Wedding airport transfer Gold Coast — CGC Kia Carnival for bridal party and family group transport

Wedding airport transfer Gold Coast coordination is one of CGC’s most-handled multi-vehicle scenarios. CGC Airport Transfers handles destination wedding airport transport across the Gold Coast, Tweed Coast and Byron Bay — multi-guest arrivals at Brisbane Airport (BNE) and Gold Coast Airport (OOL) coordinated against the wedding timeline.

Bridal party transport runs on Toyota RAV4 premium sedans and Kia Carnivals. Plus group cohorts run on 12-seater Transporters. Named drivers allocated weeks ahead with night-before SMS confirmations. So every guest at every airport arrives on schedule, with the right vehicle class for the right manifest.

The per-kilometre quote locks per vehicle at booking. Gateway Motorway toll on every BNE-bound run already sits inside the locked quote. Plus the after-hours fee on 9pm-to-5am pickups also sits inside the locked quote — relevant for pre-dawn international guest departures and post-midnight long-haul arrivals. Single combined invoice option for the wedding coordinator. No surge across the wedding weekend, no metered fare, no fuel levy, no last-minute booking surcharge.

Direct service to every major Gold Coast and Northern NSW wedding venue including Sanctuary Cove, the Sheraton Grand Mirage Main Beach, Palazzo Versace, JW Marriott Surfers Paradise, RACV Royal Pines Benowa, Bond University, Babalou Kingscliff, Osteria Casuarina, Halcyon House Cabarita, Rae’s on Wategos, The Byron at Byron and Cape Byron. NSW under-7 child restraints fitted on cross-border Northern NSW pickups under the harmonised national framework. 24/7. 5.0 stars from 43 Google reviews.

The Direct Answer on Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast

A Gold Coast or Northern NSW destination wedding airport transfer Gold Coast booking involves twenty to a hundred and fifty guests arriving in waves at Brisbane Airport and Gold Coast Airport over the three days before the wedding. Then they depart in waves over the two days after. CGC consolidates all of that movement under a single wedding booking. So the wedding coordinator (planner, couple or family lead) submits the rooming list, the guest manifest with each guest’s outbound and return flight number, the venue address and any bridal party or VIP requirements. Then CGC allocates the right vehicle mix — Toyota RAV4 premium sedans for couples and VIP arrivals, 7-seat Kia Carnivals for family groups with luggage, 12-seater Transporters for group cohorts — and builds a coordinated schedule. Plus pricing is per kilometre and vehicle-dependent, locked per vehicle at booking, with Gateway Motorway toll and after-hours fee already inside the locked figure. Single combined invoice closing the file after the wedding weekend. No last-minute booking surcharge. 24/7. 5.0 stars from 43 Google reviews.

What CGC Handles Across a Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast Weekend

The CGC wedding transport operation is not a list of individual rides — it is a coordinated multi-vehicle manifest run against the wedding timeline. The same booking system that allocates a Carnival to a Friday-arrival family of five also assigns a Toyota RAV4 premium sedan to a Saturday-morning bridal party hairstylist transfer. Plus a 12-seater Transporter to a Sunday-morning group of twelve departing back to BNE International. So the coordinator manages one CGC contact across the weekend rather than chasing twenty separate bookings.

Wedding transport components CGC typically coordinates

  • Out-of-town guest arrivals from interstate and overseas, coordinated against each flight’s landing time.
  • Bridal party transport for the bride, groom, parents, bridesmaids and groomsmen — often arriving on different flights at different times.
  • VIP arrivals for parents of the couple, immediate family, celebrants and any specific guests requiring white-glove service.
  • Multi-day movement across the wedding weekend — Thursday and Friday inbound arrivals, Saturday-of-the-wedding scheduled transfers where required, Sunday and Monday departures.
  • Hens’ and bucks’ weekend transport for pre-wedding celebration arrivals and departures.
  • Post-wedding departure waves over the 24 to 48 hours after the wedding, often with multiple guests departing on different flights from both BNE and OOL.
  • International guest coordination at BNE International long-haul arrivals — meet-and-greet with a CGC sign showing the guest’s surname, transfer direct to the wedding accommodation.
  • Cross-border transport for weddings on the Tweed Coast and in Byron Bay, with NSW under-7 child restraints fitted where the manifest includes a child under seven under the harmonised national framework.

