Let’s face it, planning a wedding can be overwhelming. There are many things to consider: the venue, flowers, the menu, music, photographer, and more. But let’s not forget transportation is key. Wedding limousine rentals from a professional company are the best way to ensure everything goes perfectly.
At Delux, we have been honored to play an important role in hundreds of weddings in NYC, Long Island, and the entire Tri-state. With that experience comes wisdom, so we have put together these useful planning tips surrounding wedding limousine rentals.
Work with a company that specializes in wedding limousine Rentals
The average NY wedding costs $63,000. These are difficult economic times, so understandably, you might look for ways to cut costs. However, wedding transportation is one area that is best left in the hands of professionals. It is just one aspect of the day, but it is the one that ties all the others together.
We have all seen shows where some disaster has delayed the arrival of the bride or groom. Remember Marshall and Lily’s wedding in How I Met Your Mother or Ross and Emily’s wedding in Friends? It’s funny in a comedy show, but not in real life. Wedding limousine rentals with an expert company goes beyond style and glamor. It means peace of mind that transportation will be executed properly and everyone will arrive safely and on time.
Wedding limousine rentals – logistics are critical.
The last thing you want on your wedding day is to be clock-watching, worrying about where your vehicles are. It is easily avoided with advance planning and good communication. Ensure the wedding transportation provider has all the details and is part of the process from day one.
New York’s traffic is the stuff of legends – and sometimes, nightmares. At Delux Worldwide Transportation, navigating the busy streets is our expertise. However, we also know it is vital to have all the information available regarding logistics to plan accordingly. That also includes time with the photographers.
Know the wedding venue’s policies and share this information with the wedding limousine rentals company.
This is another important part of communication and teamwork for a successful wedding. Many venues have specific rules regarding how early people can arrive and how late they can stay. Another important detail is knowing where the vehicles can drop off the wedding party and guests. In NYC, where congestion is high, knowing when and where to dispatch is extremely important. We’ve been providing wedding limousine rentals for over 50+ years, and you can trust us to offer you expert transportation services for your entire wedding.
Consider the whole day and night
We’ve done a lot of weddings, and one thing we can attest to is that there are no “norms.” However, typically, the first part of the wedding will be the ceremony, and the wedding vehicles will be with you from the start. After the exchanging of vows, the reception begins. During the enjoyment of the event, the last thing you want to be thinking about is transportation. However, when the party ends, you want to know the chauffeurs are there waiting to take everyone home. Stick with a professional and trustworthy wedding limousine rental company.
wedding limousine rentals – there are plenty of options.
The company offering wedding limousine rentals should have experience and an extensive fleet of vehicles. Some couples like a traditional limousine for themselves and the bridal party. But depending on how many bridesmaids and groomsmen there are, a party bus might be more appropriate. Or you could forego the traditional limousine and opt for luxury sedans, SUVs, or specialty vehicles such as a classic or vintage car. View some of our wedding vehicles here.
And of course, you most likely will need to arrange a car service for immediate family and close friends. Work out the numbers with the wedding limousine rentals consultant so they understand the vehicles needed.
Communicate with your guests, too
It’s not just the organizers and service providers who need to know the lay of the land. Your guests, too, need to know what to expect. Luckily, there are some very good online wedding websites where the couple can create the invitation, the itinerary of the day/evening, and the gift registry. All details regarding transportation should be listed there, too.
At Delux, we can accommodate the vagaries of New York traffic, but we can’t perform miracles if your guests are not privy to the schedule.
According to research by Brides Magazine, New York is the number one state in the US for weddings. That means you’re in great company. But it also means lots of competition for choice in companies offering wedding limousine rentals. Therefore, most people book their wedding transportation at least nine months before the big day. So we advise you to book your wedding limousine and other transportation needs as early in the planning process as possible.
