Start with the timeline
Work backwards from the ceremony. Decide when the bride needs to leave, how long the real drive takes at that hour on that day of the week, and how much time the photographs need before and after. Add a buffer. Wedding timelines always slip, and a car that waits is better than one that rushes.
Decide how many cars you need
- The bridal car, and often a separate car for the groom.
- A car or two for the bridal party, depending on size.
- A Mercedes Sprinter or Executive Van to move guests between ceremony and reception.
- The Stretch Limousine for the arrival or the exit, if you want the occasion.
Running them as one coordinated fleet means everyone arrives at the right place at the right time and nobody is left calling around.
Do a dry run of the route where it matters
If the venue is tricky to find, the access road is narrow or the ceremony is somewhere remote, a dry run of the route avoids surprises on the day. Share the venue contact and the final addresses with your driver in advance.
Questions to ask any wedding car supplier
- Will the car and driver be confirmed in writing, with the date, times and addresses?
- How will you coordinate with the planner and the venue?
- Are ribbons and presentation included?
- What happens if the timing shifts on the day?
- Can the same team run the late-night return after the reception?
Book early
Popular dates fill up, and the right cars go first. Send the date, the venues and the number of cars and guests through our weddings and events page or the special request form, and a person will price it and plan it with you.
