27 mins driving from Wedding to Reception.... too long or not?

Alright, our wedding we want to be at the botanical gardens, which is about a half hour from me. but the family lives like 10 mins away from, and the ones were real close to of course live out here, but they are parents and will be willing to drive that im sure, and our best friends.


the problem isnt that, the reception is 27 mins away from the wedding? but thenim taking the family away from being close to their homes. Mind you its still only like 30 mins back home.


Is that too far, or do you think that will be okay.





Weve got two very nice locations picked out, one is the botanical gardens and we are having the reception if all goes as planned in an auto museum that rents the facilities out.


teh reception is half between the distant family and our home.





I love pictures and feel that the gardens will be awesome for pics, and the hubby to be loves cars and so then that fits his personality.

Mine were about an hour apart (he wanted to get married in his parents church). Everyone we wanted to be at both made it, so you should be fine.


Congratulations.
Reply:That will be just fine. I'd say the average is about 15-20 minutes anyway. What's another 10 minutes to get to the perfect place.
Reply:Not at all. In the city we live in, it takes that time to cross the city anyway.
Reply:27 minutes is not too far. My reception is 30 minutes away from my Church.
Reply:I don't think that is too far. We hired some people carriers and all the guests went in those to and from the registry office, as the traffic in London is horrendous on a Saturday it actually took about half an hour or just over to get back to the house. I don't think 27 minutes is too much to ask, if your heart is set on the locations you have chosen then I'd say go for them!
Reply:No it is not too far but if people think it is maybe you can hire a bus to take people to the reception and the drinkers home
Reply:It will be damn near IMPOSSIBLE to please everyone. Do it the way you want to. Weddings are always going to be an inconvenience to someone attending. (Due to travel, money, time off from work, etc.) Just do what you want to do, and those who can make it will! Don't over analyze it. You won't even remember these small details six months from now. Congrats and good luck!
Reply:Sounds fine to me. Many people's commutes are over an hour each way, so 27 min should be fine.





btw, are you in SoCal? There is a car place with banquet facilities in Tustin that I was thinking of having my reception at - it's called Joe's Garage. I'm really into classic cars. If that's where you're having yours, could you let me know how it goes?





Anyway, have fun, and congrats!
Reply:It's not too far...I wouldn't think it unreasonable if I were your guest. It may be a good idea though to check with guests if they can get there ok...some may not have a car and you might need to do a bit of arranging to get those folks a ride. HAve a loveley day!

Reply:it isn't far, if your guests want to be there for you %26amp; your future hubby they won't mind. I've gone to Germany %26amp; I live in California. That's far. Congrats on your upcoming Wedding %26amp; Best wishes on your life together as a married couple.
Reply:not to long at all! mine are 20-25 minutes away from each other.
Reply:I think a wedding should be about the couple who is getting married. What you are planning is not unreasonable and I think you should do it if it makes you both happy. Thirty minutes is not that far from home.
Reply:Yeah go for it !


Its tour day and your choice and people have to go along with your plans.


It is by no means excessive and the venues are superb, we looked at loads and in the end settled on Madely court in Telford !


Have a great day!
Reply:Its not to long at all. I am getting married in Tallmadge Ohio with is out the way for everyone, and its about 30 to 35 minute drive from the reception site in Oakwood Village. But the recpetion hall is closer to home for everyone.





All in all, the people who truly want to be with you on this special day will go anywhere!





Best wishes!
Reply:Not too long at all! I'm sure many could carpool. And if they're not willing to drive that far, then they are major party poopers!
Reply:I say do it since its what you really want. Anything over 30 min would probably be pushing it but 27 isn't too bad. It takes most people that long to get to work each day.
