Example wedding-day transport flow — Ottery St Mary
A calm template you can adapt. Buffer-first timing beats “we’ll wing it” every time.
| Time | Plan | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 09:30 | Chauffeur arrives, vehicle check & ribbon fit (if requested) | Build in a calm buffer: dress entry, last-minute adjustments, and a quick route check for roadworks/one-way systems. |
| 10:00 | Pickup for the couple / bridal party near Long Range Hotel | Allow 5–10 minutes for getting in comfortably (especially with a dress) and a quick photo moment at pickup before departing. |
| 10:20 | Short car-photos slot (optional) | A planned 5–10 minute slot keeps the day relaxed and avoids squeezing photos into the ceremony arrival window. |
| 11:00 | Arrive early for the ceremony at or near Saint Mary with Saint Andrew | Aim to arrive 20–30 minutes early. It protects against traffic, parking delays and last-minute venue changes. |
| 12:30 | Confetti + couple photos with the car | Plan around 10 minutes. If the weather turns, keeping this tighter helps everyone stay comfortable and on schedule. |
| 13:00 | Short scenic photo stop near Authentic Saxon Village (optional) | A 10–15 minute stop can create brilliant images. Always check access and photography permissions, and keep timings flexible if traffic is heavier. |
| 14:00 | Reception arrival at Cadhay + vehicle presentation | If guests are arriving separately, using Feniton (or another clear pickup point) can make directions easier. For the couple: allow 2–3 minutes for arrival photos. |
| 16:00 | Optional second trip (late arrivals / family) or evening pickup | If you need a second run, confirming passenger numbers and timings early helps keep waits predictable and routing sensible. |
