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.

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.
