How far in advance should you book limos?

If you had a specific company in mind, do they usually book up fast or do I have time?

Thanks!

Re: How far in advance should you book limos?

I am being told I should start right now..apparently they book pretty quick and you are getting married in the prime season so I think you should look into it.
You could always try asking on the Vendors Helping Brides forum.

I booked limos more than two months ag o andthey (Sir Oliver) was already booked for October of 2006!

If you know waht you want start looking now so that you can get the best selection for the best price! And one more thing off of your 'to do' list!!

Thanks again everyone. Since technically I'm on a 'break' from appointments, it doesn't mean I still can make them a few weeks out! I called one and made an appointment.

Really? Geez! Panic much, huh? LOL

I called one and told them my date and they were like 'oh okay, you've got time' so I made my appointment sometime in August. I just feel better knowing I have an appointment!! LOL

Re: How far in advance should you book limos?

I am of the mindset of getting as much done as possible, so if you want to book limos go for it!!!

After hearing Sir Oliver is booked for Oct 06 I am worried, I wanted to book them for my Sept. 06 wedding.

I am also. I'm not positive we have room in the budget, so I'm just going to wait a little longer.

Re: How far in advance should you book limos?

I haven't booked Limos yet but I heard that for our time of year (I'm late may and you are early june) it's good to book early because that is peak wedding season AND prom season... I am putting this one off too....

Re: How far in advance should you book limos?

A lot of it depends on when your wedding is. If you are getting married near graduation and prom time I would consider booking them soon.

Re: How far in advance should you book limos?

I'm so shocked that some are booked way over a year out! FH will think I'm crazy for wanting to book this so soon, but I guess it's better sooner than later.
