When you’re busy making plans for a wedding, it may seem that every detail is something major. A lot of those seemingly major decisions end upswept in the planning, most importantly transportation. You need to consider how your bridal party and other people at the wedding will get around on your big day.

Making a big entrance and impressive wedding limos aside, you will need to be aware of the exact route you will take from the ceremony to your reception. You need to know how you will travel and before you do that, you need to find the right company, making the first steps. The following examples will give you a few pointers, so you can get things done right:

• Book Your Limo Online

There is a reason why ordering online is convenient and easy. You can have a copy of the reservation and confirmation done on your phone or computer, but when you book online, you should screenshot the details of the order, as well as the pertinent confirmation information. When this is done, the information will be easy to find and access, whenever you feel like it. Brides or grooms who share the screenshot can also keep people informed of the plans and where the limo is going.

• Ask For A Backup Route Plan

Although it may seem like overkill, since you will trust the driving service to know your immediate area, having a route plan will help select the best route from point A to point B. A backup plan will account for heavy traffic, unseen road accidents and other issues. Your wedding may be planned ahead of time, but unexpected circumstances happen, so you would do well to have a backup plan just in case.

• Research the Limo Company

Since not every service will have what you need, some may even be downright disappointing. You should ask a few important questions before you commit and hire one. Can you decorate the vehicle? Will all your guests fit inside? Can you take photos inside? Is the car of your choice available on your wedding day? Can the car be in the wedding photos? With a good and classy limo ride, you won’t have to worry about transportation at all. You want a company that arrives on time and gets the job done right.

• Figure Out Who Needs Transport

Though the bride and bridal party are the main stars of the limo’s arrival, you need to consider how everyone else will be transported. There is also the need to take multiple venues in mind. How will the group get from the ceremony to the reception, if the limo ride is private? Consider the newlyweds, but also the wedding party, both sets of parents, grandparents and siblings as you get your plans prepared. 

If you want to be especially considerate to your guests, you can hire a limo to transport the out-of-town guests as well. For a more budget-oriented approach, you should consider renting a party bus, instead of using separate transportation for a lot of guests. You could also use the limo service as a way to have a little privacy and comfort with your new spouse. It will give you breathing room before the main event and the start of the party.

• Book Ahead of Time

This is something very important to keep in mind. Whenever graduation season or proms arrive, limos are hired all the time, so you may need to schedule months in advance if you want to even have a free slot to have your limo ride.

Your city or town may have different wedding transportation options, but the most impressive and elegant of all remains the limo. After all, pulling up to your wedding in a limo carries the same importance as choosing your suit and dress, the theme of the wedding, the accessories and so much more. This is a day to remember, so arriving and leaving in style should be a core memory of that event. You can take a few steps to make the right choice of a limo early on, so let’s cover the seven steps:

Choose a Limo Service With Variety

Limousine services that offer variety are the kind you need. Depending on the wedding transportation needs, your choice of vehicle may vary. Colour and style, as well as the car’s size, may be important when you make your choice. Couples often go for themed weddings, where colour combinations and a limo that matches those can work quite well together.

Picking a budget

One of the important bits of any wedding is budgeting and planning. Knowing how much you can set aside for a luxurious limousine is what will drive your choice when you pick a company. Most of the businesses out there charge by the hour, so you will likely need at least 5-6 hours worth, depending on your situation. Set your price range beforehand and contact a company early on to figure things out.

Wedding Packages

Most limo services offer packages for weddings, so there may be a good deal right around the corner. If you need multiple vehicles, this is the way to go. There may be additional services offered as part of the package.

Consider Checking the Reviews

If you know another couple satisfied with a company, you should ask them for references and reviews. That may spare you some time looking for the proper business. Check reviews and decide which one will work best, focusing on licensed and insured limo services. Another thing worth noting is the cancellation policy, in case you need to negate your plans for any reason.

Consider the Experience of the Limo Drivers

When you look for transportation, it is important to check the drivers in charge. Since not all drivers will have the same level of experience, you need to ensure you’ll have a good one backing you on your wedding day. Professional drivers will arrive on time, they will be well-groomed, acting appropriately for the event. Sophistication and professionalism are the hallmarks of a good limo driver.

Check Out the Limo Seating Arrangements

How many people will need transportation via limo? You may want to plan by asking the limousine service about the capacity of their vehicles and whether they can provide what you need. Depending on the theme of the wedding, some couples may prefer a nice and quiet ride in privacy. Others may prefer a more lively group event with a larger number of people during the ride, so choose wisely. When you make your choice, check whether you can use the limo as transport, or just as a theme for your photography moments.

Will You Sign a Contract?

In most cases, wedding transport services provide a contract, which cements the conditions for both sides. The contract will lay out the details of what is expected, so you can determine the time of arrival, the length of use of the vehicle and the costs involved. You should check if you can extend the duration in case of unforeseen circumstances. The contract provides additional assurances for clients.
