When most of the guest list is coming from away.
A destination wedding website has a different job. It has to get people there, house them, and fill their Saturday morning — before anybody texts you about it.
Almost every Maine wedding is a destination wedding
That turns the wedding website from a nicety into the thing holding the weekend together. Which airport. How long the drive really takes on a Friday in August. Where to sleep when the venue has no rooms and the nearest town is twenty minutes away. What to do with the extra day they took off.
Answer it once, properly, and you stop answering it forty times individually — which is the actual gift a destination wedding website gives you.
What a destination wedding website has to do
Name the right airport
Guests default to whichever one they have heard of and cost themselves two hours in the car. Telling them plainly is worth real money to them.
Give real drive times
Not what the map says on a Tuesday. What it takes on a Friday afternoon in season.
Solve lodging
Options at more than one price, with honest distances, and a clear warning if rooms need booking early.
Written last-mile directions
The part where phone service dies and the GPS gives up. A pin is not enough.
Fill the free day
Guests took a day off and travelled. A short list of what to actually do is the page people screenshot.
Answer the shuttle question
Whether there is one, where it leaves from, and what time it comes back.
