How Do You Plan For Your Wedding Transportation?

By: Jerry Leung


When you are choosing your wedding transportation, you have to consider a number of factors. For example, you will need to ensure that the cars will come on time. A badly planned transportation can easily ruin your wedding. It will be a mess if the groom cannot show up on time due to the problem of transportation. As a consequence, you need to plan it with care. The followings are some tips for your planning.

Selecting the vendor

The first thing you need to do is to choose a vendor for your wedding transportation. You should ask for the opinions of your friends, relatives and also family members who have experiences in selecting such a vendor. You should consult them to see if the reputation of a particular company is good or not. You should avoid selecting a vendor with bad reputation.

Most probably you will do your researches using the web and bridal magazines. However, you should not choose the vendor by just reading the advertisements or the websites. There are vendors who do not own any vehicle. Instead they are just brokers of the companies which actually provide the vehicles.

These vendors without any vehicles will contact different companies which own the cars to see if they can take a job. As a result you will never know who is in fact providing you the vehicles. It will be at your risk to hire such vendors since you will have nearly no control on the quality and services.

The situation will be worse if the vehicles do not show up during your wedding. You will certainly try to avoid such case happening. As a result, the reputation of the vendor should be the number one consideration when you are selecting the wedding transportation.

Time to place order

Normally, you will need to place your order six months before your big day. You will need to place the order even earlier if you are going to have your wedding on a day which is very popular for weddings.

Signing a contract

It is a must for you to sign a contract with your wedding transportation vendor. In fact you should request to sign contracts with all the wedding services providers. You need to write down all the details of the services provided by the vendors in the contract. For your transportation, you need to write down the liability if there is accident. Most probably the vendor will arrange insurance for that.

Besides, you will need to ask if there will be any penalty if the vehicles do not show up on your big day. You also need to discuss with the vendor about the itinerary since you may need to travel from place to place. You have to consider and reconsider the itinerary thoroughly before you make your final decision.

Dress code of the drivers

The last thing you need to consider is the dress code of the drivers. You have to ask the vendor how the drivers will dress on your big day. You may even need to discuss with the vendor if you have any special requirements on the dress code of the driver.
