Choosing your wedding transport needs a lot of consideration. Not only does the chosen car express the couples personality, it also needs to blend with the overall wedding theme, and is a reflection of the atmosphere the couple wants to project for the day. There are many things to consider and this guide to chauffeur driven wedding car hire should help all Special Day Cars customers with everything they need to think about.
Who leaves in which car?
Firstly, who leaves in which car will determine the organization of the day, the amount of cars and how many people must be accommodated for. The Groom and Best Man are the first to arrive at the ceremony. So depending on distance they will leave in a chauffeur driven wedding car first.
The Bridesmaids and Mother of the Bride leave together in a chauffeur driven wedding car, they usually arrive at the wedding ceremony venue shortly after the Groom and Best Man. The Bridesmaids will wait outside for the arrival of the Bride whilst the Mother of the Bride is escorted to her seat by one of the Ushers.
The Bride and Father of the Bride leave together in a wedding car, they arrive at the wedding ceremony last of all. Photographs should be taken of the arrival and as the bride exits the car and enters the ceremony venue.
Plan your journey route
Planning the route to take is fundamental to timing on your special day. Each car or member of the wedding needs to arrive at their specific time. A good chauffeur driven wedding car hire company will always find the perfect route for you in order to give you peace of mind on the day.
Consider the length and time of journey
The length and time of your journey is crucial, so take time to consider factors which may effect the time. Journeys half an hour down the road can take two hours during high traffic. Always allow adequate time and consider how long you would like to be in transit.
