Preparing for your wedding day can be a stressful time especially when you have so many important things to worry about. The bride needs to find the right wedding dress, invitations need to be sent out, food needs to be ordered, the photographer needs to be booked, and the list goes on. One thing that you shouldn’t forget is your wedding car. This will become the perfect backdrop for your photos and will make you feel special about your big day. Hopefully, hiring your wedding car will be the least stressful part of the organisation of your wedding. It certainly will be if you follow this guide.
Choosing your wedding car
Before doing anything, as a couple you need to agree on what type of car you want for your special day. This is normally split into two main choices; a sports car or classic car. The latter is a great choice if you are wanting a magical and special day. Classic cars have a really sophisticated and stunning charm about them unmatched by no other. If you decided that this is the route you want to take, you could choose a Daimler Limousine which is a perfect choice if the bride plans to wear a big wedding dress because of the spacious room in the rear. Alternatively, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow has a certain nostalgic and elegant vibe to it which would make your day very special indeed.
Find a reputable wedding car hire company
Getting to your wedding on time is imperative, therefore you need to be able to trust your wedding car hire company to be punctual and respectful on your big day. If you are worried about this, do not be scared to ask your wedding car hire company for some references and do your homework. Keep the relationship between you and the company strong and ensure that they know exactly what you are wanting.
Another tip is to choose a local chauffeur. Firstly, this will reduce your costs because less petrol will be used. Additionally, a local chauffeur is likely to know the area really well meaning that there is less risk of delay and you can be assured that they know what they are doing.
Choose how many cars you will require
Choosing how many cars that you think you will require is a personal choice and will differ from couple to couple. One thing that may restrict this decision is your budget, which means that you may only be able to afford a car for the bride arriving at the wedding venue, or for the newly wedded couple between the alter to the reception. If your budget stretched further than this you may also have a car for your bridesmaids and best men.
When to book
Always book as far as you can in advance. This will not only reduce the amount of stress in the time just before your wedding, but it will also avoid disappointment. If your wedding day falls on a peak time such as Valentines day, Bank holidays or in the summer, wedding car hire companies can often get booked up quickly.
Hopefully, this guide will have broken down exactly what you need to do and take a lot of weight off your shoulders. After all, remember that your wedding is supposed to be fun and enjoyable and the wedding planning should be the same.
