Wedding Car Characteristics

December 20th, 2011

As you finalise your decision on which wedding cars you are going to go for, you might get a little confused on which cars to go for. A limo is not necessarily built to be a wedding car. However, when you find a few details or characteristics about it, you soon realize that it fits the description, and can be the car that you go for.

A wedding car will basically offer you a lot of room. Modern luxury cars such as the Bentley Arnage, Rolls Royce Phantom and the Bentley Flying Spur all offer you a lot of cabin space. They are built with the bigger dimensions of an executive car. Because they only offer space for 4 passengers, each one gets plenty of leg and elbow room. For a wedding bride, this means the wedding dress, regardless of size can be comfortably accommodated. There are many features provided too to create an ambient in-limo environment that will be soothing and relaxing at the same time. Even for the classics that lack in the modern features, they still provide you with the characteristic interior.

Weddings are the occasions where limos get used the most, so it’s not surprising that a lot of luxury cars offer you the attributes you want. Complementary bubbly is often offered in each of these cars. It’s the perfect reducer of those prenuptial nerves that hit you before you get to the venue of the wedding.

Get quotes for the luxury cars that have pleased you, even if for comparison purposes only. At the end of the day, the information will help you finalize on the decision.

Making Your Budgetary Considerations

December 15th, 2011

Weddings are expensive. Planning one and ensuring that everything is in order is a tough job. But you probably know that already. You also know the essence of having a budget in place. It is the thing that guides the expenditures you make. And as a rule, you need to make sure that you overestimate how much things are going to cost to avoid running out of money before you have take care of everything. Do you have some amount set aside for your wedding cars? You should. Limousines bring more color to your wedding, and you will appreciate every photo you take alongside it.

One very important thing to do is to ensure you understand what your limo hire budget will get you. The industry will offer you lots and lots of compelling options, and the unfortunate news is that there are some that you won’t be able to afford for the length of time that you may desire. Find out about the different models that are being offered for hire, and match them against your budget. Even if you have to revise your budget, make sure you are comfortable with the changes you make. If having the Rolls Royce is a little farther away from your reach, the Baby Bentley can save the day. It’s classy and awesome too, and you won’t regret its company.

Here’s a tip- if your budget is rather limited, refrain from getting an open-ended package. It’s very expensive, and sometimes unnecessary as a standard 3-hour package has in many cases proved sufficient.

Choosing Your Wedding Car Provider

December 10th, 2011

When you hire a limousine for your wedding day, it usually takes care of all your transportation needs for the day, or just the most important parts of it. Given the gravity of it all, you need to ensure that you get the right provider for your wedding cars. Any good provider will offer you an unspoken guarantee of delivering on the pre-agreed day without fail. 

There are a few things that set apart a good wedding car hire firm. For starters, they offer more than just one choice. You not only get treated to the choice of modern luxury cars, you also get limousines and classic cars to select from. Getting to the final choice might be a little overwhelming, but you are usually happier with your decision when you have narrowed it from a long list. Ensure the provider is well insured, and meets all the legal requirements. The amount you pay for hiring the limo, covers your insurance as well should anything happen. But a good company always offers good chauffeurs, so you don’t really need to worry about that.

Finally, the wedding car provider you go for should have practical prices for limo hire, Understand first that there are different limo hire seasons, and prices differ for each one. Different kinds of limos have different hire prices as well. Generally speaking though, it should be in the realm of affordable. It helps when you get flexibility in your payment options as well. It’s more convenient for you.

Benefits of Whole Day Bookings

December 5th, 2011

Wedding car hire firms basically offer two kinds of deals to couples looking for limos and wedding cars. You either get a standard package that gives you three hours with the limo or an open-ended one, where you spend as much time with the limo as you want.  Most limo hire firms offer the standard package, with the open ended one being offered to the clients that request it.

When you choose to spend an unspecified number of hours with the limo, you are usually charged by the hour. But moving past the financial part, booking for such many hours has its benefits. For starters, it offers more convenience. You don’t need to hurry your time with the car since you have it for a longer time. You also get more flexibility, since the limo is under your command, and can go as many places as you please so long as this has initially been agreed on.

Your photography sessions become more specialized. You can choose different photo destinations, and travel to all of them when you have an open-ended package. It’s even possible to take a symbolic drive after the ceremony with your new spouse to mark your new life together.

The only downside to these whole day bookings is that they are pricey, depending on the specific limo that you decide to go for. An open-ended package is usually better for wedding cars such as the Mercedes S Class as the cumulative figure is not so big. Booking a Rolls Royce Phantom for a whole day is a lot pricey, and you need a relatively big budget for it.

A Wedding on a Weekday

November 30th, 2011

Even with all the hype attached to weddings, it’s their meaning that is usually celebrated. Most couples choose to have their weddings on weekends. It makes sense weekends are when most people are free from their employment commitments and have time. Over time this has been adopted as the ideal, and most couples consequently choose to exchange their vows between Friday and Sunday.

If you don’t buy into the tradition, you could opt for a weekday wedding instead. All your close relatives and acquaintances will hurriedly free their schedule to be in attendance. Based on the kind of preparation, a weekday wedding can be as awesome as a weekend one. And there are certainly advantages to it. For instance, the probability of getting the wedding cars you want increases as bookings are usually more reserved for weekends. Most limo hire firms, or at least those who remain competitive, offer discounted rates for their weekday bookings. This means that you can afford luxury cars generally thought to be pricey such as the Rolls Royce.

To make the most of your weekday wedding, you need to cautiously plan your wedding. This means picking the best venue that is free from traffic, both vehicle and human. The good news is that wedding venues are themselves freer during the weekdays. In these times when brides compete for the best everything, getting ahead might mean making a change. And if all it takes to get your dream wedding is a change of day, then its not really a huge sacrifice.

