5 Elements of Wedding Day Transportation You Should Delegate

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 16:19:15 GMT

On your wedding day, the more you can delegate and outsource to others, the less you have to worry about. While many brides and grooms find themselves unintentionally micromanaging their nuptial celebrations, many others have found the joy of letting other people handle various tasks. What about the wedding day transportation? Should you outsource elements of this? The answer is likely yes. Discover some ways to do that.

1. Outsource Wedding Party Transportation

The best way to make wedding day transportation painless and worry-free is to outsource it to a professional company. A wedding day limo may seem like a luxurious splurge, but it can be very practical. When you control the transportation, you know that everyone will arrive at the venue on time. No one will get lost, waste time parking, or drive while intoxicated. And you can party with your closest friends in private.

2. Delegate the Limo Arrangements

Arranging for the wedding limo itself is something many couples can - and should - outsource to someone else. Unless you have very specific limo or party bus expectations, this job is likely one that a friend can handle. They might do the legwork of pricing out options, choosing a company, touring the vehicle, confirming the car's arrival, and ensuring that it's prepared for your particular wedding party style.

3. Cater Food and Beverages

If you plan to have catering for the wedding, be sure to include some provisions for the wedding party limo ride. This shouldn't add much to your overall catering tab, but it will make the ride much more enjoyable. Many brides and grooms - and often their attendants or family members - fail to eat properly before or after the wedding. The limo ride is the perfect time to rectify this by providing some healthy food options.

While you can bring some snacks of your own in the limo, outsourcing this job to a professional caterer (or your favorite restaurant) ensures that nothing is forgotten. This also means you get better quality food, possibly even an appetizer-sized extension of your wedding menu. And the caterer knows how to prepare foods for the potentially risky environment of a moving vehicle.

4. Bring Along Style Assistance

Brides, grooms, and wedding party members all likely want to look their best when they leave the limo. So, why not have a designated style assistant or two along for the ride?

Many hair and makeup stylists can be booked to ride along in the limo to help touch up everyone's style before, during, and after the limousine ride. If your stylists aren't available or you can't afford the extra hours, include a friend or family member specifically to help everyone look and feel great.

5. Ask Someone to Make Final Payment

If you managed the limo arrangements yourself, you can still outsource the final step: final payments (and, often, tips) expected when the job is done and while festivities are still going on. Put a trusted family member or friend in charge of handing out checks rather than you or your partner.

Your delegate should be involved enough to know whether the limo or other services were satisfactory but not distracted by many other duties. Once you decide on the person to trust with this job, let the vendors and your helpers know who to go to.

Determining what you can leave in other people's capable hands is an important part of enjoying your wedding day. And you have no better place to begin than with the wedding transportation.

5 Ways to Ensure Everyone Looks Great Exiting the Wedding Limo

Tue, 05 Jan 2021 16:13:42 GMT

Hiring a wedding day limousine is a time-honored tradition that makes your entrance truly special. But if to achieve that grand, beautiful arrival, you'll need to ensure that everyone inside the limo - especially the bride or groom - looks their best as they exit it. How can you make sure you look picture-perfect upon arrival at the venue? Here are five tips to make it happen.

1. Bring Your Stylist

Certainly, the best way to ensure that your hair, makeup, or dress is perfect as you step out of the car is to have one or more stylists in the vehicle with you. This is particularly important if you will make any stops to take pictures, if you have a lengthy ride, or if the car party will be rowdy.

Many makeup and hair artists are willing to ride along to the venue to do last minute touchups and then return in the now-empty limo. You might need to contract with the vendor for an extra hour or two, but it's an investment in a lifetime of good memories and great photos.

2. Designate an Assistant

Don't have a stylist? Can't afford to bring them along in the limousine? Then ask a close friend or family member to ride along as your personal assistant during the ride.

This person would be tasked with helping arrange the bride's dress for minimal wrinkling, touching up hairstyles, or making sure no one forgets their bouquets and tissues. Ideally, too, this assistant should not be a member of the bridal party so they can focus on helping out rather than on their own part in the wedding.

3. Control the Alcohol

There's a reason that people are often described as sloppy drunks. Drinking too much can lead to accidents that ruin your wedding look, disheveled wedding party members, and even fights in the limo. For this reason, some couples opt to skip the alcohol completely - at least before they get safely to their wedding.

If you do decide to serve some drinks, don't provide too much liquor. Toast with a little bubbly - something less likely to stain than other alcoholic choices - and then save the rest of your imbibing for the afterparty.

4. Rent a Large Limo

Insufficient space can be hazardous to the bride's (and her attendants') wedding day look. If the arrival car is too small, dresses will get wrinkled. Squeeze in too many passengers, and the same result is likely to happen. If the roof is too cramped, your glamorous up-do and veil are at risk. And the closer everyone is seated to one another, the greater the chance that an accident will occur.

