Wedding Day Shuttle Service
Depending on where your wedding venue is located, in Berlin or the surrounding area, you and your guests might have an extended commute to get there.
Some couples like to arrange for a shuttle service. That way, your guests are picked up from a central location and driven to your wedding venue.
In that case, it is customary to also arrange a pickup time at the end of the night to bring your guests back to that central drop-off location.
Arranging for shuttle might be a good idea if your venue is more remotely located and / or if you have a number of guests who are coming to your wedding from out of town.
That way, they do not have to worry about how to get to your venue. Also, if you are serving alcohol, guests are not tempted to drink and drive.
If you decide to book a shuttle service, the key information to discuss with the providers (which will also affect the cost) are:
- The number of people you are booking the shuttle for
- Where should everyone be picked up and returned to (central pick-up and drop-off location),
- Shuttle destination, meaning your wedding venue,
- Pick-up and drop-off times,
- Your wedding date
Wedding Day Shuttle Options
Limousine
A limousine would be most suitable for 8-15 people. Booking a stretch limo will allow you to arrive at your venue with a bit of glam.
Limousine providers usually have a selection of different limousine models which can be booked with a chauffeur and add-ons such as drinks (water, beer, sparkling wine).
Charter Bus
For larger groups, it might make sense to book a charter bus.
Most shuttle bus service providers have a fleet of differently sized bus models and will be able to create an offer based on your transportation needs.
Taxi Cab
Another option is that guests can use a taxi service, including Uber
and licensed taxi cabs.
Horse-drawn Carriage
If you are looking for a magical experience and you want to take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage on your wedding day in Berlin, it is in fact possible.
I found a few businesses that can arrange that for you. Take a look at the table below.
There is also a website that lets you compare and
book horse-drawn carriage rides from different providers. Might be worth to take a look at as well.