How a Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast Booking Is Built

From initial enquiry to day-after invoice

  1. Initial enquiry — the wedding coordinator (planner, couple or family lead) contacts CGC with the wedding date, the venue, the venue accommodation, an approximate guest count and the airports involved (typically BNE, OOL or both).
  2. Guest manifest — the coordinator provides a rooming list or guest list with each guest’s outbound flight number, arrival airport, landing time and the relevant return flight on the way out. Bridal party, VIP and any specific requests (mobility, child seats, oversized gear) are flagged on the manifest.
  3. Vehicle allocation — CGC builds the vehicle mix against the manifest. Toyota RAV4 premium sedans for couples and VIP arrivals, Carnivals for family groups, Transporters for group cohorts.
  4. Locked per-vehicle quote — the wedding coordinator receives a written quote with per-vehicle line items and a wedding total. Plus Gateway Motorway toll on BNE-bound runs, after-hours fees, and any Christmas Day or Easter Sunday rate where applicable all already inside the locked figure. No last-minute booking surcharge.
  5. Booking confirmation — the manifest is locked on acceptance. From that point, no surge applies, no metered fare runs and no price variation is possible on the day.
  6. Named driver allocation — drivers are allocated to each vehicle one to two weeks before the wedding and the schedule is finalised internally.
  7. Night-before SMS confirmations — every guest with a CGC transfer the next day receives an SMS to their nominated mobile (or the coordinator’s mobile, depending on preference) with the named driver, the vehicle registration and the meeting-point or pickup-address instructions.
  8. Operational execution — the manifest runs across the wedding weekend with flight monitoring active on every inbound leg.
  9. Single combined invoice — issued to the wedding coordinator on the first business day after the wedding weekend, line-itemised per vehicle with the wedding reference on the cover page.

Pricing for Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast Bookings

Pricing is per kilometre and vehicle-dependent, calculated per vehicle on the specific pickup-to-destination road distance and locked at booking. So the wedding manifest produces a per-vehicle line and a wedding total. As a result, the coordinator approves a single locked figure covering every vehicle in the wedding manifest before the wedding weekend. Plus there is no day-of variation regardless of demand on a wedding Saturday, M1 traffic or weather conditions.

Adjustments confirmed at booking

  • After-hours fee for pickups between 9pm and 5am — already inside each affected vehicle’s locked quote.
  • Gateway Motorway toll on every BNE-bound run — already inside the locked quote. No separate toll-booth charge on the day.
  • Christmas Day and Easter Sunday — a higher rate applies on those two days only and is confirmed in the relevant vehicle line at booking.
  • Other public holidays — Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, ANZAC Day, the King’s Birthday public holiday all operate at the standard per-kilometre rate.
  • Weekend pickups — standard per-kilometre rate. Wedding Saturdays do not carry a separate adjustment.
  • Single combined invoice option — line-itemised per vehicle, with the wedding name or event code on the cover page.
  • No surge, no metered fare, no fuel levy, no toll surcharge, no last-minute booking surcharge applied on the day — same per-km rate today as 4 weeks ahead.

Real Scenario: Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast — Halcyon House Cabarita 38-Guest Weekend

The setup

A Saturday wedding at Halcyon House Cabarita Beach involves 38 guests across the weekend. The wedding planner (Sophie, the head wedding coordinator at Halcyon House) places the CGC booking eight weeks ahead with a single manifest covering all guest arrivals and departures.

The breakdown: 22 domestic guests arriving Thursday and Friday into Gold Coast Airport (OOL) on Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane services. Plus 10 international guests arriving Thursday and Friday into Brisbane Airport International (BNE) on long-haul services from London, Los Angeles and Singapore. Also 6 immediate-family guests arriving Wednesday on a mix of domestic OOL and BNE long-haul.

The vehicle configuration

CGC builds the multi-vehicle wedding manifest. Thursday: two Carnivals run consecutive OOL inbound transfers for eight Sydney and Melbourne guests. Plus one Transporter runs a BNE inbound long-haul transfer for the four London guests arriving on the QF1 service. Also a Toyota RAV4 handles the bride’s parents arriving on a Brisbane long-haul.

Friday: another Transporter handles the LAX cohort. Plus two Carnivals handle the second wave of Sydney guests. Also a Toyota RAV4 handles a VIP guest with mobility assistance arriving on a Singapore Airlines service.

Saturday on-property and Sunday-Monday departure waves

Saturday (wedding day): no airport transfers are scheduled — all guests are on-property at Halcyon House or staying nearby. Sunday and Monday: the post-wedding departure manifest runs in reverse, with two Transporters handling the larger group departures back to OOL and BNE. Plus a fleet of Carnivals running the smaller-group return legs.

