TRANSPORT 71 Your carriage awaits Ensure everything runs smoothly with our top 10 tips to big-day transport THE FINE PRINT Make sure you check out every detail of the agreement when you book and ensure you know exactly what’s included. Here are a few of the things you’ll need to look out for: How long do you have the transport for? Is there a charge for unforeseen overtime? Will there be an extra charge for photos? How are you being charged? Is it a flat fee or based on mileage and petrol costs? How much is the deposit? Does the supplier have a contingency plan in place in case of vehicle breakdown or driver illness? TIMELINE Map out an itinerary of the big day – how much time will be spent where and when – and share this with your transport company. Here, you’ll want to spend time considering if there are any factors along the way that will affect your transport, such as whether your ceremony and reception are in different locations and if you want the car to stay for photos. We recommend seeking out suppliers who will only book your vehicle into your wedding for the day, meaning they won’t be constantly clock-watching. Discuss travel times with your transport provider and bear in mind some vehicles can travel faster than others! Just because your car can get from A to Be in a certain time, it doesn’t mean a vintage motor or horse and carriage can cover the same distance as fast! Finally on this note, be prepared! Check in with your driver or company the week of the wedding to make sure they have the correct address, timing and emergency phone numbers.
