It’s wedding season! Love is in the air and you are going to be a beautiful bride and a fun-loving groom. Your wedding will be perfect, but you must remember to dot every “I” and cross every “T.” You are busy thinking about the music, flowers, bridal party, food, dress, and your vows. You have the limo ready and the deposits in. When you sit down with your parents to discuss the events of the day and where you want to seat the grandparents and their friends, your parents ask you how your grandparents will get to the event and home, since they and the rest of the family will be too busy with other preparations. Furthermore, what other accommodations will be needed to help them enjoy your special day as much as you do?
Ramps and Seats
Accommodating the elderly at a special event, such as a wedding is one task that should never be overlooked. First, you want to choose a venue that is accessible to everyone. Even when your grandparents are able bodied, steps (Especially in evening wear) may be a bit difficult to master. Since your grandparents are an essential part of your family and event, chose a venue that has either ramps, elevators, or is level with the ground.
When designing the seating charts, make sure you sit your grandparents and their friends away from the speakers but close enough to the action. You do not want them to be the table way in the back corner as that will be difficult to get to and from and will keep them out of eyesight of all of the excitement. A good place is often the back border of the dance floor. They will have a front row seat without being too close to the music.
Transportation
Making sure your grandparents have a way to move about and have the best place to sit will not mean anything if your grandparents cannot get to your ceremony and reception. This is where Allegiance Transportation can be the most useful service available. The idea is to have our service pick your grandparents up at their home at the scheduled time and bring them to the ceremony. If your ceremony is in a different location than the reception, we can wait and then transport Grandma and Grandpa wherever they need to go next to make sure they are in the right place at the right time and ready to enjoy the day. Allegiance Transportation will relieve any worries that you and your family may have about making sure they get to wherever they need to be.
For your big day, remember the little things, like accommodating your grandparents. Contact the experts at Allegiance Transportation at 651-207-5211 to make sure they are picked up and dropped off on time with door to door service, caring to their transport needs in any way possible.