Keeping Wedding Car Hire Costs Down

November 26th, 2011

Wedding car hire services are generally affordable, thanks to the popularity that luxury cars have picked over the years. But this affordability is still not as low as many would like it to be. You should be happy to know that it’s possible to get a good hire price for your wedding cars, if you have a clue on what you are supposed to do.

Try sticking to standard packages. These are usually predefined by the firm, and usually contain an all-inclusive price for a period of three hours with the limo. Three hours is just about enough time with a limo, unless you are planning on having a long ceremony for some reason. While a standard package might deny you the pleasure of having the limo to yourself for the entire day, it does keep the hire costs down. An open ended package has its advantages, but as far as making the limo more affordable, it does the exact opposite. Leave these kinds of packages to those who have more to spend.

Refrain from having too many extras in your package. You don’t need to have a rare bottle of wine if there are already complementary drinks availed. You can have a red carpet waiting for you at the venue instead of having one with the limo. The goal here is to rid off all the extras that seem unnecessary. Finally, make sure you get the final figure that covers everything. This way you know how much you expect to pay, and can save up for it.

For The Most Professional Service

November 23rd, 2011

Professional service is perhaps one of the most important things to look for when searching for a limo hire service. There are many limo hire firms offering different kinds of wedding cars, and the competition has made everything a little more affordable. Regardless, one still pays quite a lump sum to be able to soak up in the luxury that a limousine provides, so if anything, you expect the service to be out of this world.

We offer more than most other firms in terms of experience and limo variety, and these are the two things that distinguish any limo hire firm. With over a decade and a half of professional service provision, our reputation precedes us, and our popularity is clearly displayed in our many years of existence.

For all the wedding cars you want to hire, a quote is offered. It’s not the final price, as we encourage price discussions through package customization, and multiple limo hiring. When you place your reservations for your limo of choice, the final price is indicated, together with all the other details that you have provided, like the day of the hire, the number of people, and where to be picked up.

Chauffeurs come with every limo or luxury car hired. Regardless of whether you are booking the Mercedes S Class which carries only three passengers, or the H2 Hummer which can carry sixteen, a chauffeur is provided to drive you. They accord respect and professionalism, so you can feel safe when they take the wheel.

What You Need To Know About Limo Hire

November 19th, 2011

Learning the how to’s of wedding car hire is not hard, especially now that the booking process has been made so intuitive and so simple. But there are some things that are not directly pointed out, and these are the same thing that you need to know about limo hire. Often some people forget to make certain confirmations, and a few are highlighted below.

The first is the size of the wedding car that you are getting. What you see in the photos will be different from what you experience, so sizing up the wedding car you chose is important.  You need to ascertain that your dress will fit and you will be comfortable. The luxury saloons provided by Finishing Touch have abundant cabin space as they are all executive-sized. Any dress will fit, but you are encouraged to make sure that it does by getting some face time with your limo.

With limo hire, you won’t need to think about getting your own chauffeur as the firms always provide one with every limo they hire out. They are always elegantly dressed and they always accord you all the respect you deserve. As far as complementing your wedding’s color scheme goes, you could define the chauffeur’s code of dressing, though this is in most cases, unnecessary.

What limit your time with the limo is usually the charges, but if you have deep pockets, you are free to hire a wedding car for as long as it pleases you. Hire for a full day or even a second day if you feel you want to and can afford it.

Multiple Car Hiring

November 14th, 2011

Statistically speaking, most couples that get married prefer to hire only one luxury car. This makes sense- after all one car will suffice in making the ceremony classier. Besides hiring one luxury car is already expensive, considering it’s not the only incurrence that comes with planning a wedding. Always keep in mind one thing though- that hiring only one car for your big day is a trend and it is a preference, but it’s never a restriction.

For the couples that have more to spend, hiring more than one wedding car is not unusual. Usually, a high-end luxury car such as the Rolls Royce is hired as the car for the bridal couple. The second car hired could be for the bridal party, in which case a stretch limousine works perfectly. Sometimes the groom insists on having his own exclusive ride, and a Mercedes S Class in such a case, is the ideal choice.

Even when it’s not a matter of finances, hiring more than one car does sometimes make sense. For instance, when the venue you have rented for your wedding has limited parking, hiring a H2 Hummer or a Party Bus Limo would be more practical since these will not only carry more people, but it will keep them entertained as they bask in the luxury that the limos offer. Consider whether you need more than one luxury car for your wedding. And if you do, enquire with the limo hire firm to see whether you qualify for some kind of discount for multiple car hiring.

Rolls Royce Phantom

November 11th, 2011

A really flashy wedding is described as being expensive. Everything about the wedding is- from the choice of venue, the number of guests invited, the bridal dress, and her choice of transportation. Nothing says expensive better than the Rolls Royce Phantom. For a long time considered to be a reserve of the rich, the Phantom is available for hire, and it comes in either white or silver.

The Rolls Royce Phantom easily stands as one of the most expensive cars in the world. It’s an emblem of luxury and class, and those are two qualities that it generously offers you on your big day. It’s extravagant in all ways, and to have your wedding picture taken when you are standing next to it is an amazing experience that you will want to retell over and over.

The Phantom prides itself in its rarity, so it’s good to ensure that your reservations for it are placed ahead of time. Seriously, make sure that your bookings are made no less than 6 months in advance. It’s the only way to guarantee that you are actually going to get it. The standard package is sufficient, though your photography sessions, or your time alone with the luxury sedan won’t be as long. The solution is getting an open ended package. While on the regular it’s advised for limos that are affordable, an open ended package for such an expensive car is not financially practical. The cumulative costs can easily reach thousands of Euros. In regard, find a way to work with the three hours you get.