The answer to keeping everyone more pristine during a limo ride? Go big. Rent a limousine or party bus larger than you think you'll need. Give everyone the room they'll need to stay clean and in one piece.

5. Avoid Big Parties

With or without alcohol, the larger and more raucous your limo group, the more likely it is that something will go wrong. Even a group of friends enjoying an innocent pre-wedding snack or roughhousing among attendants can inadvertently mess up someone's carefully planned look. On the other hand, a romantic ride with just the couple or a parent and child is more likely to promote a calm, beautiful arrival.

Whether you can implement just one of these tips or all five, the result will be that you and your passengers look great for your big moment. Want more wedding day tips?

5 People to Include in Your Wedding Day Limo Ride

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:09:01 GMT

Do you plan to rent a limousine for the day of your wedding? Who should ride with you? While the choice of party size is up to you - ranging from a romantic ride with just your partner to a wild party ride - a few people should often be included, no matter what your plans are. Who are these people? Discover five for you to consider.

1. A Photographer

Whenever possible, have a photographer ride with the wedding couple or bridal party. Lots of sweet, fun, exciting, or spontaneous moments can easily occur in the wedding limo. If no one is around to capture these whenever they happen, you may miss out on some great memories.

Ideally, include a professional, paid photographer in the car. If that's not possible, look for a good amateur photographer in your circle of friends and ask them to be there specifically to try to capture good pictures.

2. An Assistant

The limo ride is a good time to ensure that you look and feel great upon arrival at the ceremony or reception. Most couples do a little adjusting of their hair, reapplying of makeup, tweaking of bouquets, or straightening of ties and corsages. And the best way to make sure all these little touches happen is to have a designated assistant along for the ride.

Many brides and grooms ask a good friend or member of the bridal party to come along and serve as an unofficial assistant. But, depending on your needs and their availability, you might have the dressmaker, your hairstylist or makeup artist, or even a wedding planner's assistant along too.

3. Any VIPs

Is anyone at your wedding that you simply can't imagine getting married without? If so, keep this VIP guest close by. This might be your best friend, your parent, a grandparent, or even your own kids. By providing wedding day transportation for these individuals, you make sure they arrive on time and ready - and that they are deeply involved in your big day.

4. The One Who Pays

If you and your soon-to-be spouse aren't the ones paying for the limo, consider including the person who does foot the bill. Why? This person or persons cared enough about you to make this luxury available, and they often want to be able to share your joy in the moment.

Of course, you don't have to include the one who pays the bill in every limo ride. They may stipulate that this is a gift for you and your partner to have a romantic moment. Or you may thank them in other ways. But be certain to have a conversation and express that gratitude in a meaningful way if they won't be a passenger.

5. A Party Planner

The stress of wedding planning or anxieties about the big day can be overwhelming as the wedding approaches. Even in the normally fun atmosphere of a limo, people can get upset, stressed, awkward, drunk, or even shy. Whatever the reasons for any potential discomfort in the limo, have someone in the car who knows how to manage a party.

This person's job might include mixing drinks, getting people talking, reminding you to enjoy this day, organizing party games, or even talking someone out of a panic attack. Your limo party planner extraordinaire should be diplomatic, fun, resourceful, calm, and good with people.

If you include these five people as you plan your limo experience, the result will be a better atmosphere in the car, preserved memories, and a confident bride or groom.

Why Use a Limo for Corporate Services?

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 16:06:10 GMT

When you think of hiring a limousine service, weddings and senior proms immediately come to mind. To limit a limo's utility to these kinds of events, however, is to make a sad mistake. Many activities can utilize a professional limo to take them from a decent night to a luxury event.

One excuse to hire a limo that you may not have thought of is to transport members of your company, especially for a significant business event. Today, let's go over a few reasons you should use a limousine for your next corporate gathering.

1. Comfort

If limousines are known for anything, it's a comfortable ride. That comfort can extend from special life events to your work life too. Especially if you work for a nationwide business, your fellow workers may spend a lot of time in transit, so giving them the most comfortable way to travel can make a difference to them - which might help you in your business proceedings too.

2. Safety

Have you ever had to navigate an unfamiliar city? It can be stressful, challenging, and unnerving. If you're coming from a different state, or from a rural area into a city, you may have to deal with traffic patterns, laws, and tacitly accepted realities that are completely different from back home, so even confident drivers may balk at driving somewhere new.

If you hire a service with professional drivers, they can work with your schedule to get your people through the city in a safe and timely manner. The driver will be familiar with how the city works and be able to navigate what would take a new person by surprise. This takes the stress of driving off of your business partners and lets them - and you - focus on the work at hand.

