Prom Etiquette – Who Pays for the Limo?

It’s  just about springtime! And you know what that means! It’s time to get ready and start planning for the biggest social event of the year – the PROM! You’ve got to find the perfect dress, the perfect dinner, the perfect flowers and the perfect accessories. But what about the perfect ride? Have you thought about getting a prom limo rental? What better way could there be than to arrive in style?

But in this crazy day and age, there’s a couple of questions. Who is the one to pay for the limo? Emily Post wasn’t around to ask so we took it to a few people to find out what they think:

“The person that does the asking is usually the one that pays for dinner, tickets to the dance and the limo. You each need to buy the other person flowers so that’s an expense for both people.” – Jen

“If you want to go as friends or as a big group of people, it’s fine to have everyone pitch in to pay for the limo and the activity. Sometimes you just want to go to the dance and not be left out. You don’t have to pay for everything.” – Abbie

“I don’t mind splitting some of the more expensive things like pictures or a limo. If we decide as a couple or as a group that it’s something we want to do, but not everyone can afford, we’ll pitch in and see what we can pay and then if it’s enough, we’ll do it.” – Marcie

“The guy is asking you to the dance, so he should pay for the prom limo.” – Kendra

“What if your school is girl’s choice? You can’t say that the guy has to ask and pay then. You can talk and see what you want to do and then make a decision together.” – Brooke

So you can see there’s a variety of answers out there but no one is disagreeing that renting a limo for the prom is one of the most styling, fun and exciting ways you can get there. Whether your going to Prom as a group – or spending the evening with your high school sweetheart we have the perfect ride for you!  Check out our fleet and message us for prices and book your Prom Limo from Limo 805 today!

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.

Limo 805 offers LAX airport transportation in style! We have professional drivers who will make it their priority to get you there on-time and in style! Contact us here or call us today to book your next Los Angeles LAX Airport ride!

5 Easy Tips to Make your Wedding Day Stress Free

It’s coming up! Your wedding day is almost here! But what can you do to make it as perfect as possible. First you’ll have to show up! Here’s a few tips on what you can do (in advance) to have a perfect day.

#1 First you’ll want to control every possible detail. Turn off the rain, turn on the sun and make sure that little flower girl doesn’t suddenly get stage fright. Sound realistic? It’s probably not. You really can’t control everything, and that’s okay. But you can do your best to prepare in advance.

#2 Take the time to hire the right staff for your event. What? You’re not planning to do hire anyone? Even if you take the time to plan all the details for the wedding yourself, you’re going to need some additional help to get things done. You can’t set up, pick up the food from the caterer, pick up the flowers, take selfies, set up tables and chairs, serve cake in your wedding dress – oops – we forget to mention get ready, get married and enjoy the day. You need to delegate at least the biggest stuff to someone else, and it really should be your close friends or family. You want them to be able to enjoy the day with you don’t you? If you don’t want or can’t afford full time help, you can look for someone to help with the day of. These planners are available for a reasonable fee and have the experience for your day-of help that you need.

#3 Take transportation off your list. There’s nothing more glamorous then being picked up in a limo on your wedding day. You’ll feel so special when you arrive at the salon to get your hair done, the church or wedding venue. Not to mention the great photos when you leave the reception with your new spouse on your way to your honeymoon. You won’t have to worry about parking, traffic, speeding or having room for all those extra items that a wedding involves.

#4 Keep your schedule light the day of the wedding. If you are having your hair colored, do it the week before. Take the time to actually enjoy the day. If you are rushing around from place to place, the day will be over and you won’t have been able to enjoy it as fully.

#5 Take some time alone with your new spouse after the wedding at the reception. Even five or ten minutes alone together will help you enjoy the day and create some incredible memories for years to come.

Make That Hard Day A Little Easier With Funeral Limo Rentals

It’s never a good time when someone passes away. There’s a lot to do and emotions are running high for everyone. Family and friends are on edge, wanting to help but not knowing how. One big help is the use of a limo rental for the funeral.

To make that day just a little bit easier, you won’t have to worry about getting to and from the funeral. Nothing could be easier than just getting into the care and having them take you exactly where you need to go.

Using a limo for the funeral also means that you don’t have to worry about your own vehicle. There’s no last minute issues or problems. Maybe your car won’t start. Maybe you’ll get lost. These are a few worries that we can take off the list of possible problems.

The other nice thing about taking a limo is that all your family can sit together with you. Because limos can hold so many people, you don’t have to worry about splitting up into multiple cars that are all going to the same place. That adds another piece of family togetherness which is extra important when you have a big family function. Especially one as emotional as a funeral.

Not having to drive yourself means that you don’t have to deal with traffic or other drivers. You don’t have to worry about getting somewhere on time – it’s all taken care of for you. And if your funeral arrangements include lunch or multiple stops throughout the day, that’s okay! Your driver can be told your needs and wants in advance or you can modify your plans as you go along. For those that want to partake of alcoholic beverages at a luncheon, there’s no need to worry about taking a cab or finding a designated driver.

Limos are also great because in such a busy area, you won’t have to worry where to park. Your driver will take care of that for you. And you don’t have to worry about bringing all your personal belongings out to the grave site – you can leave them safely secured with your driver back at the vehicle.

Limousine Services Are Perfect For Any Event

When you are hosting an event, you want everything to be perfect. So what do you do to take care of your guest’s transportation needs? Do you suggest they take an Uber or a taxi? What type of experience do you want them to have with you, your event or even your company?

There’s something timeless and classic about using a limousine service. Celebrities, politicians and other socialites have been using limo service for years. There is a certain type of class that exudes from being driven to and from your event and location in style.

Weddings are an extremely popular option for limousine service and transportation. When is there a bigger day in your life or in the life of your son or daughter where you don’t want them to have to worry about small details on such an important day. Do you really want to worry about where to park on your wedding day? What about traffic jams? Who wants to feed a parking meter at a special event? A limo service not only takes these items off your plate, they make you and your guests feel very special and classy to arrive in style.

But limousine service is not just for weddings. When we have a loss in our life, a limo service can really help with logistics. Funeral services frequently use limousine services because of their timeless look and feel. In addition to the perfect look, it is the perfect way to travel with friends and family. You can comfortably fit more people in a limo than any other vehicle. Imagine cramming six of your closest friends in formal attire in a sedan or minivan. It’s just not as practical. You don’t want to have to worry about driving yourself on an emotional day.

You can have this type of experience for your guests no matter what your budget. Imagine holding a dinner party and mentioning that you’ll have a “car” pick them up.

Don’t worry about using an app, calling a taxi or trying to coordinate rides for these special events. Take the logistics off the table and give your attendees the class and attention that they truly deserve with a limousine service that they will remember. And they will remember your event for all the right reasons, not for any hassles like trying to find a parking space.

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

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!
