Local transports
During the wedding day and the day after, we will all go by car from place to place… You may choose to rent a car, in that case, it may be a good idea to share the rental… or if needed, we can try to allocate seats with other people.
For after-party transport, we can check for taxis if you wish to. This will need to be booked in advance.
