Things are crazy and you still havent got around to sorting out the wedding party transportation from the church to the reception are. You probably have a million and one different things that you are worried about. Lets check out 7 ways to stop these disasters from happenning so as to ensure you get to your destination in one piece.
1. Always select a reliable wedding car company. It is so critical that everything goes smoothly on your big day. Reliability is of paramount importance, you want whoever you hire to turn up on time, and get you there in one piece.
2. Dont be backwards about coming forwards when asking for references. If you run with a company who has been around for a while things are less likely to go wrong.
3. Read the contract. Planning a wedding is a big thing, and you are going to have a ton contracts that you sign. After signing a contract for the caterer, reception hall and so on, you’re probably going to think that they are all pretty standard. You are going to want to make sure that you read the contract for your chauffeur and car. The contract shouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary, but you want to know what you’re paying for and what’s included in the package price. A lot of times, you might get a certain number of miles for free, and after 25 miles, for example, you may be paying an additional surcharge.
4. Another thing you need to know is how far in advance you have to pay the deposit for the car. If you had forgotten to read the contract, you may end up not having a car because you thought you could pay the bill the day of your wedding.
5. Remember to bear in mind the time of year you are booking your wedding car. Getting a convertible car is all well and good but the weather is so important. So look at your calendar and think seriously whether it is worthwhile getting an open top car for the month of December if you are getting married then.
6. Take an accurate headcount. There is nothing worse than booking a car that holds six people only to find out that your wedding party has eight people plus the bride and groom. If you are going to provide transportation for the entire wedding party, make sure that you count everybody and make sure that your car or cars are going to be able to hold that many people.
7. Let your wedding chauffeur know how long everything is going to take. He needs to know how long the church service is going to last so he is outside waiting for you. You don’t want to be standing in the rain after you have just got married because the driver got the time wrong.
By organizing your wedding day transportation in advance, you are going to be able to get a car that’s perfect for your wedding party, It is also going to be comfortable for any of your transportation needs.
