Chicago Wedding Transportation Tips

3/22/2012

          Wedding season is right around the corner and everyone is starting to lock in  transportation for their big day! Everyone wants their wedding to be exactly as they have always dreamed it would be: the photographer that finds the perfect lighting, cinematographer that can smoothly transition from scene to scene, transportation that makes you feel like a high roller and a DJ that can play the perfect mix that even get grandma out on the dance floor. Here are three important tips to keep in mind  when  booking your wedding transportation:

- Watch out for excessive fees. Including gratuity is pretty standard in the industry but many companies will also try to charge you a fuel surcharge and sales tax (this tax does not exist in Illinois).

- Ask what each company can provide you with that is unique to the competition. Most will just throw in a bottle of champagne and some ice. This is your big day, see if you can get something more. For Example: Limotainment differentiates itself from the competition by providing a concierge, along with the driver, to ensure everything runs smoothly, additional champagne & beer on board along with red carpet service.

- Watch out for "Farm Out Companies!" A farm out company typically has a website that provides every type of transportation:  a wide variety of stretch hummers, coach buses, stretch SUVs, party buses, stretch limos, etc. You say: "Wow! These guys have everything!" In reality these companies use stock photos from Google on their website and probably only have one or two vehicles IF ANY! They will take your booking, take a few hundred dollars off the top and sell your wedding transportation to a random company. You most likely will not get the vehicle in the picture, you definitely will not get the same company you spoke to on the phone and for all you know  they gave the job to  1 star service . Ask if they actually own the vehicle and if you can see it beforehand if you are suspicious. 

Good luck on your wedding planning and keep these three tips in mind!
