Most brides can’t imagine any- thing worse than arriving late to their own wedding. Make sure you arrive on time – and in style – by using these guidelines to se- cure every detail. Outline the Specifics What exactly should the contract in- clude? For starters, it should list the vehi- cle(s) you’re renting – including the size, color, and make and model details. If you’ve chosen a specific vehicle, include the license plate number, as well. Your contract should also highlight the name of the driver(s), a breakdown of any extra fees and gratuity, an explana- tion of what happens if your driver or vehicle becomes unavailable, and any special requests you may have. Create an Itinerary Once your contract is finalized, prepare a sheet with contact names and phone numbers, as well as all pick-up/drop-off addresses and times. Don’t forget to in- clude any off-site locations where you’ll be getting photographs taken on this list! As a guide, most wedding limo rentals last approximately five hours. This allows ample time to arrive at the ceremony lo- cation, get married, and be transported to the reception site. Because you pay by time allotment rather than the mileage, take advantage of any idle limo time by having the driver escort family and friends to the ceremony site. The driver(s) should be given the itiner- ary and directions well in advance. You should also call and confirm these ar- rangements with your transportation the week of the wedding to prevent any day-of fiascos. Be Prepared for Anything On the big day, make sure you have the chauffeur’s cell phone number in case of an emergency. It’s also a good idea to give passengers a copy of your loca- tion and direction sheet along with an emergency contact number (such as the wedding consultant’s cell phone) in case the driver gets lost. Following these steps will get you where you need to be when it comes to your transportation. When all is said and done, you’ll have peace of mind – and a piece of paper – to ensure it all goes smoothly. ❤ Make sure your limo company is registered with the Department of Transportation and has all the required insurance. 1.
