Horse Drawn Carriage

We're kicking off with the most traditional form of wedding transportation - the horse drawn carriage. While it was almost certainly not the first thing that sprang to your mind when you thought about organising transportation for your wedding, it's something your bride will likely have thought about, especially if she considers her wedding a fairytale. It's probably the most romantic of the options. You could possibly surprise her with this after the ceremony, or arrange for it to take her to the ceremony.

The Limousine

Another quite traditional option. There are lots of sizes and colours available nowadays - it's probably best to stick to white or black though if you don't want anything to look tacky!

Classic Cars

A classic car such as a Bentley or Rolls Royce is probably the most popular choice for a wedding. It's more suited to traditional formal weddings.

Sports Cars

Now this is more like it! If your wedding is a little less traditional, more modern and stylish then this could be a great choice for you. It will be great fun to drive but the cost is likely to be reasonably high. Driving something like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. can be a once in a lifetime opportunity for some people. Expect to be able to hire a Lambo for around ?550 per day (though this can vary greatly) and you will have to leave around ?4000 as a deposit).

Party Bus

While normally more of a choice for stag do's or hen nights, if your wedding is more of a relaxed, party type, atmosphere, then you could consider the use of a party bus. This would accommodate all of your guests, would have stylish sofas and seating, possibly a dance floor, bar, and party lighting. There would be staff on board to serve drinks. This can be a great fun way to transfer all of your guests to the wedding reception and get the party started as soon as possible!

It is also possible to hire a traditional red London bus, which would take you and all the guests from wedding venue to the reception.

Monster Truck / Big Rig Truck

Yes, that's right... you can hire these to transport you to the wedding, or even to get married in! These are huge, and some are kitted out so that you can even have a party in the back (like the party bus mentioned above). This is certainly one option that will get people talking!... just make sure it's something your bride will like!

The Helicopter

This wouldn't be cheap but it would be pretty damn cool!! Obviously, if you are thinking about doing this, make sure that there is somewhere near to the ceremony where the chopper will be able to land!

The mode of transport that you eventually decide upon will determine how far in advance you need to book. However, around 3-5 months in advance is normally sufficient.

You also need to think about how the vehicle will be used. Will it take you to and from the wedding, or pick up your bride and take her there? Will you just want something to drive away from the wedding in? You probably won't get away with spending a lot of money getting a Ferrari to take you, and then not sorting anything for your bride!

When agreeing the price with the company from who you are hiring, make sure you understand everything that is included in the price. How many hours can you have it for? Is fuel included? Do they charge you extra per mile? Is gratuity included if you have a driver? Most companies will normally offer you extras such as Champagne, and flowers, but it normally works out cheaper if you buy these yourself.
