Wedding Day Transportation

Transportation is a key component for the bride and groom, bridal party, and guests. Typically the bride and groom have transportation to the wedding and reception venue and then also have the vehicle pick them up at the end of the evening to take them to their final destination. If the wedding party is small, they are usually asked to join the bride and groom. If the wedding party is large, they typically arrive separately. Out of town guests desperately depend on reserved transportation or family assistance.

When researching a transportation company, make sure to know the number of guests that will need a ride. After you know this number, you will be able to search through local companies that provide vehicles with your seating needs. Here is a list of standard seating for each of the following means of transportation:

Bus- seats 45-60 guests

Double-decker bus- seats 65
Limo bus,/limo coach/party bus- seats 18-28
Limousine- seats 6
Lincoln town car/luxury sedan- seats 2-4
Passenger shuttle- seats 15-33
Stretch Hummer/Navigator/Escalade- seats 12-14
Stretch limousine- seats 12 to 14
SUV- seats 5 to 7
Trolley- seats 22 to 30
Van- seats 12 to 15

Before signing a contract, schedule a site visit to view the company’s fleet; you will want to be completely satisfied with the upkeep and presentation of the vehicle before signing and placing a deposit. Don’t forget to specify which color you would you like to prevent any day-of surprises.