The locked quote

The locked quote across the entire weekend covers six different vehicles operating across the wedding window — two Transporters, three Carnivals and a Toyota RAV4. Plus Gateway Motorway toll on the BNE-bound runs already inside the locked quote. Also the after-hours fees on three pre-dawn international departures already inside the locked figure. No last-minute booking surcharge.

Operational execution

NSW under-7 child restraints fitted on the Cabarita-area transfers where the manifest includes children under seven under the harmonised national framework. Plus every guest is met at the arrivals hall by a named CGC driver holding a sign with their surname.

Single combined invoice and outcome

The wedding planner receives a single combined invoice on the Tuesday after the wedding, line-itemised per vehicle, with the wedding name on the cover page. Outcome: 38 guests across two airports, six vehicles, three days, with the wedding planner managing a single CGC contact and approving a single locked figure weeks before the wedding. So the day-of operation is mechanical, the financial reconciliation is one invoice, and the wedding-weekend transport never becomes a planning issue for the couple.

Frequently Asked Questions on Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast

Can CGC coordinate guest arrivals across multiple flights and both airports for a wedding airport transfer Gold Coast booking?

Yes. The wedding coordinator provides the rooming list or guest manifest with each guest’s outbound flight number, arrival airport, landing time and return flight. So CGC reserves the right vehicle mix across BNE and OOL and builds a coordinated schedule that delivers each guest to the wedding accommodation inside the relevant arrival window. Plus named-driver SMS confirmations are sent the night before each transfer.

Do you offer group rates for weddings?

The CGC pricing model is per kilometre and vehicle-dependent. So the wedding total is built up from the per-vehicle quotes for every vehicle in the manifest, locked at booking. As a result, larger wedding manifests typically produce a strong per-passenger figure compared to individual rideshare bookings — particularly when the manifest includes group cohorts handled in 12-seater Transporters and 7-seat Kia Carnivals.

Can the bridal party and VIP guests have a specific vehicle?

Yes. Toyota RAV4 premium sedans are allocated for the couple, parents of the bride and groom, and VIP guests where the wedding coordinator requests it (1-3 passengers, 2 check-in + 2 carry-on bags). Plus bridal party transport is generally handled on a 7-seat Kia Carnival or, for larger bridal parties, a 12-seater Transporter. So vehicle preferences are flagged at booking and held against the relevant guest line in the manifest.

What if a guest’s flight is delayed across the wedding weekend?

Automatic flight monitoring is built into every inbound booking on the wedding manifest. So the driver’s pickup adjusts in real time at no extra charge. There is no need for the guest or the wedding coordinator to make any phone call — the system tracks the change and the driver waits at the arrivals hall.

Can the wedding manifest cover outbound and return for every guest?

Yes. The standard practice is to book the inbound and return legs for every guest at the same time. So this locks the per-kilometre quote in both directions and automatically inherits the flight monitoring setting on the return leg once each return flight number is added.

How far ahead should the wedding be booked?

Four to eight weeks ahead is generally ideal for a standard 20-40 guest wedding manifest. For larger weddings (50+ guests, multi-vehicle from multiple addresses) and peak windows (Saturdays during the September-April Gold Coast wedding season, Easter weekend, Bluesfest weekend, school holiday windows), eight to twelve weeks ahead is recommended. Plus no last-minute booking surcharge — same per-km rate today as 4 weeks ahead.

Can we get one consolidated invoice for the wedding transport?

Yes. A single combined invoice option is standard for wedding bookings, line-itemised per vehicle with the wedding reference (couple’s name or event code) on the cover page. So whether the couple, the wedding planner or the family is paying, the invoice is issued to the nominated billing contact on the first business day after the wedding weekend.

What about elderly relatives needing mobility assistance?

Flag any mobility requirement at booking against the specific guest line. The 7-seat Kia Carnival is the default senior-friendly vehicle with a higher seating position and wider sliding door opening than a sedan. Plus the driver provides mobility assistance at the kerb and the terminal. For details see our senior airport transfers page.

Are NSW under-7 child restraints fitted for Tweed Coast and Byron Bay weddings?

Yes. NSW requires children under seven to travel in an approved age-appropriate restraint under the harmonised national framework. So CGC fits NSW under-7 compliant Australian-Standards seats on every cross-border pickup where the manifest includes a child under seven. Flag children’s ages and approximate weights against the relevant guest line at booking.

