Cars

Kirsty, 15 February, 2025 at 21:42 Posted on Planning 0 7
Do we are getting married in a church and then off to a big house for wedding reception. However they are both on the same estate! We are both getting ready at the site so no need for pickups. Essentially we just need a couple of cars as shuttles to and from. Will be used max an hour or so. However we are being quoted £700-£900!! Am I being complete naive in thinking this is extortion! If it was going from distances absolutely charge away but I can’t get my head around it.

    I think the distance will be a very small part of the cost involved - however far the distance between your venues, they will still have to have the cars valeted and drive them from the company location to your venue.

    Unless you've really got your heart set on having a special car for the wedding, can you look at booking an ordinary taxi or even getting a friend or family member with a reliable car to do the driving?

    RomanticGreenStationery27135 is right about part of the cost is getting to the venue Of course many people underestimate timings as most have not done it before.

    But it will be way more than the 1 hour for them. You said you are both getting ready at the site so no pick ups needed, but you will need to get both of you from the big house to the church, and then both of you back. Amusing you are keeping apart then your partner will need to be at the church for about 45 mins before the wedding, then back for you to be there 5 mins before. Then you may have some photos at the Church before you are taken back to the house and then some photos of the two of you there with the car. So

    Assuming its a 5 min drive by the sound of it

    Wedding at 1pm

    Car picks up your other half at 12.10 ( he's going to be there for 12 to be ready)

    Comes back for you at 12.25, and leaves with you at 12.50

    40 min ceremony - by the time everyone is out and mingling it will be 1.50 a few photos at the church wont see you leaving until 2.15

    2.20 arrive at venue 5 mins photos in and out of car with venue in the background now will be a total of 2 hours 20 for the car.

    But I am sure there probably ones out there that could do it cheaper than £900 you have found so far.

    It sounds like you've been exploring some options for wedding transportation, and I can see why the costs might seem steep. However, I think it's important to take all factors into account, such as the time spent on the road and the specific requirements for your event. If you're looking for something a bit more exciting or just want to try your luck with something different, I’d suggest checking out pelican casino no deposit bonus. The platform offers great bonuses and rewards, which could be a fun alternative for those looking for some entertainment.

    My experience with Crown Casino Sydney AU online casino has been very positive! I am new to the world of online casinos, but this site made everything so easy and accessible. I tried different games - slots, poker and even a live dealer game. I liked everything, especially the speed of withdrawal. For beginners, this is the perfect option.
