The last thing any bride or groom wants is to show up late
to the altar. Arranging a chauffeur to get you and your clos-
est pals to and from the ceremony won’t just make your day
run a lot smoother – it will make it more fun for all.
START IT UP
Limousine companies tend to get booked quickly during
the summer – peak wedding season – and late spring
– prom season. Begin looking for a limo as much as six
months before these prime periods. If your wedding takes
place in the off-season (fall or winter), look to book three
or four months out.
SIZE IT UP
The biggest factor in limo choice will be the size of the
wedding party and any extra people who will be traveling
in the limo. A smaller group may get by in, say, a stretched-
out Lincoln limousine, while a group of a dozen may need
a converted-SUV limo. Large groups – 20-some people –
could even opt for a party bus.
With the type of ride that would best accommodate you
in mind, compare prices among like vehicles at different
vendors in your area.
Like every driver on the road, the company you go with
should be licensed and insured. Look for companies with
a fleet of recent model-year vehicles, and seek references
from recent customers.
