A wedding marks the joyous beginning of a marriage, a momentous occasion celebrated with loved ones. While planning your dream wedding, consider adding a touch of elegance and luxury with a limousine service. While some couples embrace unconventional celebrations like roller coaster nuptials, many still appreciate the classic sophistication a limousine provides.
Wedding planning can be stressful, but professional planning is key to success. While resources abound on wedding ceremony success, don’t overlook the wedding party celebrations. In 2007, the average U.S. wedding cost $28,000, double the 1990 figure. The wedding industry generates approximately $161 billion annually. While splurging on a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ event is common, a limousine service enhances the wedding’s elegance, justifying the added expense.
Arriving at your wedding ceremony in luxury and comfort is a priority for most couples. A stylish, appropriately colored limousine fits the bill. Reputable limousine services meticulously maintain their vehicles and provide amenities like a complimentary bar and professional chauffeurs. A wedding limousine service typically costs around $120 per hour, with some offering promotional extra hours.
Wedding limousine service packages vary in price. Basic packages include the limousine, a uniformed driver, and beverages. Ensure the rental company provides a professionally attired chauffeur, not someone in casual wear.
The limousine’s appearance is also important. Confirm if the service includes ‘Just Married’ signs, balloons, bowties, a red carpet, interior decorations, flowers, champagne stands, and wedding march air horns. These customizations may incur additional charges.
Arriving in a beautiful limousine adds a final touch of sparkle to a picture-perfect wedding. Select a professional and experienced limousine company and reserve your vehicle well in advance. If you’re unfamiliar with the company and their fleet, inspect available options. Confirm the chauffeur’s dress code to ensure a professional appearance.
Limousines are typically classified by passenger capacity (6, 8, or 10 passengers). Inquire about the limousine’s year and make. Consider your party size and gown volume when booking. Most companies have a three-hour minimum, with hourly rental rates ranging from $45 to $65, and a suggested 20% gratuity for the chauffeur.
