[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting - I feel like most weddings I’ve been to (or at least half) have had different locations for the ceremony and the reception. I’ve been to 4 (late spring / summer) weddings in DC area. One (suburban MD) everything was in one location, one (downtown DC) was a short (4-5 blocks). We took a cab to the ceremony and I don’t remember if we walked or cabbed between sites - I thought it was totally fine that we had to make our own way. One (VA just outside DC) was a short drive (no transportation provided) and the last had a kind of long / unusual gap. The ceremony was at a church from about 1-2 and the reception started at 5 elsewhere. I was pregnant at the time so very happy to go home and nap between the events![/quote]

Weddings that are local are usually destination weddngs for at least some of the guests.  The suburban MD all in one place hould have had transportation if it was not at a hotel for hotel to venue.  The DC 4-5 blocks was ok with no transportation if the start point for out of towners was the hotel which also held the reception.

The VA gap wedding should have had transport to/from ceremony - hotel and to-from reception hotel if the reception wasn't at the main hotel. That gap wedding planning?   Maybe it worked for some but imagine a 40 minutes each way from for example Silver Spring to Alexandria.

I don't remember if OP is a bride, groom, or other person planning that 10 minute DC summer walk. [b] If maxxed out on the budget then some line items need to be reduced   to provide guest transportation.

I don't understand leaving guests on their own, unless there is adequate parking at both the wedding and also at the reception.  If not - it is on the bride and groom. [/quote]
