If traveling with young families, get a house from Airbnb or Vrbo
It’s MUCH easier to keep the party going past bedtime when everyone is under one roof. In a hotel, parents with young kids have to retire to the room when their kiddos are ready for bed. But in a short-term rental, they can stay up with the rest of the group.
Make shuttle arrangements ahead of time
If you’re staying at a nearby resort, talk with the front desk about arranging a shuttle to/from The Exchange on your wedding day for your guests. Alternatively, you can call Lake Ride Pros to ensure your guests get home safely. Uber/Lyft are also available but can be spotty - depending on the season.
Consider a yacht for your honeymoon suite
Nothing screams “We got married at The Lake!” quite like spending your first night together in a yacht.
