Consider Your Needs
The first step in planning your wedding transport is to assess your specific needs. Think about the following:
- Guest List: How many guests will require transport?

Budgeting
Creating a transportation budget is essential. Consider the following factors:

- Additional Fees: Be aware of extra charges such as fuel, mileage, and waiting time.

Booking in Advance
To ensure availability, it’s advisable to book your wedding transport well in advance. Here are some tips:
- Book Early: Aim to secure your transport at least six months before the wedding.
- Confirm Details: Double-check pick-up and drop-off locations and times.
- Be Flexible: If your date is not set in stone, consider off-peak times for better rates.
Communication with Vendors
Clear communication with your transportation provider is key. Make sure to:
- Share your timeline with us to ensure we can accommodate your schedule.
- Discuss any special requests or needs you may have.
- Provide contact details for day-of coordination.
Rehearsal
If possible, conduct a rehearsal on the day before your wedding. This allows you to:
- Test routes and travel times.
- Final check on vehicle arrangements.
- Meet your drivers and discuss any last-minute details.
