Limo Service for Your Wedding

Hiring a limousine for your wedding can be one of the most memorable, luxurious parts of the big day. And to make sure that it’s memorable in all the best ways here’s a handy guide to getting the perfect limo rides for your wedding day, including suggestions for who goes in the limo at a wedding.

Book Early

Finding the right limo service and the right price can be tricky, especially during the wedding or event seasons. So, start as soon as you know what size your bridal party is likely to be and where the venue will be.

Booking a limousine early is the key to making sure you can get the car you really want before it’s rented to anyone else. Also, it may take some time to meet with potential car services, and you want to be sure you have time to read and understand contracts without feeling rushed.

Pick the Right Ride

There are different limousines for different personalities and for different styles of wedding. From traditional black limos to sleek town cars to party buses, matching the right vehicle to your style is key to having the most fun with it. Finding a service and driver who matches your style and budget will also help you enjoy your time with them.

Meet with limousine services in your area in person to look at their vehicle options. Know the size of wedding party or number of people you want to transport, as well as how long you will need to pay for services so the limousine service can find you the right options and give you an accurate quote.

Know Your Venues

If you know where you’re going and how to get there, your limo driver can ensure a smooth ride. Make note of potential traffic delays on the road between destinations – such as construction and common rush hour traffic backups. And when checking out the actual venues, note things like how you should approach and leave the parking or drop-off locations.

Things may look different on the day of the wedding when vendors’ vehicles and guests will be filling the area too. So make note of alternate locations where you could direct the driver.

Leave Buffers of Time

Wedding day timelines can get very messy once the festivities begin. Underestimating how long it will take to get the pictures taken, to get bridal party members ready to leave and to cross city traffic can all add to your stress and make it hard for your driver to deliver you on time.

Allowing between 15 and 30 extra minutes in your timeline for each pickup will go far in keeping you on schedule and reducing stress. Do you have some notoriously late bridal party members? Build in extra time at their relevant stops.

Who Goes in the Limo at a Wedding?

While most people think about transportation for the bride, groom, and bridal party, don’t forget others who could use a lift to the venue. How will your attendants get to and from the venue? Will everyone be traveling together, or will separate trips be necessary? How will everyone get home? What of other family members? Will Mom and Dad expect to ride in the limo, too?

If you have the time and budget available, add a special treat for special guests, too. Sending a limo to pick up Grandma or your BFF shows how much you love them and want them to enjoy your wedding. It doesn’t take a lot of planning to ensure a fantastic transportation experience for any bridal couple. Start by contacting an experienced limousine service in your area.
