Limos, Trolley and More

TRANSPORTATION LIMOS, TROLLEYS AND MORE

Here are some tips to make your transport as fun, affordable and memorable as the rest of your day. First decide how many you’re moving. Do you want just the bride and groom in a car, or the entire wedding party? Once you make those decisions, start shopping around based on size. Whatever you decide on, keep safety in mind for when revelers are bouncing from place to place.

LIMOS

A limo can be booked for a day, so you could get a ride to pick you up at the house and deliver you to the ceremony and reception. Most companies have a minimum for their services, so think about the most costeffective way to go if you want something for before and after the reception. Many options exist for limos. A formal seats four, but a stretch can seat as many as 10. For larger parties, sport utility models like the Hummer and Explorer are popular and flashy. Larger models are often posh, with decorative interiors.

CATCH THE COACH

For larger parties, a party bus or luxury coach is a great way to travel. It’s got all the amenities of a luxury limousine, but they’ll seat up to 10 people comfortably. Or, for bigger parties, a passenger coach or party bus can seat 21-49 people. The size and type of coach will determine the hourly rate. Depending on the size of your party it may make sense to hire two coaches.

TAKING THE TROLLEY

A picturesque alternative is a trolley. They’ll generally accommodate between 20 and 35 people, so it’s great for larger parties.

With their old world charm, they’ll send a lovely, elegant touch to this wedding day detail. Since most have outdoor decks, these are especially fun if small towns so you can take a peek outside and watch onlookers wave at newlyweds.

UNIQUE ALTERNATIVES

Some new couples might opt for something more personal or creative. A horse-drawn carriage is a romantic, vintage option, especially if you can decorate it with your wedding colors. Vintage cars are also great photo ops. An antique Rolls Royce or a ’69 Mustang are chic.

Ride in style like the royal couple did in a decorated navy soft-top Aston Martin Volante. Or, as with everything else in the wedding, make sure the transportation connects to YOU. Maybe you met at a Harley rally – ride off on your twin Hogs! Or maybe you share a love of mountain biking – don’t be afraid to wheel over on a tandem together.

DOWN TO DETAILS

Make sure to confirm booking well in advance of your wedding dates. And don’t be afraid to ask for a test drive! Look for these in a written contract:

• Name and contact information for you and the company • Date, time and address of all pick-up and drop-off locations • Type and number of vehicles rented, and amenities supplied with each • Exact hours of vehicle rental

• Total cost, including gas, mileage, tip and overtime fees

• Deposit amount, balance, due date and cancellation policy