3. Efficiency

Another downside of traveling in an unfamiliar city is that you are not familiar with traffic patterns or the city's quirks. With a professional driver, you or your business partners won't have to worry about an unexpected train blocking the road or a surprise closure that forces you to take a different route. All the passengers will have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride, knowing that they are in good hands.

4. Adaptability

When you call an Uber or Lyft, the drivers are often working with limited time slots. You will have to coordinate in order to make it to your events on time, and your drivers will be less accommodating to extra time, stops, or additional commitments you may have to add in with a moment's notice.

Hiring a professional driving service, on the other hand, means that the driver and car are committed to you the entire time you need them. If you have to make extra stops or change your plans suddenly, the driver will be able to adapt to your schedule and continue to meet your needs, so you don't have to stress about finding rides on top of whatever other stressors you may have.

5. Showcase Your Values

Whether this is your first time working with these business partners or you have joined forces with them for years, you always want to put your best foot forward. When you choose to hire professional limousine services, you show your partners that you are committed to excellence in even the little details, which helps build the rapport of your company.

Whether you need to get ready for a corporate event or something more traditional like a wedding, Luxury Limousine Service , is prepared to help. After all, when it comes to luxury, our name says it all!

Tips for Hiring a Limo for Your Wedding

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:04:29 GMT

Your wedding day is one of the special days that create invaluable memories. One of the innovative ways to make it memorable is by riding in a limo. Fortunately, you can hire a limo to make a grand entrance to the wedding venue, reception, photo sessions, or all of them.

However, you need to hire the right limo from a reliable company to avoid hitches. Discover tips to help you hire a limousine for your wedding.

Research Companies

You need to research the potential companies that you can work with before you consider any deals. Try to go through the testimonials from past clients to learn about their experience. Also, ensure that the company has a license and insurance that can protect you from potential risks during the rides.

Moreover, you should find out if the company you work with has backup limos that they can send in case of a mechanical hitch on your special event. If possible, ask for referrals from people who have hired limos in the past.

You might also need to find out if the company offers package deals and extras, such as decorations, snacks, and drinks. More importantly, ensure you understand the cancellation and payment policies to avoid issues if you encounter challenges on your end.

Budget Wisely

Limo packages are available at different rates, depending on factors such as model, size, luxury level, and season. Therefore, do your homework to choose a limo service package within your budget.

However, this doesn't mean that you should only hire the low price limo companies since their services may not meet your needs. When you choose a reputable limo service, you will often find several luxurious limos within your budget.

Check the Limo

After you have chosen the right limo, you should request to see it before the special day. You may not be able to plan about the day by looking at photos. Ensure you check the limo before you make plans about the seating arrangements and drink and snack areas.

Book Early

As long as you know all the vital factors such as the number of people who will use the limo, you should book the limo service early enough. Don't wait for the wedding day to be around the corner to book the service, especially if your wedding is during a busy wedding season.

Timely booking also gives you enough time to go through the limo service contracts before signing. Check every detail to ensure it is what you agreed on. Pay attention to the quotes, deposit due date, vehicle details (type, color, and size), hiring details (day, times, and locations), verification of license and insurance, and gratuity policy.

Ask questions to confirm that you understand the policies. Make sure you sign the contracts before leaving the company. Online booking without signed contracts may not necessarily secure your reservation.

Know Your Venues

When planning, you need to know all your venues where the limo will pick or transport the guests. Calculate the time it takes to move from one venue to the other. With the help of the vendors and event planners, you should know the exact distance and time difference between the locations.

Also, study the roads to the venues. If they have heavy traffic, you can use alternative routes to the venue on the wedding day.

Moreover, you need to plan how you will access the pickup and drop-off locations. Most people ignore this critical aspect, and they can delay getting into the limo due to congestion and logistics issues. You can direct your limo chauffeur to alternate sites to pick you up or drop you off.

Renting a limo for your wedding is a great way to make your day memorable. These tips can help you choose the right limo company and enjoy the service on your special day.

5 Things You Can Expect From Your Wedding Limo Driver

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 16:01:13 GMT

When you hire a limousine for your wedding, you get not only the vehicle but also a professional driver. The driver, in fact, will be an important part of making your experience the best it can be. What are some of the ways that you can expect your chauffeur to make your ride great?

1. Professional Attire

A limousine or executive car of any type deserves to be paired with a professionally attired chauffeur - after all, this isn't an Uber you called while at the airport curb. The limo company should have high standards for their drivers, usually presenting them in a business suit and well-groomed appearance. A well-dressed driver makes you feel like the king or queen you should be on your wedding day.

2. Professional Behavior

Trained drivers have good manners and treat everyone with respect. From small things like opening car doors for guests to big things like calmly managing a potentially explosive conflict, they handle themselves as pros. And since weddings can often be emotionally charged events that must stay on a schedule, you need someone on your team who takes it all in stride.

