Limo

Dana, on October 17, 2019 at 3:55 PM Posted in Planning 0 6
I am stuck on which limos I should be getting. My ceremony is at a church in NY and reception at a venue in NJ. The church is 2 blocks away, literally walking distance. Would it be silly to get a 2 seat passenger for my father and I to take to the church? Should I get a limo to pick up the bridal party to take to the church and than a party bus after to take us to the venue and the limo be used to take the parents to the venue?

    It really depends if it's worth it for you! I was totally fine riding back on our big charter bus with our guests to the hotel after our reception. My husband insisted on a limo, so we got one! Even if it's a short distance, it's nice to have the formal transportation as long as it's in budget.

    It really depends on where your budget is at, and if you can afford a limo. It's always nice, of course, not silly. But be aware that limo companies often charge minimums. Like 4 hours minimum charge, etc. Of course, that's here in CA. I don't know if they do that where you are in NY/NJ. So, yeah, if it's not too costly, I would do it!! It's your wedding day!!

    Hey! I would contact a few limo companies and see if they have minimums and then plan accordingly. I'm getting married in NYC and they quoted me minimums and some pretty high prices. I am still debating what to do for transportation, but I am actually leaning on just getting a black car lyft to the church. I feel your stress though!

    Hey Dana! As the pps mentioned, you should weigh up whether the cost of a limousine for such a short distance is worth it for you. As you mentioned that your ceremony venue is so close to you, I would definitely ask some limo companies about their minimum hire time as it may have to be charged for the minimum number of hours!

    Almost all of the limo hires are for 3-3 1/2 hours
