Do I need wedding cars for the guys too?

Or do just the girls use them? we have a large bridal party and I'm not sure whether it's worth us all getting fancy cars.

Hi Kylie, Traditionally the guys didn't have cars but gone have the traditions over the years and at least 80% of guys now want cars which is nice as they too should have transport.The guys have to be at the ceremony half hour before to meet and greet your guests so you need their car earlier and always remember when booking cars for the guys that you include the groom in the numbers as many people say there are only 4 groomsmen so a 4 passenger will do but you would need a 5 passenger or sometimes the groom has a special car just for himself like a ferrari, mustang or muscle car. If your wedding is all at the one location and your are not going anywhere for photos it's probably not worth having cars for the guys if you are on a tight budget and the guys are happy with that decision. We do have 2 Royal Daimler's (8 passengers each) which are very popular for weddings with a large bridal party. I hope this information has helped you. Cheers Sally

I think a  black Porsche 911 convertible would be great for the boys or girls.

From experience the Groom and Best men usually get to the Wedding by themselves.

We offer pickups for all parties, but generally it is for the Bridal entourage.

You dont have to. we have an option in one of our packages for a second car to be used for the boys to get to the cermeony. separately. It is pretty cool that the boys arrive in a smaller 10 seat hummer, and the bride in tghe larger hummer that can then be ised for the rest of the afternoon all together with the bridal party for photos.

Hi Kylie,

I think it's always nice that the groom and his mates receive the VIP treatment on a special day like this.

Hi Kylie, that is entirely up to the married couple to be, sometimes we take the groom to the wedding venue prior to the bride arriving & other times they make their own way to the ceremony location & then after travel together for photos etc before arriving at the wedding reception

We quite often have the same limo pick up the groom and groomsmen first and drop them to the ceremony venue and then pick up the bride. Of course this depends on times and distances because the groom is waiting while we return with the bride. If the bride is, say, fifteen minutes away from the ceremony venue the groom is waiting half an hour which is fine and a little longer is quite common also.

Too make sure the groom and his party all get there together it is best to hire a car for them, as the groom needs to get there a good while before the bride we can sometimes use the same car to do both pickups

Hi Kylie, it's really up to the couple as to whether or not the boys get cars and of course budget is a major player in that decision. In my experience there's been a mixture of yes and no for this and there's really no right or wrong answer here but consider that to transport the entire bridal party post ceremony your going to need a number of cars anyway. The incremental cost for additional cars for the boys prior to the ceremony compared to the cost of all the cars for the whole duration is fairly negligible (i.e. if you were hiring 3 cars for the girls and then everyone post ceremony, then using one or more of those cars to get the boys prior should only be a fraction of the cost extra). I guess something else to consider is, is it one less thing to worry about for the boys and would you look back and regret not getting cars for them as well?
