Wedding Transportation - A Perfect Wedding Planning

Home


Written by BeNice

Unless you are having your wedding in your home or your backyard you'll need to think about transportation. You'll need to plan transportation for both the bride and groom from their homes to the ceremony, then from the ceremony to the reception and finally from the reception back to your home (or possibly to the airport for your honeymoon).
Most people would rather not drive to their wedding themselves, so instead they rent limousines to get them around for the day. Prices can vary by location so check out a few different car services to work out exactly what you need and compare prices.

You may want to consider having only a pickup/drop off service rather than having the driver wait through the entire event. This option is usually far less expensive.

As far as style goes, there are more options than you can imagine. If you have a small wedding party or if price is a concern, a chauffeured town car is typically less expensive than a chauffeured limousine.

If you want to stick to the old standards, a stretch limousine is always appropriate. White and black are the typical colors available. If you need more room you can get the larger SUV models that are designed as extra-long Hummers or Expeditions.

If you want something extra formal or classy you can rent a Rolls Royce. Or perhaps you want something less formal but still flashy. There are companies that specialize in renting expensive sports cars and vintage cars. Think Mustangs, Cadillacs, and Lamborghinis.

Of course nothing makes an impression better than pulling up in a romantic horse drawn carriage for two. this option can be very expensive and we recommend seeing the carriage for yourself in advance to make sure it lives up to your expectations.

Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you ask the following questions:

Is the deposit refundable if we need to cancel for any reason?
Is gratuity included in the price? Will there be any food and a bottle of champagne?

Also be sure to work out the exact times the drivers should show up and make sure they have detailed directions to all locations.

Make sure you have them show up well in advance. Plan to leave a little early to avoid any possible delays. While it is expected and traditional for the bride to arrive a little tardy, you don't want to spend hours sitting in a traffic jam on your special day.
