Wedding Etiquette for Limo Rentals

Getting a limousine for a wedding is a timeless plan. There are few ideas more generally accepted than there being a limo for the bride and groom at the wedding. In many cases, especially when the wedding and reception are in separate locations, the entire wedding party will get the limousine treatment.

Most of us don’t ride in a limousine every day. We might be lucky enough to have ridden in one for some special occasions, but maybe this wedding is the first time. Maybe we’re worried about who should pay and tip the driver, or how to act inside the limousine itself.

Who Pays for the Limo?

The morning of the wedding a limousine is waiting to take the bride to the ceremony. Who pays for it? What about the limo taking the bridal from the park where pictures were taken to the ceremony? The one traveling with the entire wedding party to the reception? The one whisking the happy new couple off to the airport for their honeymoon?

The good news is these days there are no hard and fast answers for these questions, they’re flexible. Traditionally wedding day transportation for the bride is covered by the bride’s family, as part of the wedding. Likewise, honeymoon transportation is traditionally covered by the groom. Realistically it’s the bride and groom’s party, and if they want to pay for a limousine for themselves, then they should.

How do You Act in the Limo?

Honor the person who either paid for the limousine or is the guest of honor. Allow them the best seat. Don’t dive into the liqueur cabinet, wait for the host to offer it up. Don’t stick your head out the moon roof. Don’t stick your head out the windows either. Always allow the driver to operate the door. Part of their job is to open and close the door for you. This is a chance to be pampered, let it happen.

Should You Tip the Driver?

The driver should always be tipped. Limousine drivers are working a service industry. The contract for the car may or may not include a tip. In either case, you should offer a cash tip when you get out of the car for the final time.

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.

5 Reasons Why Your Next Rental Should Be A Party Bus!

You’ve got a big party coming up! It might be a girl’s weekend, a bachelor or bachelorette party, a church group, a milestone birthday, or just a long weekend! What better way to get all your friends or family together in one spot then with a party bus! Here are five reasons that you should have your next group rental should be for a party bus.

#1 It’s fun! What more is there to say? There’s something fun and special about unique, big group transportation. When your entire party can travel as a group, there aren’t any people feeling left out. The group can continue their conversation from the home to the restaurant to the bar or club or event. There is enough seating for everyone to be in the same place at the same time.

#2 You don’t have to drive! One of the best parts of using a party bus is that you don’t have to drive! What could be better than that? Just like the hostess never gets to really relax at a party held at home, the driver is never having as much fun as the participants. Also, there’s no need to have a designated driver be one of the attendees! You’ve got one built in!

#3 It’s affordable! A party bus rental is much more affordable than you might think. And can you really put a price on the fun that your attendees will have? Plus you don’t have to pay for parking or valet! There’s a cost savings right there!

#4 No having to worry about parking! When you leave the driving up to an experienced party bus driver, you leave the parking problems up to them as well. No worrying about finding parking places together, valet, parking tickets, fees, etc. You can be dropped off and picked up at the location most convenient for YOU!

#5 Did we mention, it’s fun? So important it made the list twice! It’s even in the name. A party bus means that you want to have a party! So take the time to get a party bus rental in advance for your next event and make it a REAL party!

Limo 805 can hook you up with the perfect party bus for your event. Call or contact Limo 805 today to book yours today!

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.

Choosing the Right Limo for Your Wedding

Planning a wedding is a delicate art: you want to make sure everything is just right to keep the event running smoothly. If you’re looking into renting a limo for the big day, you may have a lot of questions or you may know you need questions but not necessarily what you should ask. When looking around at the best wedding limo for your event, asking these questions may take some of the stress off of your shoulders and make the wedding a day to remember.

“What size limo do you offer?”

Depending on the size of your bridal party, you may need a certain size of limo. Ask the company what sizes they offer and for which price to best assess the needs of your guests. Ask if they have additional transportation, such as a bus to transport additional guests to the reception, available in a package deal.

“How do you determine pricing?”

Do they charge hourly or per event? Often limo companies will offer packages that include a flat fee instead of hourly pricing hassles. Packages may include information on number of stops allowed, gratitudes for the driver,and fuel charges. Read the package details carefully to understand what you’re paying for and how to get the best bang for your buck.

“Do you have any references?”

