[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did this with our guests. Catholic wedding so needed a church for the ceremony. It was in the middle of Manhattan so transportation didn’t make sense for a few blocks. [/quote]

....................I may have attended this wedding. Catholic Church to fancy club in NYC? Not arranging for transport was a sh*tshow. We couldnt' get ubers and we all wound up walking for blocks in heels and dresses we did not want sweaty. It was incredibly annoying.

Pay for transport. Economize elsewhere if you need to[/quote]

Ha, not that was not my wedding.  Mine was in the fall on a cool day and we walked along with our guests through Grand Central Station. Only thing we heard was that I walked too fast (nervous energy!) a guest with a double stroller couldn't get through a door and needed help.

We had arranged for cars for the older guests, but if I remember correctly, everyone ended up walking. It was a fun memory.

I am really glad I was not there, because it is not up to you to decide who needs proper transport or not.  So rude!

Brides, it is NOT ONLY OLD PEOPLE who need transport.  That is a bunch of hooey.

This reeks of my MIL dismissing anyone's concerns that don't suit her - because Narcissism (with a cap!)

PP here. Wow that's an aggressive response! Old people is just the operative phrase for anyone who needs accommodations. I don't think anyone is going to check IDs to make sure they are old enough to qualify.  Having transportation for those who opt out of walking seems reasonable.

OP - one thing we did was let our guests know in advance that there would be a walk so no one was surprised.
