"Its your big day" arrive in style!

Most experts will tell you to begin thinking limo within six to nine months of your wedding date. Cutting it any closer could severely limit your selection of vehicles, and leave you with a risky lineup of rental companies. On the other hand, don't play it too safe by calling more than a year before your wedding. Some places may not even take your call.

We know you're thinking; you can't cut corners on your flowers or your reception. Many brides try to save money on the limo, thinking they can get by with renting it for a quick hour. The industry standard is generally a three hours rate minimum for weddings, because most companies require at least three hours of renting as a minimum to cover pick-up, drop-off, and all the time spent traveling in between. You will also pay for the limo to wait for you at the ceremony, after the reception, etc.

IThis may sound like you're paying half the time for the limo driver to listen to the radio, but think of it more like paying for peace of mind and insuring that you will arrive and depart safely and without delays. Weddings rarely go off without a glitch. A bridesmaids will misplace her bouquet, the groom's mother is late arriving, these mishaps can happen. So you'll want to request that limo for more time than you actually think you'll need it; at least one extra hour. Then you should consider the time needed to organize photos, that will require at least a half hour, and another half hour added on per every 100 people in your receiving line. You stress about everything else during your wedding; don't add another worry with your limo.
