Tips for Planning the BEST Sweet 16!

Turns out time doesn’t only fly when you’re having fun. While it might seem like yesterday, it’s been 16 years since your child was born. With only a few more short years before they’re out of the house forever, you’ve decided to throw a sweet 16 party. The problem is, you’ve never thrown a sweet 16 party. In fact, you’ve never even been to a sweet 16 party. You could hire a professional to do all the work for you. Before you do, check out some of these tips below and maybe you’ll decide that you can throw a great sweet 16 party after all.

Include Your Guest of Honor in the Planning Process

The first thing to do when planning a sweet 16 party is to check with the guest of honor themselves. The party is supposed to be a celebration for them, so planning a huge bash when they just want a few friends over is a surefire path to disaster. Likewise, not planning something big when that’s all they really want is guaranteed to disappoint.

Discuss Venue

Once the size of a party is figured out, the next step is to figure out where it’s going to happen. This can range from the basement or backyard all the way up to a hotel conference room. You want to make sure the venue is large enough to accommodate all the guests will be invited to the party. Budget comes into play as well. Larger and fancier venues are going to cost more.

A Killer Theme is Crucial!

Almost as important as the venue is the theme. The theme is another place where you want to talk to the person turning 16, and not decide completely on your own. Work together to figure out what the best theme is, and how to implement it in the decorations and activities.

Little Logistics

Once these large pieces are figured out, it really becomes just like planning any other party. Make sure there will be enough food for the guests as well as enough for them to do. The overall size of the party will dictate how hard it is to put this all together. At the end of the day though, no matter what the size of the party most important part is for it to be fun and memorable.

If your party is away from home consider pampering your sweet 16 with a limo. Limo 805 provides birthday party limo service in Ventura County and surrounding communities. Click Here to contact us!

Why The World Would End Without Airport Transportation

It’s a nice day. You’ve just finished your flight, picked up your luggage from the baggage claim and walked your way up and out to ground transportation. Now you’re on your way to your meeting in your LAX airport transportation in nice, air conditioned comfort. Your bags are taken care of. The traffic is taken care of. You don’t have to find the hotel you’re staying at. Everything is perfect.

But how would it be if we didn’t have LAX airport transportation?

I can see it now. You pick up your bag from baggage claim and schlep it over to the car rental counter. After you wait in line for 20 minutes, you find out that they don’t have the luxury size vehicle that they promised you – but they offer you a teeny tiny car you’ve never heard of. So you take it. You have to. The rental car agent is pretty insistent that’s the last vehicle left to rent at the LAX airport.

You drag your bag on to the bus – because the airport is so big they’d never be able to store all the cars there. Another 20 minutes later and you’re trying to cram your bag into the trunk of the sardine can you’ve rented. Then you pull out the best map the rental car agency has to offer. A black and white sheet with more streets and freeways than you can read. You need glasses to read it and you don’t even own glasses! You put the map away and decide to just use your phone instead. Isn’t that what Google Maps is for? Except it’s dead…

You can see where this is going. All the hassles and problems that you avoid when you order and arrange LAX airport transportation. There’s so much to NOT worry about. No driving, no traffic, no looking for luggage space where there isn’t any to be found. No getting lost or worrying about driving through a bad neighborhood. Take some stress out of your trip and reserve your luxury airport transportation in advance. You’ll thank yourself later. Give Limo 805 a call the next time you’re in need of LAX Airport Transportation!

The Best Wine Tours in LA for Couples this Valentine’s Day!

If you are looking for something that’s fun and memorable this Valentine’s Day, try something a little different. There are more wine tours in the Los Angeles area than you would think, if you just know where to look. The best part about these locations is that they are easy to get to and from because of their central locations.

Hidden Malibu Wine Country Tours takes you on a day trips to some of the most beautiful canyons and vineyards. With other 50 different independent vineyards, Hidden Malibu Wine Country Tours will show you beautiful wineries such as Rosenthal, Semler, and Cielo. Many trips also include a visit to Cornell Winery which is across from the famous Strauss Ranch. At the ranch you can taste and buy a good variety of Malibu wines, tour their art gallery or shop their antiques.

Spend some time over at the San Antonio Winery located in central Los Angeles. They combine food with tastings to give you a different approach. You browse the prepared food that they offer instead of looking at a printed menu and then order exactly what you’d like, made to order. They have a variety of wines that you can taste at no charge.