Remember, unlike your friends and family, the limo driver has been trained to provide service to powerful executives, wealthy individuals, and even the occasional celebrity. By catering to a perhaps even more demanding clientele than you, they've learned to drive safely and smoothly while responding to everything in the most appropriate ways.

3. Familiarity With the Area

The best drivers do more than just follow the directions on a map. They should be familiar enough with the area to avoid problems whenever possible. While the GPS helps with things like avoiding traffic congestion, a good driver tailors your ride in other ways. They'll skip unsightly parts of town. They know where to avoid bumpy, under-construction roads. And they'll know the best angle to arrive at local wedding venues.

4. Problem Solving

The limo driver helps ensure the smoothest ride and the best experience for his or her passengers. However, things do come up that can threaten that happiness. Most wedding day emergencies are unforeseeable - unexpected car trouble, a bridal party running late, or a drunk party participant - so the driver must be quick on their feet to find solutions that get things moving happily again.

Your driver will do whatever they can to overcome obstacles before they even affect the passengers. You may never even know that a problem happened, making this invisible service perhaps the most important one the driver provided all day.

5. Initiative

As with any professional, a chauffeur should be able to take the initiative to do things without necessarily being asked to. While they are trained not to be uncomfortably involved in their passengers' activities during their ride, the driver is also trained to anticipate some needs and make their own adjustments.

Simple things make all the difference for a bridal couple. If they see you struggling with all the stuff you need to haul to the wedding, a driver may take charge of packing it in the car. Hot passengers might see their air conditioning silently turned up or receive a bottle of water. And an observant driver will note how much the couple want to be engaged in conversation or want to be left alone.

These five key aspects of their training and experience help limousine drivers make your wedding day truly special and luxurious. They will handle the unexpected, provide professional services, and do everything they can to ensure your comfort and enjoyment. Want to know more about limo driver training?

6 Romantic Reasons to Rent a Limo

Sat, 27 Jun 2020 15:58:36 GMT

Many people rent a limousine for their wedding day, but that's not the only romantic occasion to use a limo service. You can use a limo to help you celebrate romantic milestones or when you want to take your relationship to the next level. Discover six romantic reasons to rent a limo.

1. Proposal

A marriage proposal is another classic time to rent a limousine. Whether you're taking the car out to the picturesque location where you'll pop the question or using the car to drive off into the sunset after your partner says yes, a luxury car facilitates this special occasion.

A proposal often involves other people, such as a photographer, family members, or friends. And while it can be fun to share this special moment with others, a limo gives you a space to enjoy this new stage of your relationship with just your partner.

2. Anniversary

If you used a limousine on your wedding day, renting one for your anniversary can be a nostalgic way to reconnect with your spouse and remember the beautiful day you celebrated together. If you didn't rent a limousine for your wedding day, your anniversary can be the perfect time to experience the romantic luxury of one with your spouse.

You can rent a limo near your home for a romantic dinner date to celebrate, or you can rent a limo as part of your anniversary trip to another city.

3. Honeymoon

If you think of a wedding as the perfect time to rent a limo, a honeymoon is another excellent time to rent a luxury car. Many couples will use a limo to transport them from their wedding reception to their honeymoon destination.

Whether you take it to the airport, the hotel next door, or your new home, a limo during this time can keep the romantic spirit from your wedding with you as you embark on your next adventure.

4. Babymoon

A babymoon is a lot like a honeymoon. But rather than celebrating a new marriage, a babymoon celebrates a new addition to your family. If you and your spouse are expecting a new baby, this kind of vacation is the perfect way to share your excitement about your growing family and spend some time together before the little one joins you.

A limo to the airport or car service around the city can make this time extra special for your family.

5. Dance

High school proms are another popular reason to rent a limo. Whether you go to your own high school prom or go to chaperone your kids, this can be an opportunity to arrive in style.

You can also take out a limo for different dances: you might go to a Greek life dance on your college campus, or you might take a limo for a dancing night out on the town. Whatever the destination, a limo can be the perfect romantic way for you to travel.

6. Date Night

You don't have to commemorate a special occasion to celebrate with a luxury car service. Any date night with your special someone can become a romantic getaway. Rent a limo to take you and your date to dinner. Or rent one to drive you to a hotel downtown for a mini staycation.

However you want to celebrate your relationship with your partner, a limo can give you the perfect romantic atmosphere to get your date started.

You can use a limo to help you celebrate any romantic milestone in your relationship. If you and your partner want to celebrate in style, rent a car from Luxury Limousine Service . We'll make sure your special occasion is a day to remember.

