TRANSPORTATION INCLUSIVE RATE With a Transportation Inclusive Group Rate, the Courtyard Basking Ridge will provide and coordinate shuttle service for
your guests to and from the * WEDDING VENUE * if 11 or more rooms are reserved in the block. Shuttle service is
provided by a 3rd party transportation company and is ordered specifically for your group. The shuttle schedule will be
organized after your cut off date, once all reservations in the room block have been made. The Transportation Company
owns a wide variety of vehicles including large shuttle busses and coach busses- vehicle type is determined based on
the size of the room block.
Shuttle details are below:
Transportation is available to a coach bus accessible venue on the WEDDING DAY. If a minimum of 11 rooms are reserved at the
group rate on the day of your event, transportation will be provided to take your attendees to and from the WEDDING VENUE. One
vehicle, large enough to transport all guests in two trips from the Courtyard Basking Ridge to your WEDDING VENUE, and back,
will be provided for your guests. The size/capacity of the vehicle utilized will be determined based on an average of two people per
room. Overtime (exceeding 7 hours) is available at an added cost ($100 per hour). Requests for more than (1) vehicle on the
WEDDING DAY can be accommodated at an additional cost. Please reach out to your Event Specialist for advice on which
Transportation Company to contact to coordinate additional vehicles.
A specific departure and pick-up time will be required two weeks prior to your function. The allotted time for the shuttle service is
seven (7) consecutive hours. (Transportation is based on the room pick-up, the type/size of vehicle may vary at hotel’s discretion).
If the eleven minimum rooms are not reserved for the day of your event at the group rate by the cutoff date, transportation can be
arranged through the preferred vendor at an additional cost. If Bridal Party transportation does not fall within the 7 hour window,
vehicles can be arranged through your Event Specialist at an additional cost. If this occurs, any rooms booked under the
transportation rate will be adjusted to honor the lowest available weekend rate.
If *Wedding Party* does not meet the minimum required amount of eleven (11) rooms by the CUTOFF date, the shuttle will be
released.
Please Note: 1) Only the guests that book within the wedding room block will be able to take advantage of the shuttle service, as this
is a concession available to guests that book in the group block only. 2) Shuttle inclusive rates may be higher than hotel’s regular
rate.
