Wedding Limousine Planning
If you're planning on having an elegant style wedding, then you
must simply ensure that your transportation reflects it. Nothing
is so markedly elegant than a well-polished black stretched
limousine.
Hiring a chauffeured limo for your wedding presents
the benefit of experiencing high-society pampering, making your
big day all the more memorable, relaxing, and just plain fun.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning a limousine
rental for your wedding.*

What should I budget for my wedding?
This depends on the type and number of vehicles you are
planning to rent. Please understand that most limousine
services have a rental minimum of 3 hours. Most services do
not offer "pick-up" and "drop-off" service as this only
consumes 1 hour of time.
Limousines are costly business assets; it is not cost
effective for limousine services to offer their service for 1
hour. Typically a 1 hour rental would consume more than 3
hours when considering travel times and vehicle preparation.
You cannot rent a hotel room for 5 hours; limo service is
similar.
A typical wedding rental package runs from $200 - $400 for 3
hours of service depending on your vehicle preference. Exotic
vehicle choices cost much higher. For example, a standard
white 8-passenger stretch limousine would rent in the
$250-$350 range while an exotic vehicle, such as a Stretch SUV
Excursion would rent in the $500-$1,000 range - a big price
difference!
When should I begin shopping for a limo?
A good time to begin your wedding limousine shopping is 6 to 9
months before your wedding date. Delays in your shopping could
result in not finding your vehicle of choice.
Conversely, most companies do not handle inquiries for service
which extend beyond 1 year. To be taken seriously by a
limousine service, it is best to begin your shopping duties
within a year of your wedding date.
Can my entire bridal party fit in the limo?
Most limousines simply are not big enough to accommodate 12-14
people. Exotic vehicles can accommodate larger parties but are
more expensive and limited. When shopping, make sure you
specify the number of passengers you want traveling. Although
a limo might be designated as a "10 - passenger" limousine, it
may be difficult to squeeze 10 adults dressed in formal attire
in such limos.
When is a good time to hold my wedding?
If you haven't yet planned a wedding date, we strongly advise
picking a date which DOES NOT occur in the springtime. Why?
During prom season (March - June) prices are exorbitantly high
because the demand for limo service skyrockets. Prom attendees
scoop up all available services and many bridal parties are
left without limo service options.
In the spring, bridal parties may find themselves with limo
options that require 8 hours minimum and rental rates 30%
higher than normal.
If your wedding date is in the spring, we suggest starting
your limo search 1 year before your wedding date. You should
also plan on making reservations 1 year in advance as well.
For wedding dates during other seasons, 6 months is adequate.
