There are a variety of options available for transportation on your wedding day.  Here are some tips we think can help you plan!

1. Book early!  Make sure your reservation is in between 3 – 6 months ahead of your wedding. Depending on the time of year, there may be a lot of other events requiring rented transportation.  Book early to help ensure you have exactly what you want lined.
2. Think outside the box – maybe line up something nontraditional!  Rent an old car (or just ask the owner to drive you and the groom), line up a horse trailer, or go for the horse drawn carriage.  There are a lot of options out there, you just need to think ahead and plan according to your unique bridal style!
3. Think about who all needs transportation.  Do you plan on having the bridal party travel with you?  What about your parents?  Are their children in the wedding?  A common trend is to have the bridal party travel in a limo bus and have some drinks along the way.  Consider who all will be riding in the bus to best accommodate everyone.  Don’t forget to ask your photographer to join you.  Also – the bus won’t be staying around to take you back to your car at the ceremony location!  Make sure there is a way to get back to cars at the end of the night!
4. Make the reservation in person.  You don’t want to be surprised the day of your wedding.  Make sure the transportation you have lined up meets your standards by checking it out in person.
5. Plan for delays – every trip will take longer.  Whether someone forgot their purse inside and need to run in to get it or you encounter unexpected traffic, there will be delays on the day of your wedding.  Add 20 minutes – maybe 30 – just to make sure you have plenty of time for every, “Oh, just let me grab…”
6. Most often you are paying by the hour for transportation with an minimum amount of time required.  Be cognizant of how long it takes to get to places, how long the driver is waiting for you and for how many hours you are paying them.
7. Plan your travel style!  Have fun with this – make a playlist of your favorite songs, bring a box of fun costumes to wear in your pictures, or choose a unique ride – travel in your style on your big day!
