Wotton House, Hartsfield Manor, the Mercure Box Hill — Dorking’s wedding venues are beautiful, but they’re also spread across country lanes with limited parking and, often, no ride home built in.

For guests, that usually means one of two choices: stay sober enough to drive, or arrange a lift home in advance. Booking a taxi solves it cleanly — you can enjoy the evening properly, and there’s no fumbling for a cab number at 11pm with patchy signal in the countryside.

It also takes pressure off whoever’s getting married. Guests sorting their own transport, booked ahead of time, means one less thing on a day that already has enough moving parts.

If you’re planning a wedding locally, it’s worth mentioning to guests in the invite that transport is easy to arrange — a small note that saves a lot of last-minute texts.
