On the way to the reception, she travels with her new partner.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”How many Limousines should we hire for the Wedding Party?”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]This depends on the size of\u00a0your Bridal Party. Having a Limousine for the Bride and Groom is great. However, if you budget only allows for one Limousine then it is more important for the Bride.<\/p>\n

The Groom and Groomsmen usually arrive at the ceremony early so they will travel separately in their own Limousine, or if the venue isn\u2019t far, you can use a single Limousine to take the Groom to the venue first and then go and pick up the Bride.<\/p>\n

Whatever you decide on, make sure that there are enough vehicles to transport all of the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen to your photo location & the reception.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Should we hire vehicles to transport family members to the wedding?”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]The Father of the Bride will probably be in the car with the Bride, but it\u2019s up to you whether you want to hire additional cars to transport other family members.<\/p>\n

You can hire a car so you can ensure that family members and out-of-town guests are looked after and will get home safely after the reception.<\/p>\n

We have Mercedes Vans that will transport 7 passengers up to a Party Bus that has 26 seats. We can cater to any of your needs. Please give us a call and we will talk through the options with you.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”When should we book the vehicles?”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]This depends on type of vehicle that you are wanting, and the date of your wedding. Our cars are often booked out well in advance, so it is important to start looking for a wedding vehicle as soon as you have set a date.<\/p>\n

The peak time for weddings is March to June &\u00a0September to November. The earlier you book, the more chances you have to secure your particular date, and it is just one less thing you have to worry about during the planning months ahead.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Should the Limousine wait at the venue during the ceremony?”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]Depending on your schedule for Wedding Photos it is important to have enough transport for the full Bridal Party including Bridesmaids and Groomsmen.<\/p>\n

If you want to guarantee that you will have transport to the photo location and reception, it is a good idea to make sure that the driver waits at, or near, the ceremony venue.<\/p>\n

Some hire companies book multiple weddings on the same day and don\u2019t allow for emergency situations. The last thing you want is to find that your driver has disappeared to pick up another couple, only to have broken down along the way, leaving you stranded at the ceremony venue.<\/p>\n

We only ever book one wedding per Limousine & Driver during your allocated timeframe. Our Driver will not leave to do another job until you are finished.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What if there are mechanical problems with the Limousine on the Wedding Day?”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]Our Wedding Cars takes every precaution to ensure your Wedding Day is stress free. All vehicles are checked regularly, and vehicles are maintained to the best and highest standards.<\/p>\n

However, just like modern cars, the unexpected can happen. Given sufficient warning, we will provide a similar vehicle or arrange a full refund of any moneys paid.<\/p>\n

If the unfortunate happens, we will always get you to your Wedding, no matter what.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What can we expect from our Chauffeur?”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]Your Chauffeur will be attentive in every possible way.<\/p>\n
