Your average wedding day consists of three main venues: the ceremony, photo session, and reception. In some cases, these three locations are close together or even a single location. In most cases, however, this is not the case, and the bridal party needs to be transported from A to B and then C without skipping a beat. All the more reason to plan your transport ahead of time! Once you have your venues set in stone and your invitations have been sent, it’s time to organize your transport. Below you will find some questions you should ask before choosing your wedding vehicle (or vehicles).
What types of vehicles are available?
Are you looking for a specific type of vehicle to suit the theme of your wedding? For example, if you are planning a vintage wedding, you might prefer a vintage vehicle. If you’re going for something more modern, then perhaps a Mercedes, BMW, or another luxury car would be best. Remember to match the color too! Your wedding vehicle is bound to feature in several photos as well as your video. Make sure that the color looks good alongside your dress, the groom’s suit, and your bridesmaids’ dresses too!
How many cars do you need?
While some wedding parties consist of a bride, groom, one bridesmaid, and a best man, others include several bridesmaids and even more than one best man! It’s also important to consider if you will have a flower girl, ring bearer, and any other members of the wedding party joining you. The bride and groom will travel separately to the ceremony and, hereafter, they will travel together. It’s quite common for the bride to travel with her father or whoever will be giving her away. The mother of the bride and the bridesmaids are usually transported in another vehicle. The groom and his best man often drive themselves to the ceremony. Once married, the bride and groom will drive together in the main wedding vehicle. The bridesmaids and best man will drive in the second vehicle, and a trusted friend will ensure that the groom’s car makes it to the reception. For larger wedding parties, you might be best off hiring a limo or two. Large vehicles like buses come in handy when you are responsible for transporting your guests to remote locations.
How can you save money?
One way of saving money is by asking a friend or relative if they wouldn’t mind lending you their luxury vehicle. Of course, they will probably need to be the chauffeur too so you’ll need to include them and their family in the invitations! You can also ask the car hire company if they are able to offer any special pricing if you hire more than one vehicle. You never know until you ask! Don’t forget to shop around! Check out the prices and vehicle quality at various companies before putting down your deposit.
What to do in the event of a cancellation?
Whenever you reserve a product or service, you will be expected to secure your booking by paying a deposit. It’s important to find out if you are liable for any fees if, for whatever reason, your wedding does not go ahead on that day. Remember, weddings are not only canceled when the bride or groom backs out! There could be a medical or other personal emergency, and it’s good to be prepared.
How can the cars be decorated?
It’s customary to decorate wedding cars on the big day, but you should always ask first! Some companies have rules regarding the types of décor that can be used – especially on expensive or vintage vehicles. They might even do the decorating for you, but it is important that these arrangements are also made in advance so that you’re not caught by surprise.
