Limousine for Wedding – Booking advice from New York Wedding Limousine service.. April 13, 2011
Posted by StarCityLimo in : New York, Wedding , add a commentAlmost every bride wants her wedding day to be just perfect to make her and her groom feel like a royal couple. One of the most important parts of the wedding day is the arrival, as they say ‘first impressions last’ and you want to make your grand entrance to the church, and your first as man and wife, in style preferably in New York Wedding Limousine.
So please consider the following when hiring your wedding limousines:
Every bride knows that all aspects of her wedding day need to be planned and booked in advance, otherwise you may miss out on what you want and it may not be ready in time. The same goes for hiring a limo for your wedding day. Therefore, you should start looking for the perfect limo wedding car around six to nine months before the wedding. This allows you enough time to ring around and find the one you want. However, you don’t want to over compensate and start calling limo hire companies any more than a year in advance as they may be reluctant to take a booking that far in advance and you don’t want to be in the situation that the wedding limousine company might say later on that they have downsized the fleet and you will get different wedding limousine that you booked.
Ask people you know who were recently married.
They can recommend the limousine service they used if they were happy. They can also warn you about companies they rejected as well. Also, ask your photographer. Studios know who shows up on time and who does not. In the wedding industry vendors know each other.. Try to pick only the companies who specialize in weddings. Visit the limousine company and view their cars.
You must make sure the cars are kept in good condition. If they are in bad shape, you can bet that they’ll break down on the way to your wedding. You want to make sure the car you are going to pay top dollar for is in good condition.
You then need to work out how much you are willing to pay for your wedding limo hire. You can hire a standard limo for quite a reasonable price, but the price will start going up when you look at the classic cars and the bigger, showier types such as hummers or escalades. Current trends according to surveys are that the parties got larger and hiring 24 passenger Escalade for wedding or 26 passenger Hummer is not uncommon. Therefore, if you need to cut your limo hire budget cost, choose a limo with less features, I mean do you really need a plasma TV and 18 speaker sound system in your wedding car?
The features of the limo is the best way to cut your costs as most limo hire companies won’t allow you to hire for less than three or four hours so you can’t just have a quickie limo trip. You will also want the limo to wait for you at the church and after the reception. Therefore always hire one more hour than you think you’ll need, an extra half hour for photos and an extra half hour for every 100 people in your receiving line.
Lastly you want to make sure you get the right size. Often when wedding limos say they can carry eight people, that is what they are rated at, that doesn’t include a beefy groomsman or the extra space required for bridesmaid’s dresses, not to mention the bride’s precious dress too.
So for help choosing the perfect limo for your perfect day, contact Star City Limousine and we’ll find you exactly what you need.
