Stick to your budget

A good starting point is to consider how much you want to spend. Whether you really want to push the boat out and commission a helicopter or save the pennies by asking a friend with a fancy car to chauffeur you, there are plenty of options. Do you want to splash the cash with a fleet of cars or keep it simple with just one? A limousine or double-decker bus is a good way to transport a number of passengers or maybe you’d prefer a cosy two-seater.

Location, location, location

Your venue will be an important factor in your decision. If it is miles away, a leisurely horse and carriage ride probably won’t work but will be perfect for shorter journeys. A golf buggy is a quirky way to arrive at a golf resort or why not make a statement by hiring a famous vehicle? Imagine the groom and his ushers arriving in the A-Team van, or the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard? Or to really create a stir there’s always Del-Boy’s three-wheeler.

If you have opted for a traditional location and you want good fun while your there classic cars are a popular option. A vintage Morris Minor or timeless Rolls Royce, are perfect for all manners of wedding receptions.

Wedding car etiquette

There are few nuptials that escape the notorious wedding party politics, so it’s worth considering who might expect to be included, when it comes to transport. Traditionally, the groom and best man arrive together, followed by the mother of the bride and bridesmaids before finally, the bride with her father. It’s entirely up to you whether you want to follow this tradition. On your wedding day, there are no set rules. Go with what works for you to create the most memorable and happiest day of your life.
