Contrary to belief, your wedding transport is the most important detail of your wedding day.
Getting you and your bridal party to the ceremony, the photos and the reception on time and fuss free, sets the tone for the day, which should be a relaxed and enjoyable time.
If your Limousine company is experienced in wedding transport, has well maintained cars and the Drivers are experienced in handling weddings then you have chosen well!
Looking for this type of Limousine company is not easy as there are so many in the wedding industry market today. Do your research, ask for referrals especially from family, friends and the reception venue that your wedding will be held at. Your wedding venue has many contacts when it comes to choosing high quality suppliers for your wedding day and they will be helpful in this regard.
Firstly, look for a company that has been in the industry for many years, hold accreditation in the industry and one that has received accolades for their service and work. Secondly, look at the type of cars that they have in their fleet. Are they well maintained, clean, air conditioned and late models if it is a modern car. Thirdly, look at their terms and conditions. Are they appropriate and reasonable, what is the sum of a deposit and when does the balance need to be paid. Do they include parking and tolls in their quote and also look at their contract for their policy of drinking and eating in the cars and if any damage is caused to the cars. Lastly, investigate their cancellation policy in the event of change of mind or change of wedding date and their overtime charges should your ceremony and photo shoot go over the time frame you have paid for the hire of your cars.
You will also need to look at their inclusions, regarding red carpet, wheel covers, baby seats (if required), water, champagne and food. Having all these inclusions does make the day (especially if a hot one) more comfortable and enjoyable for you and your bridal party.

A professional wedding driver will open and close the door for you, provide a red carpet and wheel cover to protect your dress – which is most important!

A good Limousine company will also provide the little things, like tissues, pins, hairpins, mirrors, wipes, water spray for flowers and mints.
