Marrying in a City That Isn’t Yours? We Own the Ground.

You’re planning a wedding in a region you don’t live in, for guests flying in from everywhere. We become your local transportation department — meeting every flight and jet, running the room-block shuttles, and moving the whole party through venues we already know cold.

Your Feet on the Ground

Planning from afar, we’re your local desk.

The hardest part of a destination wedding is the part you can’t see from home: which causeway backs up at 5pm, how far the beach venue really is from the room block, which airport a given guest should fly into. We answer those questions before you ask them, because the map is our neighborhood, not a printout you’re decoding from another state.

  • Drive times we already know
  • One local contact for the couple
  • Guests briefed on where to land
Built around your resort

Many destination couples base the whole weekend at one resort — the St. Regis on Longboat Key, the Don CeSar on the beach, the Sandpearl in Clearwater. We anchor the shuttle loop to that lobby and radiate every event out from it, so guests always know where their ride begins. From $150 per hour.

Our resort transfers

Getting Everyone Here

Three airports, every arrival covered.

Destination guests trickle in over two or three days on dozens of separate flights. We watch the manifests you send us and meet each one — commercial or private — so no one is standing at a curb wondering how they get to the hotel.

TPA

Tampa International

The main gateway for most guest airlift — curbside and baggage-claim meets, then a straight run to the room-block hotel.

PIE

St. Pete–Clearwater

Closer to the beaches and a quieter arrival; ideal when the celebration sits on the Gulf side.

SRQ

Sarasota–Bradenton

The short-hop airport for Longboat Key and Sarasota venues, plus private-jet arrivals at its FBOs.

The Whole Trip, Not the Wedding Day

From first landing to last flight home.

For out-of-town guests the wedding is a trip, not an afternoon. We own the entire arc so the couple never fields a “how do we get there?” text at 11pm.

1

Arrivals & meet-and-greet

Every flight and jet met over the arrival days, with luggage handled and a straight run to the room block.

2

All-events guest shuttles

Welcome party, ceremony, reception and any excursions — a continuous loop tied to the base hotel.

3

Departures on the flight schedule

Staggered send-offs after the brunch, each timed to a guest’s actual outbound so no one misses a gate.

Destination Wedding Transportation — FAQ

We live out of state — how does destination wedding transportation work?
We become your local ground department. You plan the wedding from home; we handle everything that touches a road here — meeting the flights, running the guest shuttles, and moving the party through venues we already know. You get one local contact who answers the questions you can’t answer from another state, like real drive times and which causeway to avoid at rush hour.
Do you meet guests at the airport, including private jets?
Yes, at all three regional airports. We watch the manifests you send us and meet each guest at Tampa (TPA), St. Pete–Clearwater (PIE) or Sarasota (SRQ) — commercial arrivals at baggage claim and private-jet arrivals planeside at the FBOs — then run them straight to the room-block hotel. Arrivals stagger over two or three days, and we cover every one.
Which airport should our out-of-town guests fly into?
It depends on where the celebration sits. TPA carries the most flights and suits most guests; PIE is closer and quieter for a beach-side wedding; SRQ is the short hop for Longboat Key and Sarasota venues. We’ll tell you which to recommend for each group and put it in the guest travel note, so people land at the airport that keeps their transfer shortest.
Can you run shuttles for every event, not just the wedding day?
That’s the core of a destination package. We anchor a continuous shuttle loop to your base resort — the St. Regis on Longboat Key, the Don CeSar on the beach, the Sandpearl in Clearwater — and radiate the welcome party, ceremony, reception and any excursions out from that lobby, so guests always know where their ride starts and ends.
How do departures work when everyone flies home on different days?
We schedule send-offs against each guest’s actual outbound flight rather than one blanket checkout time. After the farewell brunch, departures stagger through the day so no group waits hours in a lobby and no one races the clock to a gate — the same manifest we met on arrival drives the trip home.