4 Advantages of Hosting Corporate Meetings in Limos

Sat, 16 May 2020 15:55:07 GMT

A limo rental provides a luxurious way to relax, enjoy extended travel, and treat co-workers and clients to a fun ride. When you rent a limo for business purposes, the large space provides an ideal location to host corporate meetings.

Learn how to make the most out of a limo ride and the advantages of holding your meetings in a luxury ride.

1. Privacy

Privacy is often a key part of corporate meetings, and the space inside a limo offers the ultimate privacy. The tinted windows prevent any from looking in, and the space allows you to conduct a meeting without interruptions or distractions. For example, in an office meeting, a co-worker could come in with news or others may sit in on meetings.

The privacy allows the focus to stay on the meeting. The limo location also eliminates any distractions. For example, if you normally conducted business meetings at a restaurant, you do not have to worry about waiters disrupting the meal to take orders, check in, or serve various elements. A limo offers snack and drink options to enjoy while the vehicle drives on the road.

You do not need to worry about phones, computers, and other distractions while you ride together in the back of a limo. A barrier between the back space of the limo and the front section also ensures privacy and confidentiality from the driver as well.

2. Intimate Setting

Along with the privacy, a limo offers an intimate setting to conduct meetings in. Limos have plenty of space to sit and stretch your legs, but the setting also allows you to focus and complete work. You may use a limo to sign contracts, discuss plans, and make deals with other businesses.

In the close setting, there is more focus on the topics at hand and a lot of time to focus solely on those issues. The setting allows for a personal connection that expands beyond a meeting room, phone conference, or video call. The limo offers an easy open forum to begin conversations, express feelings, and complete deals.

3. Extended Meeting Times

When you rent a limo, you have the opportunity to take advantage of the limo ride to extend your meeting time. You could have a limo travel around the city for a whole hour if needed. You could also break the meeting up into sections. For example, you could have the limo drive you to a restaurant, enjoy a meal, and continue the meeting on the ride back.

Set the meeting time ahead of time, and the limo driver will accommodate your needs. A limo provides the extended time without the need to postpone meetings, cut meetings short, or schedule follow-ups when you do not have enough time.

4. Impressing Guests

In some cases, you want to impress the person you are meeting, and a limo offers a chance to wow them right away. When you host a meeting, you could have the limo pick up a person right at their home, at their business, or from the airport and show the luxury ride you have rented.

Once inside the limo, the person will enjoy the accommodations, including the food, drinks, and luxury seating. The limo is a great way to kick off the meeting and offers a natural way to start conversations. For example, you could simply ask if the person has ever ridden in a limo before as an easy ice breaker question.

A limo naturally represents luxury, and your time spent inside the ride will help elevate your business and professional presence. If the meetings become a regular thing, you could book more limo appointments and turn the limo meetings into a tradition.

Beat Coronavirus - Take Your Slimmed-Down Nuptials on the Road

Wed, 22 Apr 2020 15:53:05 GMT

Do you have to cancel your big wedding plans due to the coronavirus orders against large gatherings? If so, many couples are in the same boat as you, so take heart. Even if you can't plan your big party until later, you can still have a very special wedding day that involves who and what you love. How? Turn your wedding into a mobile affair. Here are a few ways to take your nuptials on the road.

1. Plan a Drive-By of Friends and Family

While you may not be able to invite everyone you love to come to you, why not go visit them from a distance? Get all dressed up in your wedding attire and hop into an executive car or limousine. Call friends in advance to have them get ready, and then take a driving tour to homes to say hello from a safe, socially distancing six-foot space.

When visiting your VIPs, be careful not to engage in any hugging or kissing. Instead, make it a game with special wedding day favors to throw and social-distancing pictures. You'll have great stories to tell, and loved ones still get to participate.

2. Take a Tour of Your Favorite Spots

Generally, when you rent a car or limo, you have the vehicle for a minimum of several hours. Why not use this time to take a driving tour of special locations? Revisit some of the highlights of your dating and engagement periods. Order ahead from your favorite romantic restaurant and enjoy a trip down memory lane in the luxury of the limo.

With traffic at an all-time low in many places, this is a great time to extend your drive to enjoy the scenery of your local area and beautiful spring sunsets. Consider it your own, local destination wedding. Choose a secluded but beautiful spot to make a toast to the start of your new life together.

3. Pick Up Your Witnesses In Style

Even though you can't have many people attend your nuptials, couples getting married may still need a few loved ones to help them officially get hitched. If you have selected two or more witnesses or an officiant, make sure they get to the wedding in style. Keep social distancing rules in place by arranging for two or three cars to go pick up your small group to deliver them to the venue. It will create a memorable day for all.

4. Have a Rolling Party

Still missing your big party? Create a smaller party that is social-distancing approved by going out with your partner, family, roommates, or others with whom you live. A limo is a great way to create a rolling party that's safe and fun.

