Question

What should I know about getting around in Bermuda?

Answer

🚍 Getting Around Bermuda Bermuda is easy and fun to explore, but transportation works a little differently than in many places — here’s what you should know: 🛵 No Rental Cars (Except Tiny Electric Ones!) Visitors cannot rent standard cars in Bermuda. Instead, guests can rent small 2-seater electric microcars (like the Tazzari or Renegade) or scooters. These are great for short distances, but keep in mind: • Roads are narrow and winding • Driving is on the left side • Parking can be limited in popular areas They’re best for confident drivers who want flexibility. **Top tip: if you are planning on drinking, please do not plan on driving** ⛴️ Ferries — Scenic, Fast & Highly Recommended Bermuda’s ferry system is one of the easiest ways to get around and offers gorgeous views of the harbor. Ferries run between Hamilton, Dockyard, St. George’s, and a few smaller stops. • Runs frequently during the day • Clean, reliable, and breezy • Perfect for avoiding traffic This is often the most relaxing way for guests to travel between main areas of the island. 🚌 Public Buses — Easy & Island-Wide Buses connect almost all parts of Bermuda. They’re air-conditioned, safe, and budget-friendly. • They run on fixed schedules from early morning into the evening • Pick up a transportation pass for ease of use (cash works as well) • Great option for sightseeing or getting to beaches and landmarks 🚕 Taxis — Readily Available, But Limited at Peak Times Taxis are easy to find around hotels, the airport, Hamilton, and Dockyard. You can also call or use apps to request one. Just remember: • They can be scarce during late nights or big events • Fares are metered and regulated • Ideal for groups or when dressed up for events ✔️ Walking — Lovely in Towns • Not ideal for our venues, but take some time to walk through any of our 'cities' Hamilton, Dockyard or St Georges

Question

Answer

We are still working on this, but are planning to provide transportation from the ceremony to the reception.

Question

Are there big chain stores (like Target or Walmart) in Bermuda?

Answer

Nope! Bermuda is blissfully Target-free. There’s no Walmart, CVS, or anything with 47 aisles of convenience items that you didn’t know you needed. The island has small local shops and pharmacies, but they’re limited — so if you can’t live without a specific snack, sunscreen, or your favorite brand of toothpaste, pack it!

Question

When do Bermudian shops decide they’ve worked enough for the day?

Answer

Most stores in Bermuda close pretty early — usually around 5–6 PM, and even earlier on Sundays (if they open at all). But don’t worry! Restaurants and bars stay open later, so while you might not be able to buy sunscreen at night, you can absolutely still get a cocktail.

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

Answer

We love that you want to share the celebration! Please check your invitation — if a plus-one was included, it will appear by name or be noted as “and guest.” If not, we’re keeping the guest list limited to those who know us well. We hope you understand, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
