Arriving in style is all part of the fun of your big day. To ensure that you get the wedding car of your dreams, it is a good idea to book it well in advance. To help you choose the ideal transport for your celebrations, have a read of our guide below.

Decide who you need transport for

The first thing to work out is who you require transport for. If you are getting married and holding your reception is one location, transport will be much less necessary than if you are holding your celebration in two separate locations.

Remember that most of your guests will make their own travel arrangements if you don’t tell them otherwise. If you fancy renting out a wedding bus to ferry your guests from the ceremony to the reception, this can be a nice touch. It allows everyone to travel together and there is no need to worry about parking. Just make sure you let your guests know your plans before the day.

Although your bridesmaids, ushers and parents will often arrive in a special car with you or the groom. They may choose to make their own transport arrangements for after the ceremony. Whilst you will most probably choose to travel with your new husband.

Research what types of transport is available

The type of transport you choose may depend on the number of people travelling with you and also on the theme and budget of the wedding.

If you are planning a traditional themed wedding, vintage style cars are a lovely touch. They are elegant and look fantastic in the wedding pictures. If you are looking for something a bit more modern but with a touch of class, why not choose a stretched limo. Plus, there larger size means that they are able to fit in a few more people than a regular car, like with this friendly and reliable limo service Bergen Limo.

If you are planning on providing transport for all your guests, hiring out a wedding bus could be perfect. If you are hiring out vintage cars for yourself and bridal party, you could also look into a matching vintage style bus for your guests.

Inform the hire car company of the details

Once you have decided on your transport type, ensure that you inform the hire car or limo company of your requirements and details.

If you want the wedding to follow tradition it is important that after the ceremony the hire cars leave in the right order. Typically, the bride and groom should leave together first, so that they arrive at the wedding reception before the guests. If you are providing transport for the bridesmaids and the best man, they should leave together in one car and arrive at the reception soon after you and your husband. The mother and father of the bride leave in another car and should arrive just after the bridesmaids and best man. All the other guests may then follow suit and turn up as soon as they can.
