Smart Tips
For Booking Wedding transportation
Basic guidelines for your wedding transportation.
By: Veronica Beres
- TIMELINE
While you don’t need to know every little detail of your wedding day down to the second, you must map out how much of your day will be spent and where. For example, where are you getting your hair and makeup done? Are you having a “first look” or taking bridal party portraits at a different venue? These are all factors that may impact your transportation. If you need help gauging how much time you’ll need for those all-important shutterbug moments, ask your photographer. Be sure to include some cushioning to your schedule in case of any last-minute emergencies, such as a bridal party member or vendor showing up late.
Once you’ve established a basic timeline, it’s time to start researching rental companies. Ideally, you should start your search about four to six months before the big day, but you can undoubtedly book well in advance.
Bonus tip: If your wedding will take place during prom season (early April to mid-June) or on/around a major holiday such as New Year’s Eve, start your transportation search early since Meridian Weddings may be inundated with bookings during that time.
- BUDGET
Your finances have dictated everything from the centerpieces you’ve chosen to the dress you’ll rock down the aisle, and wedding-day transportation is no exception. Consider the cost per hour, the price of mileage, and the distance involved from one point to another when booking your contract. We will charge a minimum of three to six hours, depending on where you live and which vehicle you’ve rented.
Bonus tip: Ask our specialist or look at our fleet pictures & Videos to see the limo to verify that it has enough room for your bridal party to fit comfortably inside!
- THE FINE PRINT
Now that you’ve established what your transportation needs are and have a better idea of what they’ll cost let’s get down to business! Use Our Wedding Project Tool to get our written agreement that includes the following terms of service: total cost, deposits required, refund and gratuity policies, arrival and departure locations, pick-up/drop-off times, the exact models of the vehicles you’ve requested, and the overtime rate per hour. This will give you extra peace of mind!
When you’re ready to sign on the dotted line, it’s essential to ask about “all-inclusive pricing,” which should always include the total fare but may not always include taxes.
Bonus tip: When comparing limousine service, before deciding, be suspicious of cheap rates or cash discounts; also, don’t forget to verify that your driver is licensed and insured! You can request from us the bus or limousine operator’s DOT registration number and check the status and safety records online.
- PREPARE YOURSELF
You know that itinerary you’ve been obsessing over like a busy little bee? Complete the Wedding Project Tool or email it to us, along with all the necessary directions, including alternate routes, in case of an untimely traffic jam. It’s also a great idea to give the itinerary to your bridal party, along with any necessary numbers they may need to have handy.
Bonus tip: And whatever you do, don’t call the bride! Make sure that either your MOH (Maid of honor or matron of honor) or wedding planner (if you hired one) has all the receipts/contracts and any contact numbers they may need. It’s also wise to let Us knows to contact them in case they need an answer, or there’s an issue on the wedding day.
- GET CREATIVE
One of my favorite details at weddings is always the form of transportation. If limos aren’t your style or you want to splurge on something special for you and your wedding partner, then think wedding trolleys, school buses (perfect for teachers!), or even a horse-drawn carriage for the ultimate fairytale moment.
Bonus tip: If you want to surprise your wedding partner on your wedding day, rent a luxury favorite car for transportation to the ceremony!
- GO THE EXTRA MILE
If you’re providing transportation for out-of-town guests, factor in that some of your loved ones may wish to leave the party at 11 p.m. and not celebrate until 2 a.m. If your budget is tight and you can’t afford two separate return transportation opportunities, ask a family friend if they wouldn’t mind carpooling. It’s always a nice gesture to thank your loved ones with a small gift for their time.
It’s always a bright idea to provide guests with our company’s 24/7 phone# if they happen to have had one too many drinks and are feeling a bit tipsy!
One thing my fiancé and I were considering when booking our venue was that our bridal party would need return transportation; otherwise, talk to family members, MOH, or your event planner if you hired one and ask for alternative recommendations. It’s thoughtful to consider your bridal party’s needs after celebrating your love all day (and night!).
Bonus tip: We can provide a secondary backup vehicle at a reduced rate just in case a guest needs an early ride or miss the shuttles to transport them back to their room at the end of the wedding.
