Wedding Limousine Services: Tips that won’t Frustrate you
By: Earl Juanico
On a very special occasion as a wedding day, one would want more than a mere limo ride to the church. Wedding limousine ride is ought to be an unforgettable and pleasurable experience that is fitting to an event of such great importance. Rest assured one would not only want the limousine to show up on time but also to show up in perfect condition. Who would want to sit down, in a beautiful wedding gown, where liquor was spilled the night before?
So how does one make sure that the wedding limousine service chosen will abide expectations? The simple underlying principle that answers this question is that prior research can do a great deal in preventing frustration.
First things are first. One should reserve a wedding limousine at least six months prior to the big event. Do not put cheapest price at utmost priority when inquiring about prices, because the level of service corresponds to what is paid for. To assure that the service is really worth its price, ask to have a look at the company’s fleet of wedding limousines before making a decision. A vehicle that is well maintained is free of blemishes, foul odors—a vehicle one will be proud to be seen in. When reserving a time slot for a wedding limousine, also make an allowance for the estimate time it takes for a photographer to take the list of requested pictures after the ceremony. Limousine companies normally book vehicles based on the time frame that clients reserve. For example, if one reserves a limousine from 2-5 P.M. and at 5 P.M. the photographer is still taking pictures, the worst thing that could happen is coming out of the church expecting to embark on a limousine on the way to the reception only to realized that it had gone because it had another appointment scheduled at 6 P.M. Fortunately, going over the allotted time can simply be an additional charge for the extra hour. But this is something that one must confirm while making the reservation.
Another important aspect to consider when renting a wedding limousine is the chauffeur. The chauffeur should be appropriately dressed for the occasion. A recommended limousine company would employ chauffeurs that meet one’s every need. It is usual to tip a chauffeur 20% of the limousine fee.
Last tip that won’t frustrate anyone is with regards to the limousine itself. Besides being presentable and clean, one should confirm whether the limousine company provides anything inside the limousine such as soft drinks or bottled water. In line with this, it is beneficial to ask if the company provides a bottle of champagne upon request. One should check out extra services such as this because this feature could very well prove as a deciding factor to choose one limousine company over the other.
A final piece of advice is for those couples who plan a wedding schedule within the last weekend in April up to the first weekend in June. This particular period is prom season and most limousine companies will allow for limousine renting beyond 5 P.M. in the evening for a wedding. So if the wedding is set to push through on this period of year, one can schedule the wedding ceremony early in the day, because this is a very effective way one can get the limousine of choice for such a special day.
A limousine may really be a minor part of the wedding, but with a well-guided choice, the whole wedding experience will remain a great memory for life.
