Building the timing plan
The first two things we look at are the ceremony time and the venue's own timetable. Working back from those, we map out when the bride leaves, the earlier trips for bridesmaids and mothers, and transport for any guests who haven't sorted their own.
The day runs on two rules. Be early for every pickup, and put spare time into whichever leg matters most. Twenty minutes parked outside a house costs nothing at all, whereas turning up five minutes late can wreck the whole morning.
We write the whole schedule down and confirm it with the person coordinating, who's normally a planner, the best man or one of the parents. On the day itself, the couple shouldn't have to field a single question about cars.
