Types of Wedding Day Transportation

As the groom, it is your duty to ensure that you and your family as well as your in-laws have the right type of transportation to take everyone to the wedding location. No doubt an auspicious occasion such as your wedding day should be well orchestrated down to the last detail. This means that you should put all your effort into getting the right type of transportation so that you and your family ride in style.

By far, limousines are the preferred choice when it comes to wedding travel. Not only do they scream luxury but are also convenient in that they can accommodate more people. A limousine can hold up to 12 people at a time. Most limousines are driven by a chauffeur who is part of the limousine rental package.  Many people who get married choose a white colored limousine because of the formal look that it gives, but the color and style are up to you.

The cost of the limousine service really depends on how long you are going to rent it and how many vehicles you are renting. There are actually some limousine service companies that will charge you from $150 -200 per hour, but they get booked up quicker as they are less expensive.  With the more expensive limousine companies, your cost could get up to more than $4,000 for the entire trip.

There are other forms of wedding transportation that couples choose, either to go along with their wedding theme or in line with what they can realistically afford without incurring a huge debt. A horse drawn carriage can be ideal for a southern wedding and it would also say “classy” in a genteel sort of way.  You can rent any type of vehicle, not just a limo, so do some searching online for a nice vehicle that fits with your dreams.  Try a classic car or a racy convertible for the two of you if that appeals to you.

Some couples have been known to use golf cars to take their wedding party from the ceremony to the reception. For the groom who is working with a tight budget, he can consider borrowing a nice car from a friend or family member as a free solution to wedding transportation needs.

You can always have your car washed and finely detailed so it’s dressed up for your special day.  If you are using your own vehicle or renting a car then have someone from the wedding party provide chauffeur services for you and your bride.

When it comes to the wedding party, you can also request that they use their own vehicle to follow you to the wedding. Finally, remember that most transportation services have special deals with their rentals. The season and day of the week you choose to get married can also affect the price.

Whatever you decide on for your wedding day transportation, make it special in some way.
