9 Options To Consider When Choosing A Wedding Transportation

Too many options can be debilitating, but just the right amount can lead you on your way to planning the perfect wedding. Here are 9 amazing options for wedding transportation that will make your wedding day perfect.

1. Your Own Car

This is a cheap, sturdy, and hopefully, reliable option. If you own a car and it is the absolute love of your life, other than your fiancé of course, then use your own car to transport you from your home to the wedding venue.

First of all, it is easy. No coordination, planning, deciding, or relying on others to come through on time required.

There will be no running around figuring out whether anyone ordered the limos and why they are not on time.  It will not cost a thing, a very helpful aspect if you are on a budget like most of us, and it allows something special to you to play a special role on your special day.

It is a perfect option to create a homey, familiar, and comfortable vibe for your big day.

2. A Limo

Ah, the limo. For most of us this is a luxury we only have the excuse to use on a few special occasions and a wedding is definitely one of them. Black or white? What style? How Long? How much space do you need? Which services around you offer the best pricing? How long will you need them? How many people do you need to be transported in the limos? Can others be transported in another vehicle that might be cheaper?

These are all questions to consider when deciding whether to go with limos for your big day.

Make sure you consider a wide range of companies in your area and ensure the company is reliable. Getting reviews from friends who might have used their services in the past and checking out the vehicles they plan to use for your event ahead of time are all important considerations.

If you are going for a luxurious and classy vibe for your wedding, this is probably a perfect option.

3. A Rented Luxury Car

Maybe you want to go for something in between your own car and a limo – something a little more unique than a traditional limo, but still classy and elite.

Maybe your own car is not in the greatest shape, or you just want you big day to feel different than a typical trip to the grocery store.

Rent a car that is a little more special than your every day ride to bring an exciting energy to the day without going the typical limo route, which might be overpriced and too large for your needs.

Renting a fancy car you or friends and family can drive themselves will make the day special while still balancing the budget.

4. A Bus

A very fun option! Start a party before the party even starts by making your way to the venue along with all your family and friends. This can be a very reliable and efficient option to make sure everyone gets to the venue on time and so you can spend time happy and excited with your closest loved ones.

Do you have friend that is always late to everything but serving as a bridesmaid? Make sure she is on time by making sure she comes with you.

When picking a bus, make sure you consider all your options and choose a reliable company. Get recommendations from your friends and make sure you check out the vehicles before committing to a company.

You want to make sure the interiors are similar to the vibe of the wedding. You also want to make sure they have enough seating and space to be a viable option for your party.

Feeling edgy? Do you or your spouse know how to drive a motorcycle? Ride a motorcycle from your wedding! This is a spunky and unique option that can feel very personal and memorable.

This means you can avoid the hassle of working with and relying on any sort or rental company and make a special vehicle to you a part of your wedding day.

It is tradition for animals to play a role in wedding in different cultures. In America, for an equestrian bride or groom, this would be a great way to bring a bit of themselves and what is important to them into their big day.

It can be a little high maintenance to have a living creature at your wedding, but with some work beforehand, you can find a reliable place from which to borrow a horse or a reliable trainer to handle the horse while the ceremony is happening.
