wedding cocktail party for your guests at a hotel where your out of town guests will be staying and then have the limo's pick everyone up there. You can send out a formal invite to everyone and in that include a car will pick you up at whatever time. I think it would be very expensive to hire a service to drive around your city and pick people up. Also, contact the various limo services, and find out what they charge and how many people their limo's will hold.

Not a very good idea. Some guests might come early to where ever meeting place and have to wait for all the rest of the guests to arrive, which can make them lose their temper and…..better hire a vip-coaches bus or something with a caterer inside the vip-coaches serving appetizers, and non-alcoholic beverages and a video or your audio video presentation of you and your groom preparing for the wedding, then early guests won't have to be impatient in waiting. Get the vip-coaches to park at some other church parking lot which is safe for your guests to leave their cars for 5 hours. Make the invite to go to that church, and ask someone to wait outside for your guests to arrive. One location for 80 guests. Surprise them when the bus runs to where your wedding will actually be. Sorry for any guests who might be late.

as far as pricing, I have no idea, but I do think that that is one really cool idea!!! I think that you should have them meet at like a place where all day parkin gis permitted, and that it doesn't cost. Also look for somewhere central, where it will not be closer to any side of town. I am from Evansville IN, but I would have the people meet at the huge civic center parking lot down town, which is right int he center of town. It is one really huge parking lot where all day, night and anytime parking is ok. Also look for a parking garage that does this, like down town here they also have a 5 story parking garage for the general downtown area. ( it doesn't belong to any one facility, just the city itself) These are some ideas, but like i said, you should make sure it is a well known place that is centrally located. The limo service here was like 200 per limo for like three hours i think or maybe four, but if that helps, I hope your wedding is wonderful!!!!

the idea sounds nice but really people won't like it much. people like to have their cars right there so that they can leave when they want to. plus it will save you a ton and be one less thing to plan.

I think thats really nice idea but I also think it's going to be really expensive. Have you considered "coach" buses or limo buses? They are much bigger so they would accommodate more people. You would want everyone to arrive at the same time or close to it so there isnt one group sitting and waiting for all the others to arrive. So, the bigger the transpiration, the smoother things will go when they get there
As far as a pick up location, if you have any drinkers or out of town guest they may want to stay at a local hotel. Hotels are usually accommodating for parking cars as well if you block your rooms with them for the wedding, so that might be a good idea for pick up. Also a lot of hotels have a nice (sometimes covered) entry so the guests wont be standing in a random parking lot and waiting for their ride.
Some people wont want to take the transportation for whatever reason so expect that too.
Good luck - nice idea!

Are you set on this idea? It may be more of a bother, and people may just decline, because I know that I myself would want to take my own car, in case I needed to leave or something. Maybe make it optional?
Call a few limo companies and see what they charge. And for how many people and how long.
Maybe instead of having limos pick everyone up, you can have better flowers or better food?
Good luck hun in whatever you decide. I am sure you will have a beautiful wedding day! Congrats!

For one if you are doing a shuttle service, which by the way has been done countless times so companies that deal with special occasions are used to it, you should look into a party bus rather than a limo.
Either way you just need one car and have it do "routes" back and forth between the location. People can park at any public location. By public location I mean a large park, a mall, something like that. If you use a private lot like a store, church, or a school without clearance you are going to risk having guests cars towed.
Your issue is going to come in when people want to go home. You are going to have to have a car on standby for them the entire reception time since you cannot force people to stay the whole time which can get very expensive.

Although different, that probably isn't the best idea. It'll cost a LOT of money for that many guests. Also, they'll have to drive to a certain spot anyway and most people would rather go straight to the wedding themselves so they can have their own freedom of transportation. They'll want to leave when they want and not have to worry about waiting for the limo.
6-10 limos for that time period will cost a lot of money. I'd just let everyone meet you there. I probably would just go in my own car if I was in this situation.

forget the limos. Rent a bus and have a keg of beer on the bus. make it a road trip.

Why are you trying to arrange for a limo to bring everyone there? For show? To be nice? Listen, people usually prefer to have a ride HOME or to their hotel rather than from a parking lot….that way, they can drink as much as they want and not worry about driving drunk.
Still, if you're set on doing this, it will be quite expensive to transport that many people. I'm guessing you'll need 4 or 5 super limos (like the hummer limo) and they'll probably cost you $300 a piece.

Sounds like an expensive hassle. You have to realize that many people are not going to stay the entire wedding and reception. In fact, most people other than family don't stay the entire reception. People want the ability to drive up whenever they feel like, and leave when they want. What if someone is running late, and misses the limo? Save your money, and appear/leave in a limo yourself. Your guests will be much happier.
