How do you organise the transport for the wedding?

We are trying to work out our budget and are struggling to work out how to organise the car to get to the wedding and how to leave? What do you do? Do you use have your own car at the venue and get in that to drive home or do you have the hired car wait until the reception is over and drive you to your hotel? We just arent totally sure how this is going to work as our venue doesnt have the space for us to get ready on site?

We find the best way is to discuss with you your requirements and then customise a vehicle or vehicles to suit your budget and timing.

The best way to organise wedding cars is to see them in person. This way you can see how they are maintained. Even see how it runs. Have a look under the bonnet and see if it is original.

Hi Shelby, generally the car or cars are hired from pick up to drop off, and an after reception transport is an extra service or some companies will offer a classic car or limousine for the late night transfer.  So generally from home to church, park or beach for photos and then the reception. Or simply from home to the venue if both the ceremony is also at the venue. If you have the Classic Cadillacs, then we would wait till after the ceremony to get some memorable photos with the car or cars. Then depending on where the reception is distance from our base, we would either wait at no cost or come back later to take you to the hotel.

i hope this helps. But please contact Caddyman for further help or advice.

It is totally up to you. We have transported people to the church and reception before and then come back later in the night to the reception for a "getaway" car after the reception to take the couple to the hotel where they are staying. This works for if there isnt enough room at the venue for the car to wait the whole time.

Dear Shelby,

Congratulations! Our method is to drop the bride and groom at the reception return to our base and as most receptions are 5 hours we return at pick up time to take the bride and groom to their honeymoon suite and chrge much less than the 5 hours waitign time. We always suggest in good weather to use a convertible classic car because it is more romantic and very good for late night photography.

Hi Shelby,
It can sometimes get a little confusing as to who drives who where. Ultimately it does come down to a cost conversation as what you want on the day may be different to how much you're happy to pay.
A stereotypical hire would be as follows:
  • Residence to church/wedding service
  • Church/wedding service to photo location
  • Hang around for photos
  • Photo location to reception
 
If you want a post reception getaway car to chauffeur you from the reception to your hotel room, companies (such as ours) offer discounts to this service if booked with a half day/full day package.
Where the costs can start to accumulate are as follows:
  • Distance between residence and church/wedding service
  • How many cars you need on the day
  • Who else needs to be chauffeured? Bridesmaids? Groomsmen? Parents of the bride and groom? 
You can keep costs low by just having the bride (and father) and maybe the groom have seperate cars to the wedding service but then have 1 car for use between the wedding service and the reception. Or even just a car for the bride that you both use between the wedding service and the reception.
Or if its just about the photos, you can have a car pick you up from the wedding service to go take photos with you and then drop you off at the reception. 
There are many ways you can do it and it just comes down to what you want.
Good luck with it all and if we can help further eith any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. 
Thanks