Can CGC also handle hens’ and bucks’ weekend transport?

Yes. The same CGC manifest can include hens’ weekend and bucks’ weekend transport — group inbound and return transfers, multi-stop pickup across multiple hotels or holiday rentals, and 12-seater Transporter allocations where the group size requires it. So the combined invoice covers the wedding plus the pre-wedding event transport on a single closure.

Is the Gateway Motorway toll on the BNE run inside the CGC wedding quote?

Yes. Gateway Motorway toll on every BNE-bound CGC run is already inside the locked per-km quote — no separate toll-booth charge on arrival, no separate line item on the wedding invoice. Plus after-hours fee on 9pm-to-5am pickups also inside the locked quote.

The per-kilometre quote locks per vehicle at booking. Gateway Motorway toll on every BNE-bound run already sits inside the locked quote. Plus the after-hours fee on 9pm-to-5am pickups also sits inside the locked quote — relevant for pre-dawn international guest departures and post-midnight long-haul arrivals.

The Direct Answer on Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast

A Gold Coast or Northern NSW destination wedding airport transfer Gold Coast booking involves twenty to a hundred and fifty guests arriving in waves at Brisbane Airport and Gold Coast Airport over the three days before the wedding. Then they depart in waves over the two days after. CGC consolidates all of that movement under a single wedding booking. So the wedding coordinator (planner, couple or family lead) submits the rooming list, the guest manifest with each guest’s outbound and return flight number, the venue address and any bridal party or VIP requirements. Then CGC allocates the right vehicle mix — Toyota RAV4 premium sedans for couples and VIP arrivals, 7-seat Kia Carnivals for family groups with luggage, 12-seater Transporters for group cohorts — and builds a coordinated schedule. Plus pricing is per kilometre and vehicle-dependent, locked per vehicle at booking, with Gateway Motorway toll and after-hours fee already inside the locked figure. Single combined invoice closing the file after the wedding weekend. No last-minute booking surcharge. 24/7. 5.0 stars from 43 Google reviews.

What CGC Handles Across a Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast Weekend

The CGC wedding transport operation is not a list of individual rides — it is a coordinated multi-vehicle manifest run against the wedding timeline. The same booking system that allocates a Carnival to a Friday-arrival family of five also assigns a Toyota RAV4 premium sedan to a Saturday-morning bridal party hairstylist transfer. Plus a 12-seater Transporter to a Sunday-morning group of twelve departing back to BNE International. So the coordinator manages one CGC contact across the weekend rather than chasing twenty separate bookings.

Wedding transport components CGC typically coordinates

  • Out-of-town guest arrivals from interstate and overseas, coordinated against each flight’s landing time.
  • Bridal party transport for the bride, groom, parents, bridesmaids and groomsmen — often arriving on different flights at different times.
  • VIP arrivals for parents of the couple, immediate family, celebrants and any specific guests requiring white-glove service.
  • Multi-day movement across the wedding weekend — Thursday and Friday inbound arrivals, Saturday-of-the-wedding scheduled transfers where required, Sunday and Monday departures.
  • Hens’ and bucks’ weekend transport for pre-wedding celebration arrivals and departures.
  • Post-wedding departure waves over the 24 to 48 hours after the wedding, often with multiple guests departing on different flights from both BNE and OOL.
  • International guest coordination at BNE International long-haul arrivals — meet-and-greet with a CGC sign showing the guest’s surname, transfer direct to the wedding accommodation.
  • Cross-border transport for weddings on the Tweed Coast and in Byron Bay, with NSW under-7 child restraints fitted where the manifest includes a child under seven under the harmonised national framework.

