Wedding Transportation Quick Tips

Transportation Quick Tips

• Limousine services and horse-drawn carriages are two of the most popular and elegant ways for couples to make their "getaway."
• You should begin planning your wedding transportation within a year of your wedding.
• When you go visit the various companies, check out the exact car or cars that you would be renting. Make sure that they are nice on the inside as well as the outside, and that whatever services you would contract to receive are in working order.
• Find out what resources the company is prepared to call upon in an emergency. Are there extra cars available in case yours breaks down?
• Copy down the license plate and/or serial number of the car you like to make sure that you receive that exact one.
• Also verify that the company has the proper licenses and sufficient insurance.
• A typical rental lasts five hours, and gives you ample time to get picked up, taken to the church, married, and then driven to the reception site.
• Make the most of your rental, and have the limousine pick up other friends and family after you and the wedding party arrive at the church.
• Typically, the maid-of-honor and the best man ride in the first car with the couple, and the rest of the wedding party follows in a second car.
• Many couples find the Victorian charm of a horse-drawn carriage appealing. The broad range of carriage colors, sizes, and styles that they have to choose from make it possible for the couple to choose the right carriage for them.
• When meeting with livery services, make appointments to view the carriages and horses. Make sure that both are clean and in good shape. Look for a livery owner who is flexible to your ideas, and knows how to make your ride romantic and special.
• Many carriages come with convertible tops and pull-up windows to keep you warm and dry on your way to the reception.
• You will need to decide if the carriage will carry just you two, or if you will include the best man and maid-of-honor. Most carriages can fit four grown adults quite comfortably.
