Travel time??

Terri, 20 September, 2023 at 14:57 Posted on Planning 0 13
Hey…. Help… ergh I keep changing my mind about venues. We thought we had one picked out and there’s something about it I’m not sure of, can’t put my finger on what! I figured I’ll know when it’s the right one. Anyway, we are getting married in a church and this venue we thought we wanted, is a 2 min walk if that from the church so feels ideal. But… a few others I want to go and see are between 20-30 mins drive from the church. Is this silly? Unreasonable? As a guest what would you think? I’m leaning toward ‘it doesn’t matter, whoever wants to make the journey will be there’ but my other half thinks it’s too much to ask of people. Also to bare in mind, we aren’t getting married in our hometown! So the church is just over an hours drive from us, and most people we will invite! Getting fed up of the back and forths in my mind right now!

    I don't think half an hour between venues is unreasonable. Much more than that and it can get a bit complicated, but half an hour is fine. And a lot of people are used to travelling more than an hour to get to the general wedding location anyway.

    Ok so the Church is just over an hour from you and most people invited, is the second venue on your radar although 1/2 hour from the Church - is it back in the direction of where most of the guests live.

    If you still can not decide and they are all equal then consider that the less time spent travelling is more time spent with your loved ones.

    There is perhaps another thing to consider and that is sustainability-- how far do your guests and suppliers need to travel for your wedding.

    That’s mad, travel’s the best way to feel alive again! If you’re serious about it though, stop looking at the same tourist traps and go off the beaten path. I found out that Salamangka resort is on top of my places to stay in Siquijor — and it blew my mind. It’s on Siquijor, an island in the Philippines that feels like magic’s real. Beachfront views, wild sunsets, and that proper chill you can’t fake. No crowds, no chaos, just real-deal peace with a touch of mystery.

    When I first heard about business class flights to mexico , I wasn’t sure how different it would be from other platforms, but after trying it, I can say it’s definitely unique. It caters to luxury-minded travelers who want private flights, high-end accommodations, and even curated events. The best part is not needing to manage multiple bookings—it’s all centralized. That alone makes traveling far more enjoyable, especially when you want a stress-free experience that still feels exclusive.

    Hi Dear,
    I dont think its silly at all Terri. A 20–30 min drive really isnt too much if the venue feels right but having one just a couple of minutes away is such a nice stress free option for your guests. I guess it comes down to whats more important to you convenience or the overall vibe of the venue Where are most of your guests coming from on the day? If they are already travelling quite a bit the closer option could make things feel easier. Sometimes couples even look into group transport a bit like how limoserviceinsandiego.com suggests handling multiple stops just to make it simpler for everyone.

    ¡Hola a todos! Yo usé apps como Rome2Rio para estimar rutas y agregué shuttles locales para evitar estrés; salió perfecto y todos llegaron a tiempo para el sí. Si estás pensando en mudarte o trabajar allá para financiar esa luna de miel (o incluso un rol estable para el post-boda), Suiza tiene vacantes frescas para pintores de autos—salarios top y contratos fijos. Echa un vistazo aquí para detalles.

    Honestly, a 20–30 minute drive between the church and the reception venue isn’t unreasonable at all. Most wedding guests expect a bit of travel on the day, especially when the ceremony isn’t in everyone’s hometown. As long as the timing is clear and there’s no rush, people usually don’t mind the journey.

    I’ve seen this a lot with weddings in coastal spots like Puerto Vallarta, guests often travel between locations, and it’s totally fine when the day feels well planned. Some couples even incorporate something unique between the ceremony and reception, like a short yacht experience with Palmara Charters. Their website gives a feel for how smooth and stress-free transitions on the water can be, which shows that a little travel doesn’t have to be a hassle.

    If the venue farther away feels right to you, go for it. Guests will make the trip, and they’ll remember the atmosphere and the celebration far more than an extra 20–30 minutes on the road. At the end of the day, choosing the place that feels like “the one” matters more than anything else.
