Top Wedding Transportation Tips for Your Big Day

Weddings take a lot of planning. In between finding the perfect dresses and/or tuxes, the right venue, the guest list, the food ... you might wind up neglecting something very important: Wedding transportation.

If you want to be able to ride to your wedding in style, you're going to have to do some planning.
Getting there is all part of the storybook experience that you deserve.

Here are some tips to planning your wedding transportation without a hitch!

Start Early

This is not something you should leave until the last minute.

Especially if you're getting married during prom season, limos and other luxury wedding transportation options will be in high demand. You need to book yours in advance.

Of course, there are a few things you need to decide before you book your transportation. Things like the venue and date will need to be decided on before so that your transportation knows where to go.

But, still, you need to prioritize your wedding transportation early and work with them up to the date.

If you leave things until the last minute, you'll be scrambling to find someone who is available. You will probably end up with a less-than-perfect service, which can really put a damper on the day that is supposed to be about you and your spouse-to-be.

​Instead, start early and make sure your special day is just that.

Decide Who You're Transporting

Make no mistake: you aren't required to transport your guests from the wedding to the reception, or to their hotel.

But it can be polite to do so, especially for your bridal party or any out of town guests.

Deciding who you are going to transport will help you figure out what kind of service you need. Do you need a limo that can handle a bunch of guests? Or a smaller SUV?

For our part, we're more than willing to pick up your out of town guests from the airport or ferry terminal.

Whether you decide on transporting guests or not, it's important that you let them know in advance what your plans are. That way, you can make sure that they have accommodations if they need them.

​Not having this planned and communicated in advance can lead to a lot of hassle. Avoid that by making sure you have a game plan.

Get Your Wedding Planner Involved

Everything in your wedding matches. Your dress compliments the flowers, your decor matches your theme.

Why shouldn't your wedding transportation fit in, too?

You deserve nothing less than the best, so don't be afraid to get your wedding planner involved in the transportation planning. A truly good transportation service will be more than happy to work with them!

Extra decorations or similar things on your wedding transportation make for a beautiful photo op, and you deserve to have that option.

​You want every part of your day to be memorable. And a truly good wedding transportation company will help to make that a reality!

That's what we believe, anyways. That's why we're willing to provide decorations and work with your wedding planner at no extra charge to you!

Know Your Contract

So, you're in a rush to get to your big day. We can understand that. But there are a lot of points in your wedding transportation contract that you need to go over.

There are many things that should be included in your contract, including:
​

• Arrival time
• Reception departure time
• Total time you'll be renting the vehicle
• Addresses of all locations transportation needs to go
• The size of the vehicle
• The color of the vehicle
• The model of the vehicle
• If you've decided on a specific car, the license plate
• If you want a specific driver, their name
• The number of passengers
• Gratuity for the driver(s)
• Any special requests you have. This can be anything from champagne to a driver's dress code.
• What sort of liability you have if any sort of damage is done
• Cleaning fees
• Confirmation that the company is licensed

​Going over all of these points will ensure that everything in your wedding transportation is done to your liking.

Plan the Party in Advance

So, everything is planned.

You've got your perfect wedding transportation, it looks beautiful, and you know exactly who will be riding in it. Your big day arrives, you all pile in, and ...silence.

Planning doesn't stop at picking a car. You should have things planned for the actual ride over. Some of those things could include:

• A fun playlist
• Refreshments and food
• Things to talk about
• Who will be sitting where

A little bit of planning in advance can really make the difference.

The ride to the wedding or reception should get people prepared for the big event. That means getting them excited and happy to be there with you on your big day.

​You deserve to feel special, and your big day should be a one of celebration, not awkward silence. Make sure you think things through.