Ask to see references from previous clients; if they are an established company, they should be able to provide you with contacts. This will help you decide whether the limo company fits your personal needs. If easier, you can also check online reviews to read what past customers enjoyed or disliked about their services.

“Do you carry insurance?”

Travel safe! Before you choose a company, make sure that they carry appropriate insurance for state laws and are members of industry groups such as the National Limousine Association.

“How long have you been in business?”

Check how long they have been in business: the more years of experience, the better. This will increase the likelihood that they have worked with similar events and will be able to handle yours well.

5 Ways Using a Limo on Your Wedding Day Reduces Stress

Wedding Day Limo Rental | Thousand Oaks, CA | Limo 805Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, but it’s also one of the most stressful. From planning to production, weddings are a lot of work. The last thing you want to have to worry about is transportation. Here are five ways hiring a limo service can reduce stress on your big day. Planning that once in a lifetime day? Contact Limo 805 for wedding limo rentals in Thousand Oaks. Call today at 805-443-2233!

1. Your Transportation is Already Scheduled and Ready to Go

When you use a limo service on your wedding day, you can take comfort in knowing that your transportation is already planned out well in advance. You don’t have to scramble to find out who is driving who to the reception, or how the best man is going to get there on time. Everything is scheduled and ready to go, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride.

2. The Wedding Party Can Travel Together

When using a limo service, the entire wedding party can travel together. This means that everyone will get to the reception on time – at the same time. There’s no waiting for your best friend who’s always late, or that one groomsmen who’s from out of state and can’t find his way around town. Everyone travels together, so everyone arrives together. For the bride and groom, this means less stress and less searching for people who have yet to arrive.

3. No Need to Worry About Driving

You just got married. The last thing you want to do is to worry about driving. A limo service will take you wherever you need to go, so you can sit back and relax in luxury. Limos are spacious, comfortable and add that extra touch of elegance that your everyday car or SUV can’t match.

And because you’re not driving, you never have to worry about parking, getting there on time, or how you’ll get your car home.

4. Accommodate Out of Town Guests

If you have guests arriving from out of town, you can use a limo service to arrange their transportation from the hotel to the ceremony and/or reception. Guests will appreciate the consideration, and you’ll enjoy less stress because you know those important people will make it to the event on time.

5. You Can Choose a Limo Service that Suits Your Needs

It’s your wedding, so the limo service you choose should meet your needs. This means transporting you (and possibly your guests) wherever, whenever you need to go. When someone else is taking care of the driving, you are free to just enjoy your big day.

How to Decorate Your Wedding Day Limo

Wedding Day Limo Rental in Venutra County | Limo 805 | 805-443-2233Wedding season is in full swing, and couples all over Los Angeles are getting ready to tie the knot. As those last final touches come together, it’s important not to overlook one last detail: the limo. Couples want to arrive in style, and there’s no better way to do that than to decorate your limo. Here are some tips on how to add a little flair to your wedding day ride.

Hood Bouquet

The bride and all of her bridesmaids have bouquets. Why not make a special one for the limo? Hood-mounted flower bouquets will make heads turn and add a personalized touch to your limo. Keep it simple with a v-shaped bouquet that spans the entire front hood of the limo, or go for something a little more romantic like a heart-shaped bouquet.

Dress Up the Door Handles

If a big hood bouquet is too dramatic for your taste, dress up your limo’s door handles instead. Simply attach smaller, colorful bouquets to each handle to instantly add a touch of class. The colors of the flowers and ribbon should match your wedding’s theme, or you can stick with a simple, elegant white color. Make sure that the bouquets are tied tightly to the handles and keep the arrangements small. This will ensure that they can withstand the drive.

Add Signage

Let everyone in town know that you just tied the knot. Adding a “Just Married” sign to the back of the limo is a classic choice. Choose a customized sign that shows off your personality. Be as creative and personal as you want. Once the night is over, you can take the sign home as a special keepsake.

Keep it Simple

Decorations are great, but try to keep things simple. Elaborate signage or dangling flowers off the back of the limo may need to be removed shortly after you make your exit from the ceremony for safety reasons. A classic bouquet or ribbon can normally be left on the vehicle.

Before you create an elaborate decorative plan for your limo, be sure to get in touch with your limo service first to discuss your ideas. Some contracts have special rules and stipulations in place that may or may not prohibit decorations.
