A wedding marks the beginning of a marriage, a significant life event celebrated with loved ones. While some opt for traditional church weddings, others seek unique experiences, like ceremonies on roller coasters or even bungee jumping after exchanging vows. A classic touch of elegance is often added with a wedding limousine, complete with celebratory decorations. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but professional planning is key. Beyond the ceremony, wedding party celebrations deserve attention.
In the United States, the average wedding cost was around $28,000 (as of 2007). Investing in a limousine service adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to the occasion. Arriving in style and comfort is a priority for many couples. A well-maintained limousine, perhaps in a color that complements the wedding theme, driven by a professional chauffeur, can make a grand entrance. While pricing varies, wedding limousine services typically cost around $120 per hour, with some companies offering promotional packages.
Basic wedding limousine services include the vehicle, a professional driver, and beverages. Ensure the rental company provides a uniformed chauffeur for a polished look. The limousine’s appearance is also crucial. Inquire about extras like “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 special touch to a perfect wedding. Choosing an experienced and professional limousine company is essential. Reserve your chosen limousine well in advance. If you are unfamiliar with the company and its vehicles, inspect the available options and the vehicle in person. Verify the chauffeur’s dress code to ensure a professional appearance.
Limousines are typically rated for 6, 8, or 10 passengers. Confirm the limousine’s year and model. Consider the size of your wedding party and the space needed for gowns when selecting the right size limousine. Most companies have a three-hour minimum, with rental costs ranging from $45.00 to $65.00 per hour, and a 20% gratuity for the chauffeur is customary.
