Flying-- there are 3 airports nearby--Barcelona (BCN), Girona (GRO) and at a stretch, Perpignan (PGF).
Many of you will be flying into Barcelona but for those of you in the vicinity of an airport that Ryanair services, you will probably want to consider Girona, or Perpignan. Girona is right next door to Banyoles and Ryanair is generally very inexpensive.
Buses-- there are buses that will run from Barcelona, Girona and Perpignan to Banyoles.
You can check the timetables of the buses Barcelona-Banyoles at: http://www.teisa-bus.com/
(the same company also goes to Girona, Besalú, Olot, etc.)

Car rental-- renting a car is also an option and it's a pretty straightforward affair. Be warned: do not take the cheapest rental company, because everyone else will be taking it. Driving in Spain is no worse than driving in most European countries--don't worry, it's nothing like driving in southern Italy. You'll be fine.
Do, however, take insurance, because Spaniards do not know how to park. (No offense to the Spaniards.)

A couple of transport scenarios:

Bob and Jill are just coming for the weekend and will just hang out in Banyoles. They are flying into Barcelona airport. They've had a rough week and don't want to wait around too much, so they take a taxi from the airport to the city bus station. From there, the bus will take about an hour.
Jorge and Roxanne are flying into Girona on Ryanair. They want to do some exploring, like maybe visit the Dali Museum in nearby Figueres. So they rent a car.
Other transport considerations
We will rent some a minibus for the event to take people to the wedding--it's on the other side of the lake from the town--as well as to the reception and later back to where you're staying.
Depending on the timing, we may be in a position to pick people up from the airports. But that all depends on people are arriving, etc Please let us know how we can help you with the logistic arrangements.
