5 Things To Consider When Booking Your Wedding Car

Your wedding car is a small detail on paper, but on the day it’s the calm ten minutes before everything else begins — and the entrance every guest remembers. Here’s what’s worth thinking about before you book.

1. Book earlier than you think you need to

Popular Saturdays in peak season (May to September) can be reserved a year or more in advance. As soon as your date and venue are confirmed, get your car booked — it’s one less thing to think about later.

2. Match the car to your wedding style

A classic British church wedding, a multi-day Asian celebration and a relaxed civil ceremony all call for a different kind of car hire. Think about how many hours you’ll realistically need, not just the drive itself.

• British & civil ceremonies — usually a few hours around the ceremony
• Asian weddings — 10-12 hours as standard, given the longer celebrations
• Parties & events — drop-off, collection, or both

3. Ask about ribbons and flowers

Most reputable wedding car hire companies, LC Weddings included, will decorate your car with ribbons in a colour of your choice at no extra cost. Custom flower displays are usually available too, and are yours to keep afterwards.

4. Check how they handle delays

Ceremonies overrun. Ask your chauffeur company how they build flexibility into the day, and whether your driver uses live traffic routing to avoid unnecessary stress on the way to the venue.

5. Think about your guests, not just the two of you

If you need to move wedding party members or guests between the ceremony and reception, ask about larger vehicles. A car that seats up to seven can make a real difference to the timings of your day.

A little planning around your transport now means one less thing to worry about on the morning of your wedding.
