Planning a wedding? We do not envy you. Planning a wedding can be one of the most stressful, difficult, confusing and excruciating events in your life. Luckily, we’re here to help you make sure that renting wedding limousine services is not part of the headache when you go looking for limousine services for the big day.
Here’s your checklist of information to gather right up front…
- 1. Who will be riding in the limos?
- 2. How many people will be riding per limo?
- 3. What kind of amenities should the limos have?
- 4. How much are you willing to spend?
- 5. Where are you most willing to compromise?
- 6. Where are you least willing to compromise?
- 7. How long will you need to hire the limos?
One of the most important questions on there is “where can you compromise?” because you probably will have to compromise, whether you have a five figure budget or just what you could scrape together. Compromise is not only a financial thing, it is also a practical thing, and when it comes to something like a wedding, it is even an emotional thing.
Yes, this is something that you will have to contend with. At every get-together, there is someone who knows how to make it all about them. The last thing you want is for the bride’s parents, but not the groom’s, to be escorted from their hotel by limo. Even if the groom’s parents chose to stay at a hotel thirty miles out of town, they still want their limo. If you simply cannot send a limo thirty miles out of town to spend an hour picking them up, scrap the limos for the parents.
Other than that, just make sure that you have all the relevant information and that you are very clear with the limo service as to what they are providing, for how much and at what cost. Avoid confusion wherever possible, even if it means more direct confrontation than you are usually comfortable with, because that’s the only way to get it done.