Another way to do the perfect wine tour is plan a special day yourself. Choose out a few of the wineries that are available in the area and then relax in your own rented limousine. Take all the stress out of the day with worrying how to get from place to place. This way you and your special someone can relax together and no one has to be left out as the designated driver. If you like a particular vintage, you can make sure that is a stop on your tour. By booking something yourself you ensure that you can go to where you want to go, when you want to go. There’s no waiting for the group at a historic look out spot. You won’t have to wait for a group photo or feel that you need to hurry because the group is already ready to go.

Make this Valentine’s Day memorable and book you and your sweetheart a limo for your next Wine Tour! Check out Limo 805’s fleet and contact us today to get your special day on the books!

Can I Bring My Child’s Car Seat on an Airport Shuttle?

Traveling can be one of the most rewarding and exciting things that you can do with your spare time and money. Learning about new cultures, visiting new places, and having new experiences are just a few of the exciting things that you can do when you travel. Traveling with kids is even better. You get to see the wonder on their face when they get to get on an airplane and see the clouds for the first time. Even going through security can be an interesting new experience for them. And stressful for you. Not only do you have to worry about yourself but now you have a little one to keep track of – not including all their toys, bags, strollers and car seats.

A common question when looking at LAX airport transportation and ground transportation in general is: Can I bring my child’s car seat on the shuttle? The answer is a definite yes! You can always bring it with you. In fact, your child’s car seat counts as a safety item (along with their stroller) which can be checked for free at most airlines (always check with yours in advance, just in case).

If you are concerned about their safety on the plane and they have their own seat, you can install the car seat directly on the airplane seat. Many parents don’t feel the need to do this and it’s not required. It’s up to the parent to make the determination if that is something they would like to do. If you are traveling and renting a car, you’ll need to make arrangements to reserve a child’s car seat as well from the rental agency. Most states have certain laws and requirements that come into play with a child’s car seat. You can always check the state you are visiting in advance. Most people prefer to bring their own seat from home. It alleviates an extra expense for the trip and ensures that your child will have something that they are comfortable to sit in. The nice thing about bringing your own seat is that you know what to expect. If you don’t want to bother with an airport shuttle, consider hiring a limo or driver to transport you from the airport.

Wedding Limo Packages to Consider for Your Big Day!

After months or maybe even years of careful planning, waiting and dreaming, your wedding day is finally around the corner! As you cross off all of the items on your seemingly endless to-do list, make sure you consider hiring a reliable limo service to transport you, your bridal party and any guests of honor to your wedding venue safely and in style. After all, wouldn’t it be nice to have one less thing to worry about on your big day? Limo 805 offers a variety of wedding packages to brides and grooms throughout the Los Angeles area.

Transportation to Ceremony Venue- Our most straightforward wedding limo service is transportation for you, your groom and your bridal party to the location where the ceremony will be held. This is a great way to ensure that everyone arrives on time with no traffic delays, auto breakdowns, or other catastrophes that can set back the start time of your ceremony. Since most couples prefer to not see one another before the big moment when you walk down the aisle, many clients prefer to have the groom and his attendants book a separate limo from the bride and her attendants.

Transportation from Ceremony to Reception- If you are having your wedding reception at a different venue from the ceremony spot, you might wish to coordinate limo service to transport you, your new spouse and your bridal party to the reception location. This is a great way to cut down on parking issues and also to ensure that nobody gets lost or turned around. We also offer shuttle services between venues for your guests so you can be sure everyone makes it to the party on time!

Transportation from Reception to Hotel/Home- Your big day is finally complete, you danced the night away with your new spouse, and now you are exhausted! (Chances are you’ve probably had your fair share of celebratory champagne too.) Why worry about driving home from your own wedding? Let Limo 805 chauffeur you home or to your bridal suite in style! Ask about our post-reception shuttles to get out-of-town guests safely back to their hotels.

Transportation…Plus!- Any of the above packages can also include additional services, such as transportation to special photo locations between the ceremony and reception, a celebratory stop for you and your new spouse to have a private moment before the reception craziness ensues, or any other request you might have in mind. Let us know how we can help make YOUR day memorable! Contact Limo 805 to book transportation for your Los Angeles-area wedding.

5 Limo Birthday Party Ideas

Nothing says “celebrate” quite like a limo ride! Whether you’re turning 5 or 50, incorporating a limousine into your birthday celebration not only adds a touch of class but also ups the fun factor! Here are 5 ideas for working a limo into your birthday party fun this year.

Fill it with Balloons– An especially fun touch for a child or teen’s birthday, imagine having a chauffeur open the door to the limo you get to ride in for the day, only to see a bouquet of beautiful, brightly-colored balloons decorating the ceiling! Now that’s a fun way to get the party started!

