Wedding Transportation Suggestions to Help Your Day Run Smoothly

Consider your own personal style.

Limousines are the most traditional options for wedding transportation. However, there are other luxury vehicles that may better fit your personal taste or wedding theme. If an amazingly luxurious Bentley or a party bus with dark glass windows better matches your style, choose your wedding transportation accordingly.

Don't procrastinate.

Most people are married within 24 months of saying "yes" to a proposal. In fact, 40 percent have an engagement that lasts between 13 and 18 months. This may seem like an indefinite amount of time, but procrastination can leave a couple with too little time to secure all of their desired arrangements.

Like the amount of time that is left before your wedding date, the number of preferred vehicles for your special day is not limitless. As a result, it is best to reserve your wedding transportation months in advance. In fact, the sooner, the better — especially if you are getting married in popular months, such as June or September.

Visit the transportation company in person to see the fleet.

When it comes to your wedding transportation, even if you think that you know exactly what you want, you may be surprised when you view the vehicles in person. Some people change their mind once they see larger or more elegant vehicles than they first selected.

In addition, viewing the exact make and model of each vehicle that you will be reserving can help you avoid unwelcome surprises. As your wedding transportation arrives to pick you up on your special day, you will have an idea of the exact amenities and features that are offered.

Don't forget the details.

Here are a few details that you need to have in mind when you reserve your wedding fleet:

• Pick-up and drop-off locations
• Number of hours you plan to rent the vehicles
• Number of people who will be transported in each vehicle
• Make, model and color of each desired wedding vehicle

Also, if you want to enjoy a special type of champagne during the ride to or from your wedding, request it during your transportation reservation. In addition, be prepared to provide a CD with a playlist of special songs to serve as the musical accompaniment for your ride.

Whatever you've envisioned will need to be shared with the wedding transportation provider ahead of time to ensure that you are not disappointed. Some requests, such as the addition of streamers and other decorations on the fleet vehicles, may not be permitted. These limitations are often in place to keep the vehicles in top shape and prevent potential safety issues.

Consider your budget.

If you have a limited budget, ask about the pricing of the available rental vehicles before you get too deep into the planning stages. Your budget may dictate the number and type of vehicles that you will be renting. Also, don't forget to inquire about the gratuity for the drivers.