How a Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast Booking Is Built

From initial enquiry to day-after invoice

  1. Initial enquiry — the wedding coordinator (planner, couple or family lead) contacts CGC with the wedding date, the venue, the venue accommodation, an approximate guest count and the airports involved (typically BNE, OOL or both).
  2. Guest manifest — the coordinator provides a rooming list or guest list with each guest’s outbound flight number, arrival airport, landing time and the relevant return flight on the way out. Bridal party, VIP and any specific requests (mobility, child seats, oversized gear) are flagged on the manifest.
  3. Vehicle allocation — CGC builds the vehicle mix against the manifest. Toyota RAV4 premium sedans for couples and VIP arrivals, Carnivals for family groups, Transporters for group cohorts.
  4. Locked per-vehicle quote — the wedding coordinator receives a written quote with per-vehicle line items and a wedding total. Plus Gateway Motorway toll on BNE-bound runs, after-hours fees, and any Christmas Day or Easter Sunday rate where applicable all already inside the locked figure. No last-minute booking surcharge.
  5. Booking confirmation — the manifest is locked on acceptance. From that point, no surge applies, no metered fare runs and no price variation is possible on the day.
  6. Named driver allocation — drivers are allocated to each vehicle one to two weeks before the wedding and the schedule is finalised internally.
  7. Night-before SMS confirmations — every guest with a CGC transfer the next day receives an SMS to their nominated mobile (or the coordinator’s mobile, depending on preference) with the named driver, the vehicle registration and the meeting-point or pickup-address instructions.
  8. Operational execution — the manifest runs across the wedding weekend with flight monitoring active on every inbound leg.
  9. Single combined invoice — issued to the wedding coordinator on the first business day after the wedding weekend, line-itemised per vehicle with the wedding reference on the cover page.

Pricing for Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast Bookings

Pricing is per kilometre and vehicle-dependent, calculated per vehicle on the specific pickup-to-destination road distance and locked at booking. So the wedding manifest produces a per-vehicle line and a wedding total. As a result, the coordinator approves a single locked figure covering every vehicle in the wedding manifest before the wedding weekend. Plus there is no day-of variation regardless of demand on a wedding Saturday, M1 traffic or weather conditions.

Adjustments confirmed at booking

  • After-hours fee for pickups between 9pm and 5am — already inside each affected vehicle’s locked quote.
  • Gateway Motorway toll on every BNE-bound run — already inside the locked quote. No separate toll-booth charge on the day.
  • Christmas Day and Easter Sunday — a higher rate applies on those two days only and is confirmed in the relevant vehicle line at booking.
  • Other public holidays — Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, ANZAC Day, the King’s Birthday public holiday all operate at the standard per-kilometre rate.
  • Weekend pickups — standard per-kilometre rate. Wedding Saturdays do not carry a separate adjustment.
  • Single combined invoice option — line-itemised per vehicle, with the wedding name or event code on the cover page.
  • No surge, no metered fare, no fuel levy, no toll surcharge, no last-minute booking surcharge applied on the day — same per-km rate today as 4 weeks ahead.

Real Scenario: Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast — Halcyon House Cabarita 38-Guest Weekend

The setup

A Saturday wedding at Halcyon House Cabarita Beach involves 38 guests across the weekend. The wedding planner (Sophie, the head wedding coordinator at Halcyon House) places the CGC booking eight weeks ahead with a single manifest covering all guest arrivals and departures.

The breakdown: 22 domestic guests arriving Thursday and Friday into Gold Coast Airport (OOL) on Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane services. Plus 10 international guests arriving Thursday and Friday into Brisbane Airport International (BNE) on long-haul services from London, Los Angeles and Singapore. Also 6 immediate-family guests arriving Wednesday on a mix of domestic OOL and BNE long-haul.

The vehicle configuration

CGC builds the multi-vehicle wedding manifest. Thursday: two Carnivals run consecutive OOL inbound transfers for eight Sydney and Melbourne guests. Plus one Transporter runs a BNE inbound long-haul transfer for the four London guests arriving on the QF1 service. Also a Toyota RAV4 handles the bride’s parents arriving on a Brisbane long-haul.

Friday: another Transporter handles the LAX cohort. Plus two Carnivals handle the second wave of Sydney guests. Also a Toyota RAV4 handles a VIP guest with mobility assistance arriving on a Singapore Airlines service.

Saturday on-property and Sunday-Monday departure waves

Saturday (wedding day): no airport transfers are scheduled — all guests are on-property at Halcyon House or staying nearby. Sunday and Monday: the post-wedding departure manifest runs in reverse, with two Transporters handling the larger group departures back to OOL and BNE. Plus a fleet of Carnivals running the smaller-group return legs.

The locked quote

The locked quote across the entire weekend covers six different vehicles operating across the wedding window — two Transporters, three Carnivals and a Toyota RAV4. Plus Gateway Motorway toll on the BNE-bound runs already inside the locked quote. Also the after-hours fees on three pre-dawn international departures already inside the locked figure. No last-minute booking surcharge.

Operational execution

NSW under-7 child restraints fitted on the Cabarita-area transfers where the manifest includes children under seven under the harmonised national framework. Plus every guest is met at the arrivals hall by a named CGC driver holding a sign with their surname.