Signature Cocktails– Invent a fun cocktail named after the birthday boy or girl, and have glasses of it waiting in the limo for each guest as they get in. The guest of honor will feel special and loved, and the guests will have fun sipping their signature cocktail as they ride in style to the party venue! Best of all, the cocktails can be modified to “mocktails” if your birthday party crowd is in the under-21 set.

Fancy it Up– Need a good excuse to get ultra glam for a birthday party? Want to dress in tuxedos and evening gowns with your friends for the night out on the town? Make your birthday a black-tie event this year, and get set to have fun cruising around with your crew, dressed to the nines in your own private limo.

Opt for a Party Bus– If you have way too many people on your guest list to fit into a standard limo, consider a party bus this year! True to its name, the party bus provides a fun, celebratory atmosphere, with cool lights, music, and a bar. Try the party bus once and you’ll want to rent one every year!

Create a Slideshow of Memories– If your best friend is having a milestone birthday, making a photo slideshow or video about your friendship is a touching gift that will give everyone the feels! After creating your slideshow, be sure to burn it onto a DVD so you can play it in the limo for all to enjoy.

Limo 805 wants to help you achieve maximum fun at your next birthday party! We are available to provide safe, reliable and stylish transportation to partygoers in and around the Los Angeles area. Call or contact Limo 805 to book your limo or party bus for your next special occasion!

7 Stops to Take on Your Los Angeles City Tour

Welcome to Los Angeles! Our reputation for sun, fun and a touch of glamour is known around the world, and we have many points of interest that we highly recommend to visitors to our fair city. Of course, if you really want the L.A. experience, there’s no better way to see the sights than on a tour of the city in your very own limo from Limo 805! Here are seven of our favorite must-see spots in the City of Angels.

  • Hollywood!- The epicenter of movie magic, Hollywood is where all of your favorite films (or at least most of them) are made. From the old-world movie stars of the 1940s to today’s up and coming celebrities, Hollywood is world-renowned for being the place to go to see the stars. While you aren’t guaranteed a celebrity sighting, you can stroll the Hollywood Walk of Fame, check out the hand and footprints immortalizing hundreds of celebrities outside the Chinese Theatre, and enjoy the incredible view of the famed Hollywood sign.
  • Venice Beach– Come experience the Los Angeles vibe at its finest at this world-famous beach known for its bodybuilders, skateboarders, and bohemian spirit. The boardwalk is an excellent place for people-watching, and the eccentric, wacky sense of fun about the entire beach is infectious.
  • Rodeo Drive– Channel your inner Pretty Woman and have your limo take you on a shopping spree on Rodeo Drive! This fashion mecca is home to the most high-end designer boutiques in the world, and even if you can’t afford the price tags, window shopping is always a lot of fun.
  • Disneyland– No matter how old you are, nothing beats the magic and excitement of seeing the Disneyland castle up close! The legendary theme park that just recently celebrated its 60th anniversary is simultaneously classic and current, with rides for all ages featuring the most beloved characters in our history,
  • Randy’s Donuts– A slightly more quirky but arguably important landmark in Los Angeles, Randy’s is known for its awesome landmark sign, a giant, 32-foot donut attached to the roof of the otherwise unassuming bakery. The donut shop has become something of a Los Angeles institution, with appearances in Entourage, The Golden Child, Crocodile Dundee, and perhaps most famously, Iron Man 2 (in which the titular character forlornly munches on a donut inside the iconic sign).
  • Pink’s Hot Dogs– Perhaps the most famous hot dog stand in the world, Pink’s has become famous for its creatively-topped dogs, some bearing the names of celebrities who helped inspire them. In fact, many stars have visited Pink’s since its 1939 opening- celebrities as varied as Michael Jackson, Steve Martin, Marlon Brando and Aretha Franklin are known to have stopped in for a hot dog. Long lines can be found at Pink’s any time of day, so be warned that you’re in for a wait, but it’s well worth it.
  • Santa Monica Pier– For amusement-park fun in a beautiful beach setting, there is only one place to go- the Santa Monica Pier. This historical venue for fun for all ages got its start in 1909, and first gained fame as a favorite fishing spot. These days, you and your family can enjoy a fun day at the pier with attractions such as the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, free historical walking tours, and of course, the Ferris wheel, old-fashioned carousel, and roller coasters of Pacific Park.

Limo 805 can help make your Los Angeles experience complete. Call or contact Limo 805 today to book your limo sightseeing tour and get ready to visit L.A. in style!
