TRANSPORT 41 Your carriage awaits Meet local transport companies On your big day, all eyes will be on you, so why not impress your guests with wow-factor transport? Whether you’re looking for a way to get from the ceremony to the reception or you want to make a grand entrance, there’s a lot to take into consideration. Start by creating an itinerary of the day and considering how much time will be spent where and when. Share this with your transport company, so they’re aware of what you’re planning for the day. We recommend seeking out suppliers who will be with you all day, meaning they won’t be constantly clock-watching and rushing off to another wedding. Discuss travel times with your transport provider, and keep in mind that some vehicles can travel faster than others. Just because your car can get from A to B in a certain time doesn’t mean a vintage motor or horse and carriage can cover the same distance as fast! Most importantly, be prepared. Check in with your driver or company the week of the wedding to make sure they have the correct address, timings, and emergency phone numbers. To help you find the perfect supplier for your big day, we’ve asked local companies to share more about their businesses...