Single combined invoice and outcome

The wedding planner receives a single combined invoice on the Tuesday after the wedding, line-itemised per vehicle, with the wedding name on the cover page. Outcome: 38 guests across two airports, six vehicles, three days, with the wedding planner managing a single CGC contact and approving a single locked figure weeks before the wedding. So the day-of operation is mechanical, the financial reconciliation is one invoice, and the wedding-weekend transport never becomes a planning issue for the couple.

Frequently Asked Questions on Wedding Airport Transfer Gold Coast

Can CGC coordinate guest arrivals across multiple flights and both airports for a wedding airport transfer Gold Coast booking?

Yes. The wedding coordinator provides the rooming list or guest manifest with each guest’s outbound flight number, arrival airport, landing time and return flight. So CGC reserves the right vehicle mix across BNE and OOL and builds a coordinated schedule that delivers each guest to the wedding accommodation inside the relevant arrival window. Plus named-driver SMS confirmations are sent the night before each transfer.

Do you offer group rates for weddings?

The CGC pricing model is per kilometre and vehicle-dependent. So the wedding total is built up from the per-vehicle quotes for every vehicle in the manifest, locked at booking. As a result, larger wedding manifests typically produce a strong per-passenger figure compared to individual rideshare bookings — particularly when the manifest includes group cohorts handled in 12-seater Transporters and 7-seat Kia Carnivals.

Can the bridal party and VIP guests have a specific vehicle?

Yes. Toyota RAV4 premium sedans are allocated for the couple, parents of the bride and groom, and VIP guests where the wedding coordinator requests it (1-3 passengers, 2 check-in + 2 carry-on bags). Plus bridal party transport is generally handled on a 7-seat Kia Carnival or, for larger bridal parties, a 12-seater Transporter. So vehicle preferences are flagged at booking and held against the relevant guest line in the manifest.

What if a guest’s flight is delayed across the wedding weekend?

Automatic flight monitoring is built into every inbound booking on the wedding manifest. So the driver’s pickup adjusts in real time at no extra charge. There is no need for the guest or the wedding coordinator to make any phone call — the system tracks the change and the driver waits at the arrivals hall.

Can the wedding manifest cover outbound and return for every guest?

Yes. The standard practice is to book the inbound and return legs for every guest at the same time. So this locks the per-kilometre quote in both directions and automatically inherits the flight monitoring setting on the return leg once each return flight number is added.

How far ahead should the wedding be booked?

Four to eight weeks ahead is generally ideal for a standard 20-40 guest wedding manifest. For larger weddings (50+ guests, multi-vehicle from multiple addresses) and peak windows (Saturdays during the September-April Gold Coast wedding season, Easter weekend, Bluesfest weekend, school holiday windows), eight to twelve weeks ahead is recommended. Plus no last-minute booking surcharge — same per-km rate today as 4 weeks ahead.

Can we get one consolidated invoice for the wedding transport?

Yes. A single combined invoice option is standard for wedding bookings, line-itemised per vehicle with the wedding reference (couple’s name or event code) on the cover page. So whether the couple, the wedding planner or the family is paying, the invoice is issued to the nominated billing contact on the first business day after the wedding weekend.

What about elderly relatives needing mobility assistance?

Flag any mobility requirement at booking against the specific guest line. The 7-seat Kia Carnival is the default senior-friendly vehicle with a higher seating position and wider sliding door opening than a sedan. Plus the driver provides mobility assistance at the kerb and the terminal. For details see our senior airport transfers page.

Are NSW under-7 child restraints fitted for Tweed Coast and Byron Bay weddings?

Yes. NSW requires children under seven to travel in an approved age-appropriate restraint under the harmonised national framework. So CGC fits NSW under-7 compliant Australian-Standards seats on every cross-border pickup where the manifest includes a child under seven. Flag children’s ages and approximate weights against the relevant guest line at booking.

Can CGC also handle hens’ and bucks’ weekend transport?

Yes. The same CGC manifest can include hens’ weekend and bucks’ weekend transport — group inbound and return transfers, multi-stop pickup across multiple hotels or holiday rentals, and 12-seater Transporter allocations where the group size requires it. So the combined invoice covers the wedding plus the pre-wedding event transport on a single closure.

Is the Gateway Motorway toll on the BNE run inside the CGC wedding quote?

Yes. Gateway Motorway toll on every BNE-bound CGC run is already inside the locked per-km quote — no separate toll-booth charge on arrival, no separate line item on the wedding invoice. Plus after-hours fee on 9pm-to-5am pickups also inside the locked quote.
