Everyone rents a limo for their wedding, it seems. To add a unique touch to your day, consider using one of the following items instead:
• horse-drawn carriage
• trolley
• antique car
• hay wagon or other farm wagon
• motorcycle with a side-car
• hot air balloon
• golf cart
• helicopter
• speed boat
Incorporating a unique form of transportation into a wedding is limited only by the couple's imagination, their budget, what is available in your area, the location of the ceremony and reception, and the weather. Check with relatives and friends to see if someone has an antique car that they would let you borrow. Hiring a horse-drawn carriage sets a romantic tone for the ceremony that follows. Your guests will appreciate being transported to the ceremony or the reception by trolley. Farm wagons lend a nice touch to casual weddings.
When hiring any commercial vehicle, contact the company well in advance, since many book quickly at certain times of the year. Find out the cost per hour and be prepared to provide mileage from one location to another, since some companies charge for both mileage and time. Provide a simple map listing the address of the place where you are to be picked up and the destination address. If you are considering using a hot air balloon or a helicopter, be certain that adequate space free from power lines and other obstructions is available. A portion of the parking lot at the church or reception center might be blocked off for the landing.
Be sure to inspect all vehicles for cleanliness before signing a contract. Note any problems that you see and draw them to the attention of the owner. Don't get into a vehicle if you don't feel comfortable with the driver/operator, or their expertise.
As with any merchant, find out the amount of deposit required and the cancellation policy, then get everything in writing. If the vehicle is designed for open-air use, it will be particularly important to know what the company's policy is if it rains, is too windy, or the vehicle can¹'t be used for some other reason.
Adding special transportation to your wedding day can make the difference between creating a ho-hum event and a truly memorable wedding day.
