How do you organise transport for the wedding?

Yes, depending on the distance (therefore time) we can deliver the boys and then return to pick up the girls, we just need to make sure we allow enough time so that neither party feel rushed. Yes we can arrange an 'add on', to return the bride and groom to the hotel.

Call for a run down and run through of your day events, we will recommend the best way to move forward.

We liase with whoever is making the enquiry with us.

Many factors are in consideration also depending on what colour Limousine you wish.

We have Black and White Limousines available.

It would also depend on the amount of passengers you need as to which Limousine you require.

All decisions are made individually always taking your needs in consideration.

We would discuss the hours with you in regards to various pick up times and locations.

Feel free to contact us at any time to discuss your needs further.

choose the style that you prefer first and then make contact by email or text, to provide as much detail as you can

Then best to call the provider or take their call so they can explain all options open to you

Viewing the cars is recommended as well and this can be arranged by appointment

call us on 0432474644. Thanks Madelline for the question and i hope your wedding went well.

Hi Madeline, We have many years experience in thewedding  industry and I always recommend personally talking with your transport provider by phone call. I  try to make contact with couples in this way when they email because we have many options at MACPHERSONS CHAUFFEURED CARS and this can affect budget etc.

Let us tailor the right package for you. We can cater for small weddings and the largest of bridal parties - form your own motorcade if you wish!

Classic limousines and matching sedans available to suit differing tastes and budgets. inspections welcome by appointment

You search for the type of car or cars you would like, you can send an email, text or better still make a phone call and chat to your desired wedding car operator.

Hi Madelline, this is a great question!

From our experience this will depend on how far you are from your ceremony, eg. if you are 30 minutes from your ceremony, it will mean that the boys will need to get to the venue at least 1 hour before the ceremony, to allow enough time for limo to come back to pick up the girls.  The closer that you are to your ceremony, the better this will work, and the further you are, there is a chance that you may wish to book seperate limos for each group.

With regards to your after reception transfer, yes adding this to your booking is a great idea, and you might consider booking a limo or a sedan if it is just the two of you.

Best of luck with your planning!

Kind regards,

Regan @ Amazing Limousines

Good morning 

Congratulations on your engagement and best wishes on your wedding day.

Please visit our website for a free (no sign-up required), comprehensive, guide on how to plan your wedding transport which includes some hints and tips on things to consider and ways to save money.

To answer your questions:

1. Do I hire 1 car (limo) to take the guys and then wait for it to come back and pick us up and take us?

Yes, you can absolutely do this. The groom normally arrives at the ceremony 30 minutes before the bride so he is in position and appropriately panicking by the time you make your grand entrance. Locations dependent, there should be time to transfer both groom and bride.

I’m not sure where you are lgetting married or what car you have in mind but you will likely find most dedicated wedding transport providers have a minimum number of hours or a large cost for the first hour which decreases the more time you book. This is to cover the costs of paying drivers a set amount to make the job worthwhile and all the preparation time and costs (detail/fuel/tolls/insurance etc). 

You may wish to utilise the full hire time by requesting your car to wait until the ceremony concludes to take you to an alternative photo location. Your photographer should  be able to suggest local, diverse locations. Alternatively, you could consider a “first look” and pics before the ceremony which some couples favour and then travel to the ceremony together.

1. Can we add on a price to the end to take just the bride and groom back to the hotel?

Yes, this is usually referred to as a “getaway car” and you should be able to get a bit of a discounted rate as the car will be cleaned and prepped from the earlier day hire. For fun and to add variety to the pics / experience, you may want to hire a different car for this task.

It affects our profits but we generally advise against the getaway booking and suggest to clients to ask their hotel what transfer options they have available as some will use this as an incentive to book with them. Experience suggests that it is often too dark for good photos and many couples are too tired/other to remember the getaway car. I would suggest this money would be better used elsewhere such as on your honeymoon or anniversary transfer/joy ride in your wedding car :) 

Best wishes 

James

p.s some tips:

- always use dedicated, experienced wedding providers who can handle the stress and challenges that a wedding presents

- always check reviews and speak to your providers to ensure a good fit

- read terms and conditions. Deposits are generally non refundable

- consider wedding insurance thay covers bush fires, pandemics etc 

Hi Madelline,

Yes we can most definitely do that! Please email us at bookings@luxcoach.com.au or give us a call on 0423406960 to discuss your booking further.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

Luxcoach

To answer the last question first, yes, you can certainly hire a car just for the hotel return – or 'getaway', as we sometimes call it. And sometimes we are booked for that alone. 

And to the main question, most wedding car hire companies will be flexible regardins what transport needs are sought, although many will work to a minimum callout fee – often three hours. For most weddings, transport to the services is required, then to the venue with photo stops in between. And multiply this out for weddings that are moving, say, the bride's and groom's parties separately at the outset and so on. 

I would suggest that if the all the pick-up locations are close to the service/reception location then one limousine might do it – just time it so that the guys don't have to be waiting around for more than 30 minutes ... you don't want them getting into trouble! 

Hope this helps.
