No-Sweat Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Transportation and Limousines

Figuring out which wedding transportation and limousines to use on your most special day doesn’t have to make you want to elope, or worse, call off the wedding. It just takes a little planning. Wipe those beads off your brow, bride-to-be, the following tips will help.

The most important thing of all is timing. To be certain you have the wheels of your dreams on your wedding day, you need to make arrangements for your wedding transportation and limousines at least six months in advance.

If you’re getting married during the prom and peak wedding months, you’d be smart to book your transportation eight to twelve months before your wedding date.

With choices ranging from bright yellow Hummers to little red Corvettes, it’s a good idea to talk this over with your fiancé. Because if he’s thinking sports cars and you’re thinking Mercedes limousines, you want to know before it creates a problem between the two of you. Choosing transportation and limousines that appeals to you both will guarantee an enjoyable ride on your special day.

Also, you need to know who and how many people will need limousines, so start counting. You can’t know how many sets of wheels you’ll need until you do. Passenger limitations are another consideration. A sports car for the two of you might be exactly what you want, but you’ll probably want limos for the rest of your wedding party. They accommodate more people. Still, be sure you know the exact number of passenger seats that are available per vehicle. You’d be horrified if your maid of honor was late because she had to catch a cab!

Now about rates. Can you say comparison shop? Good, start calling and find out who has the best rates for limousines. They can range anywhere from $50 to $200—or more! Decide on a budget and stick to it, even if it means that sweet Hummer limo has to go. And make sure you know what services are provided in the rate.

Another thing to remember is you need to provide wedding transportation and limousines for the 3 phases of your wedding day. First, you need a transportation plan for getting to the ceremony for yourself and your bridesmaids and another plan for the groom and his chums. Second, you’ll need to make arrangements for everyone to travel to the reception. And third, you’ll need to offer post-reception travel arrangements, especially if alcohol will be served.

If you’re still sweating, don’t forget you aren’t in this alone. Companies who provide wedding transportation and limousines will help you. A good wedding planner will too. And, if all else fails, you can always ask your mom for a helping hand.
