Wedding Day Transportation Tips – Choosing The Right Company

A wedding is a union of two people who come together to share their lives, hopefully, forever.

The fantasy for weddings is for it to be a perfect and flawless affair where everything goes to plan and everything is somewhat straight out of a wonderful Disney film.

Talk to various wedding planners and people who have had to organize weddings before and you will find that the reality is way different.

There are a lot of aspects that you have to plan for when you are looking to organize a wedding.

From the music, to the venues, to the food, everything has to be absolutely spot on… and this can cause a lot of stress for many people. And it’s no different with selecting a reliable and quality wedding transportation company in phoenix for bride, groom and their guests…

So let’s give you some wedding day transportation tips to help you with choosing the right scottsdale / phoenix wedding limousine transportation company. One aspect of a wedding that is not talked about often is: phoenix wedding transportation.

There are many different types of wedding transportation you should consider when you are deciding what type of wedding transport to use. The type will depend on what your budget is for the event and what your budget is for transport.

It may also depend on how many guests are going to attend your special event and also how far you and the other guests will have to travel to get to where you are going to have the special event. Things like weather conditions will also have to be taken into account. We will discuss some of these things in this article but for more detailed information on wedding transportation you should visit this website: Weddingwire.com. If you are living a few meters or yards from the church, then you might think you probably do not need any transportation at all.

However, having the bride and groom arrive at the church on time requires reliable transportation… Unfortunately, all too often the best man, or maid of honor is late… And if relied on to transport the bride or groom… disaster can strike… What if the best man’s car breaks down? Does he have AAA? Does he have a back up plan? What if the bride is planning on being transported in the maid of honor’s vehicle… but she doesn’t show up on time?

It is always best when planning a wedding to make a reasonable allotment for transportation costs at least 12 months in advance… These usually are quite reasonable in the range of $500-$700

You definitely don’t want to cut corners on the wedding transportation as reliable transportation to the wedding venue and wedding reception venue reduces stress and ensures the smooth flow of your special day.

Your phoenix wedding planner will also love you for doing things right and not skimping on the wedding day transportation for you, your bridal party and possibly your guests.

Most brides spend so much on the wedding flowers, dress, caterers etc… that they forget all about the importance of transportation for themselves and their guests. A wedding truly flows more smoothly when wedding limo transportation is arranged from the Wedding Ceremony, to the Wedding Reception… for bride and groom and bridal party.

In addition, your guests will love the convenience of having limo or bus transportation both to and from the wedding reception after your scottsdale / phoenix wedding.

If the happy couple are planning to serve alcohol at the wedding reception, it almost certain that they should have professional wedding transportation. I professional, licensed wedding transportation or limo company will have millions of dollars of liability insurance and will ensure your guests get home safe after having a fantastic time at your wedding reception.

Is it really worth it to save a few bucks on cheaper wedding transportation from a lower rated, uninsured or questionable… but cheap limo company? Definitely not… Again, in AZ many limo services are running without insurance. Be sure to check for records that show any limo operator, party bus company etc, is both insured and licensed in AZ. And of course, budget ahead of time so that your special day features reliable and convenient transportation for you and your guests… Depending on your budget, we have narrowed down two of the most exceptional wedding transportation companies in the phoenix area.

Our recommended limousine service vendors are based on dozens of actual client reviews on wedding wire, Google reviews and our clients. One nice benefit of having a reliable transportation company is your bridesmaids and other guests are definitely going to arrive at the wedding on time. This is huge and goes a long way to having your special day run smoothly.

If you are on a tight budget you will probably need a bus service or smaller limousine, which will take only your bridal party from one meeting point to the venue.

Be sure to state this in your invitations though.

This option is great for people who live out of town and would probably get lost if you gave them directions to the place. If you are not on a shoestring budget and you have quite a bit to splash out, you could consider some luxury limousines and party bus rentals. A phoenix wedding limousine would do this job quite well and is able to seat quite a number of people. Just make sure you are not stingy and pack too many in a limo though.

There are different modes of transportation you have to consider when you are talking about this type of transportation. Starting with cars, these are the most commonly used nowadays. The family or couple with a tight budget will probably choose a luxurious car such as a Scottsdale limousine or towncar, a hummer or something of that kind while a more modest family would consider a normal car or SUV to be adequate.

Before you make the final decision on which type of wedding transportation you would like to have at your special event, you should do some research…

Make sure that the limo company allows you to inspect the exact limousine, shuttle bus or stretch hummer that will be used for your wedding day transportation…

Again, also make sure to verify they are licensed and insured to operate in AZ.

Is the vehicle in perfect running condition and is it well maintained? How is the paint and interior condition?

Is there is a driver and back up driver guaranteed in case of emergency… who exactly will be the chauffeur and drive the car?

Make sure to get this information in writing before you finalize all the paperwork, sign the contract and pay for the service.

One other mode of transport you could also opt for when it comes to your special event is the carriage…

This option is obviously for the couple and not for the guests. It of course is an elegant idea, but remember the weather conditions, and that horse drawn carriages do not offer the luxury of a limousine. Again, who will be the rider that handles the horses? Is the carriage in great condition? The advantage of this is that it is more romantic than the other forms of transport but the disadvantage includes the fact that it is not suitable for long distances.

You should also take weather into account when dealing with this option because traveling in a carriage in the blistering heat or in the bitter cold is far from ideal. If you still want this mode of transport despite the weather conditions you should make sure that there is some kind of roof to shield you from the elements but I would advise something else.

Bring umbrellas and have them ready in the carriage in case of unexpected rain. Also have a blanket ready in case the temperature drops, it becomes windy outside or you just want to cuddle as you are swept away to your wedding reception…

Another mode of transport you could also opt for, and this would be suitable for weddings held at the beach, is water transport.

Of course there are many destination wedding locations where this would be a good option such as in California, Mexico, Hawaiian Wedding and so forth.

Now this could be more expensive, but you could hire a yacht for the day or something and you could use it for the special event.

If you do not have much to spend, you should stay away from this one,  but it is one of the more romantic options involved with destination weddings. Just make sure that you have everything in place before the special event and call the company to make sure in the days preceding the wedding.
