Wedding Cars

Wedding cars can add the perfect touch to this very special day, capturing the overall theme of the wedding and making a statement for the bride’s entry.  From vintage classic vehicles to modern rev engines to horse drawn carriages, there are wedding cars suitable for every type of wedding, budget and couple.

Overall, for those who want to arrive and leave the venue in style, their choice of a wedding car is a perfect way to make a lasting impression.

There are numerous car hire services specializing on this that can offer you many kinds of luxury cars, completing the picture of your dream wedding. Hiring a wedding car is much like most other wedding related decisions, it’s about style, class and your theme:

Select the car model
Selecting your wedding cars is really about mirroring your wedding style and reflecting the style of the couple, the bride’s gown and the overall theme of the wedding. For example, for a traditional wedding with a white gown and large bridal party, formal vintage cars such as a Bentley or Rolls Royce are perfect choices.

Whereas those who are going more a less traditional feel may prefer to have modern sport cars as their vehicle of choice.

Before you commit to which car model to go for there are some considerations that should be made, such as the size of the bridal party and how many cars they have to seat everyone.  Similarly, if the bride's gown comes with a train, the car should have a room for such, especially if she'll be riding with her mother or some bridesmaids.

If you have a good budget to spend, you may simply hire several cars according to the expected number of the entourage. However if you're working on a very limited savings you may consider that option of going to a limousine hire company and see if they have a seven or 11-seater for you. This way, you may avoid compromising both space and budget.

Additionally you need to consider the colour of the cars and whether or not they compliment the colour motif of the wedding and your planned colour scheme.

Plan the Itinerary
Work with your chosen wedding car hire company to establish a set itinerary that will incorporate everything from pick up times, photography sessions and any preferred stops you may have.  This is also where enquires about alternative plans for the cars should be discussed. This is especially important with vintage vehicles that can be prone to mechanical failure. In these cases a back up vehicle or alternate option should be made available and discussed with the couple.

Enquire about Additional Service
You may inquire about other features that may come as part of the package or deal in hiring the company's service.  Certain services to look out for include the ‘red carpet’ which will be provided for the bride’s entrance, champagne service, wet weather options (umbrellas and such) and the late night pick up, where the cars will wait to drive the couple home at the end of the evening.

Book ASAP
If you intend to wed on a Saturday or on acknowledged "peak periods" like summer, make a reservation as soon as possible. It is recommended that a couple book their chosen wedding cars at least two months before your scheduled wedding date.

Confirm All Details
Even with what seems to be a perfect plan, things can still mess up just a few days before your wedding so it is always suggested that you confirm all final details in the lead up to the wedding including pick up times, service details and photography set times.