The driver takes care of all the work while you and your limited party can sit back and relax. Enjoy your favorite appetizers, have drinks, and tune up the karaoke machine.

What to Eat and Drink in Your Wedding-Day Limo

Thu, 19 Mar 2020 15:39:34 GMT

A limousine ride on your wedding day adds a level of both excitement and luxury that few other elements will. But what should you bring to enjoy during the actual ride? Snacks and beverages are a great part of the experience, but the wrong choices can ruin your fun. So what should you be sure to pack? Here are a few do's and don'ts for the nuptial limo.

1. Bring Finger Foods

This suggestion might seem obvious, but make sure you bring primarily - or solely - foods that can be eaten without added flatware or dishes. Appetizer-sized foods are a good choice because they are tasty, require no flatware, and are easy to hold onto. They're also some of the simplest foods to pack in containers for transport to and from the car.

Rather than simply pack some pigs-in-blankets or chips, look for unique and fun appetizers that fit in with the theme of your wedding. Have cake pops in your wedding colors or sliders that feature your planned meat dish. You could even ask the caterer to come up with some appetizers that serve as a preview of signature wedding dinner or dessert elements.

2. Keep It Clean

If you are riding in the limo while partially or fully dressed for the wedding, you must try to limit any possible spills and stains. Remember, the car will be in motion and people will be excitable.

Avoid foods that have a lot of sauces, require dipping, or have fillings that could easily escape. If you do provide dips, opt for more solid choices like hummus or guacamole rather than runny sauces like salsa or chocolate.

No matter what food you provide, include accessories to keep your guests - and the car - clean. Pack a picnic basket with a few non-breakable plates or bowls, napkins, plastic flatware, and seal-able containers if anyone wants to take something to go.

3. Pack Healthy, Filling Snacks

Many wedding couples, as well as their attendants and close family members, fail to eat properly on the big day - often from nerves or simply from being too busy. You can counteract this by providing wedding day snacks in the car. And don't forget to keep everyone hydrated with plenty of bottled water and low-sugar, non-alcoholic beverage choices.

To provide a good meal to anyone who might otherwise forget to eat, opt for healthy, filling choices. This could include things like nuts, cheeses, vegetable sticks, or finger sandwiches. Be cautious with fruits, as many of these need to be cut or can drip juice. Stick with safer choices like berries, grapes, mandarin oranges, or apple slices.

4. Limit Alcohol

Most limousine companies allow alcohol to be consumed in the back of the car as long as it's done responsibly. If you have any guests under the age of 21, check with your particular company to determine any additional rules for alcohol usage.

Allowing alcohol in your limo is a personal decision, and no one should feel obligated to do so or to skip it. If you do choose to have wine, beer, cocktails, or champagne, set a limit as to what will be provided in the car.

You don't want to risk your big day by having any attendants get drunk or act inappropriately. And remember that if anyone hasn't eaten properly, their reaction to alcohol could be harsher than normal.

Snacks and beverages in the limousine help everyone enjoy their time in the car and keep you and your guests fed and hydrated. Want more ideas for the limo ride? Call Luxury Limousine Service today.

3 Tips to Streamline Your Prom Limo Rental

Sat, 22 Feb 2020 15:35:26 GMT

Prom season is right around the corner. With all the planning that goes into a successful prom night, you might easily forget to book a limo until the last minute.

Modern proms have become glamorous events that many teens and parents alike look forward to each year. The right limo will help to increase the safety of your teen on prom night and ensure that their experience is a magical one.

1. Book Early

Prom is a major event at most high schools. This means that there will be many other teens who will want to secure a limo on the same night. You should book your teen's limo at least a few months in advance if you want to hire the limo that will offer the amenities and look you desire.

Don't let your teen put off planning for the dance until the last minute. Make sure that they talk to their friends and define a group that will attend prom together. This information allows you to reserve a vehicle large enough to accommodate all of your teen's friends at once.

You can also determine how much you want to spend on a limo rental when you know how many people will split the rental cost in advance.

2. Plan Time for Photos

Photos play an important role in any prom night. Parents often want to commemorate the event and take as many pictures as possible before the big dance. The teens themselves will probably also want to take a few selfies and post to their social media accounts.

Depending on the size of your teen's prom group, a pre-dance photo session could take an hour or more. You will need to plan ahead for this photo session if you want to include the limo in any pictures taken before your teen leaves for prom.

Most limo companies rent their cars and drivers on an hourly basis. You will need to specify a pickup and drop-off time when making the rental reservation. The reservation can be made for a few hours before prom begins to allow for ample time to take photos that include the limo.

3. Identify Necessary Amenities in Person

A limo is considered the epitome of luxury when it comes to prom transportation, but not all limos are

created equal. Each limo will come equipped with unique amenities that can enhance your teen's experience on prom night.

