Wedding Transportation: Is a Limousine Really Necessary?

Tags: transportation

Wedding transportation for the bride, groom, and wedding party will be something that a couple will have to tackle before the wedding. There needs to be a definite decision on whether or not the couple will be responsible for transporting the parents of the bride and groom as well as the wedding party to and from the wedding and the reception hall.

There are a couple options when it comes to wedding transportation. The couple can require that the bridal party drive themselves to the wedding and also to the reception. They can rent a limousine for the entire wedding party and the parents of the bride and groom. They can also opt to rent a chauffeured Town Car, which is less expensive than renting a limousine. If one has a small wedding party, then renting one or two of these types of vehicles might save on the transportation costs. A limousine will be the most expensive option.

However, if a couple is dead set on having a limousine, then there are some arrangements that can be made that can help to lower the cost. For example, a couple can make arrangements with the limousine company to only pick up and drop off the party. In this case, the driver would not be required to wait through the entire ceremony.  This will allow the couple to have the limo that they want but at an affordable rate. It is important to note on that some limousine companies have a minimum fee so even though the driver will only drop the wedding party up and pick them up, they may still be charged for a set number of hours, so shop around and find a limousine company that does not have this policy.

Another option is to have the wedding party drive themselves to the wedding and have the limousine take them only to the reception. Arrangements can be made to take the wedding party back to the church or to the sight of the wedding, where they can pick up their automobiles.

If a couple finds that they are totally strapped for cash, they may opt for renting one chauffeured Town Car to take the bride and groom from the wedding to the reception hall, and make the necessary arrangement to get back to the church or to the honeymoon suite.

With so many arrangements that need to be made when one is planning a wedding, wedding transportation need not be something that stresses a couple out. If is affordable to rent a limousine to chauffeur the entire wedding party to and fro, then by all means do that, especially since it is the most convenient option.  However, if a couple cannot afford this, than a chauffeured Town Car just for the bride and groom, might be a better option.  The most important part of the wedding is that two individuals are coming together to start their lives together and the couple should not get bogged down on trivial issues such as transportation.
