Destination and out of town weddings are an increasingly popular choice for many couples. Consider guests who may be traveling long distances. Will they need transport, accommodation – both? We have curated a list of New York accommodation to fulfill a range of guest criteria. Plus, helpful tips to help guests feel more comfortable to ensure they enjoy the lead-up as much as the bride and groom! This guide will also serve as an excellent reference tool for those planning engagement celebrations in New York. We’ve detailed some tips for out of town guests.
Plan ahead
It’s a good idea to give guests as much time as possible to make arrangements. If the journey is unusually long guests will need to arrange transport and accommodation. Some may extend their stay to a mini-vacation by fitting in some tourist activities! It is proper etiquette to give an informal heads up as soon as the date is fixed for either the engagement celebrations or the wedding itself. Guests can then begin blocking out time, syncing annual leave and saving!
Create a wedding website
Wedding websites are trendy. They are a great way of displaying plenty of information such as date, times, a gift registry, recommended accommodation and transportation information. A website can be beneficial for guests and will save the bride and groom from having to repeatedly answer the same questions.
Make the full experience memorable
If guests are flying in to be a part of a happy couple’s big day, it is a nice touch to make their journey extra special. Our Long Island airport car service is a popular choice for many brides and grooms. Guests will be able to enjoy their stay more if they are confident their transportation to and from the airport is arranged. Delux Worldwide Transportation has a fleet of well-appointed vehicles to accommodate any size group.