You should plan to visit your local transportation company to view available limos in person before you make a reservation. This will allow you to determine which amenities are necessary and which you can do without.

Some amenities that you might want to consider for your teen's prom night include a surround sound entertainment system so that the group can get into the dancing mood while in transit. A fully stocked bar filled with your teen's favorite soft drinks and candy can also be a great addition to a prom limo.

Other amenities that can make a limo ride special on prom night are mirrored ceilings, chandeliers, and plush velvet upholstery.

Transportation is an important consideration on prom night. A limo rental allows all of your teen's friends and their dates to travel to the big dance in the same vehicle, which ensures everyone enjoys themselves even more. Additionally, you won't have to worry about coordinating rides with other parents or having your teen behind the wheel on prom night when you make the choice to rent a limo.

Contact Luxury Limousine Service now to reserve the perfect limo for this year's prom. Our experienced drivers and variety of vehicles will help your teen stay safe and enjoy their night.

Eloping? 5 Reasons Not to Skip the Wedding Limo

Sat, 18 Jan 2020 15:23:13 GMT

As wedding costs rise and planning them becomes ever more time-consuming, many couples are opting for a simpler, more fun route: eloping. But while elopements of the past were bare-bones affairs often held at the county courthouse, today's eloping couples want something that still has class, special touches, and fun.

One easy way to add all of these to any elopement is to include a limousine for the day. Why? Here are five great reasons to hire one.

1. It Adds Luxury

Limousines are traditional wedding rentals because they turn a simple trip from home to the church into a grand statement event. No matter what the venue is or how long the affair lasts, the luxurious and unique experience of a limo ride in your wedding clothes and with your loved ones is still special.

Don't shortchange yourself just because you aren't having a huge party. Sit back and let the driver treat you like the royalty you deserve to be.

2. Everyone Travels Together

Generally, couples who elope have very small wedding parties and few guests. After all, this simplicity and privacy is often the point of choosing to elope. And when your party is small, a limousine might be able to accommodate everyone at once.

When you travel together by limo, the few people you have invited will feel special. And you can share this special, intimate wedding day with the ones you love. Everyone wins, and everyone shares the same happy memories.

3. It's a Mobile Party

Even if you aren't planning a big, fancy reception, do you still want to party before or after you get married? The answer is usually yes. So a limousine is a great way to have that party - a mobile party. Limos often allow alcohol in the back of the car. You can also stock it with snacks, add wedding decorations, and blast your favorite party soundtrack.

Having a party on wheels allows you to hit local spots - such as a great restaurant, a brewpub, a winery, a place to dance, or even your BFF's house - for your wedding after-party. You can even get the party started on the road from home to your elopement in a nearby city. The choices become almost unlimited.

4. You've Saved Money

With weddings today costing an average of around $30,000 , eloping saves a ton of cash. Rather than spend your hard-earned wedding budget on things that don't really matter to you and your partner, you can put it into features you really want.

So, what elements might you want to splurge on? Do you want to buy that dream dress you've always wanted, treat your invitees to a luxury dinner, or head off on a globe-spanning honeymoon? What about little luxuries like a sleek black limo for transportation? You don't have to please anyone else, so focus on what will add value and special memories for you and your fiancé.

5. It Keeps Things Simple

If you're eloping because you don't want to do a lot of wedding planning and coordination, choose local amenities that will continue to make things easier. A limousine goes a long way to reducing the remaining logistical tasks.

Not familiar with your chosen destination city or state? Have a driver get you around town for the day. Want to ensure that everyone gets there on time? A limo will pick them up and drop them off. Need to get from the airport to your resort hotel? Arrange for a driver to meet you inside and escort you through the process. Going to multiple vendors for hair, makeup, and fittings? The limo driver will handle it.

Clearly, even the smallest or simplest wedding can benefit from a limousine ride. It helps make your day special and keeps your wedding stress-free. Learn more about the possibilities and amenities by calling Luxury Limousine Service today.

3 Limo Essentials for an Unforgettable Date

Wed, 18 Dec 2019 14:40:34 GMT

Your high school years are among the most unforgettable years of your life. Formal dances, special school events, and dates during your four years at school are moments worthy of celebrating. You may be toying with the idea of a hired limo as part of your special night. If so, a little planning is all it takes to make sure you never forget that evening. Here are three limo essentials for an unforgettable date night.

1. A Close Group of Friends

Often date nights are portrayed as a time for one couple to enjoy an evening together. However, you can invite a close group of friends and their dates to join you in a limo. Group dates are on the rise because they have so many benefits like less social pressure, supportive friends, and the chance to meet new people. Additionally, you can all evenly split the costs associated with a luxurious evening when you share a limo.

However, date night doesn't mean everyone pairs up. You can attend a party or other event as a group of friends rather than dates. Chances are you'll love your best friends longer than you will a traditional date, and there's no pressure to find a partner. Plus, your parents will probably be relieved you're with friends. Throw in a lime and you're destined to have an amazing night.

2. A Solid Route Plan

A limo solidifies your date night whether you plan additional activities or not. You can utilize your limo to pick up dates, travel to a restaurant, escort your group to the event, and then take everyone home at the end of the night. Or, you can make the limo your party place and simply drive around town before or after a meal together.

A solid route plan helps your evening go smoothly. Plus, a route plan tells your limo drive where your group wants to go. Give your driver a timetable of events and addresses. Drivers appreciate knowing your plans in advance so they can choose the best routes free of congestion, road work, and other obstacles.

3. A Stash of Limo Goodies

You need a stash of limo essentials if your limo features in a large part of your evening. Essentials make your group of friends more comfortable and makes the evening more enjoyable. Grab a variety of sodas for thirsty guests, or some sparkling apple juice and champagne glasses for an evening toast. The longer you plan to enjoy the limo, the more drinks you'll need. Don't forget water too.

Hunger can be a problem when dinner is hours away and your energy flags. Include some snacks that won't make a mess or melt. Candy, salty chips, and other treats work great. Try mini sandwiches, grapes, and other finger foods that don't require refrigeration, utensils or plates.

If your limo is your party place, consider some classic group games to play while you ride around together like truth or dare and charades. Or, bring along some cards to play games. Have a karaoke contest. Make sure you have all the right game supplies.

Finally, bring any extras you want for your group like funny props for photos or music to charge your party. Your driver will probably be happy help you coordinate your music via Bluetooth or other media.

In the event of any emergencies, you may need a travel size stain remover, wet wipes, Kleenex, and ibuprofen.

Any date night will be an unforgettable experience with a group of friends, a route plan, the right goodies, and a luxury vehicle from Luxury Limousine Service . Call and ask about our vehicles to fit any group size.

4 Ways to Help Your Limo Driver Enjoy the Ride

Wed, 13 Nov 2019 14:22:47 GMT

When you rent a limo, you want everyone to have a fantastic and luxurious experience in it. One way to help ensure this is to take a few steps that will help the driver have a great experience with you as a customer. How can you do this? Try these few simple tips.

1. Know How to Tip

Driving a limousine or executive car is a professional service. Drivers are trained not only in how to get you from Point A to Point B safely but also how to handle everything with professionalism and problem-solve when issues arise during your trips. For these reasons, you should tip the driver well for their hard work.

Ask the limo company in advance how tipping is handled. It may be bundled into the car service charge, but you will more likely be expected to tip the driver directly. Short, one way trips like airport transfers generally call for $5 to $10 tips. But an afternoon or evening reservation may be rewarded with between $50 and $100 depending on the number of hours and the complexity of your needs.

2. Be Thoughtful

Executive car drivers appreciate small acts of thoughtfulness just like anyone else. Simple etiquette like saying please and thank you lets your chauffeur know that you appreciate their efforts and you remember that they are human like everyone else.

Make the effort to remember their name. Help them carry your parcels or luggage in and out of the car. And avoid onerous requests. Or, perhaps you might even go above and beyond by offering your limo driver a small token, such as a few wedding flowers or hot coffee on a cold day. The little things make for a great relationship.

3. Keep the Party in Check

While you want to have a great time, a wise client avoids letting the party get too crazy. The driver wants to ferry you in style and focus on keeping everyone safe on the road - and any fights, yelling, or inebriated behavior will hinder that. Don't make the driver handle your guests; instead, support his or her efforts to keep things safe.

Plan ahead for potential trouble spots. If you think that drinking might get out of hand, limit the amount of alcohol in the car. Have plenty of healthy snacks and water on hand. Include meals in your party plans.

If the problem might involve bad blood between any of your guests, consider changing the makeup of your group or including others who can act as calming influences. Can't avoid possible feuding family members in your group? Hire a second car to keep everyone in their own safe spaces.

4. Avoid Last Minute Changes

The more rigid your plans are, the better the driver and the limousine company can fulfill them. Call a day or two before the ride to confirm the number of guests, all the stops, and the time table. Be ready when the car arrives and stick to your requested departure times whenever you can.

If you have to make changes at the last minute, give as much notice as possible. If you want to keep the car longer, understand that this may not be possible - and that if it is, you should show your appreciation for the driver's extra time.

A limousine driver and their guests have a positive, symbiotic relationship. If you give attention to showing your appreciation and avoiding last-minute challenges, your driver will surely enjoy their time serving you. And that will make for a better experience for everyone.
