If you did why? Where did you go?

I am getting ready at home with my MOH (sis) and since it's just the 2 of us, my mom and my dog, we didnt' really need one, but I wanted to arrive in style The limo will pick up FH and BM and then come back and get us. Besides, all of the vehicles in our family are smaller cars or pickups, and although it would be a hoot to arrive at my wedding my modified truck, I'd rather have a bit more elegance.

yes, the limos are picking up and dropping off and the hall, and after picking up FH and me

same here, but only one limo. the limo will go pick up the guys and bring them to the hall, then double back for me, and bring me last. then they pick us up after.

we are having a limo for each of us-me w/the girls and Pop and him w/his family and the boys...

Pick up and drop off (point A to B) is much cheaper than renting the limo for the 3 hour min. period.

Of course, if I had to start cutting corners though (and take something away), this would be the first to go!

No limos for us either. But we are getting a shuttle to drive guests from the hotel to the reception and back.

Good question, I was thinking of only renting one to pick me and BM up and once they drop us off they go pick up FH and GM. Then that's it I figured it would work with the three hour minimum rule. But I like the idea of renting for one way each but I would worry they are going to show up in a black limo and I definelty want white.

Still undecided

We're using the same limo. FH is being picked up at his mom's first and taken to the hall and then that same limo is picking me up and taking me. It saves us some money this way. After the party, his family has a limo to take them home and we're just getting a ride to our apt., which is only like 5 miles away. Then we're driving ourselves to our jacuzzi hotel room

We're getting limos, but we specifically told the limo company it is only pick up and drop off...otherwise they charge you for the whole 3 hours, some companies would only do it this way...But we want to arrive in style so went with the limos.

yes, we will use a limo to go to Woodbury Gardens to take pics during the day before the ceremony.

We used limos to get the bridal party to Flowerfield. It was great to be with everyone!

We have a limo that is included in our wedding package. We will use it to bring me, my daughter (MOH), my FG and my sister who's doing our makeup, from my house to Ariana.

We are getting limos because we are getting married at 7 pm and want to do our photos beforehand. We figured we would have the limos pick each of us up at 2:30 and bring us to the site where we will be doing pics, take the pics, and have the limos drop us off at the hall around 5:45.

eta.. we are getting 2 limos because I want the pics of our first 'meeting' to be at the arboretum and I do not want FH to see me before that.

We're doing this as well. But we only getting 1 limo. My FI will have a town car.

We were'nt going to get limos until we realized getting evryone to tne ceremony on time would be a pain in the A$$... So we opted for pick-up/drop-off instead...

Re: If youre having ceremony & reception at same place did you use a limo?

I think we will have limos drop us off at the hall....we are staying there that night so we definetely need only the one way.....

We are using limos to get from the houses to the hall where we are getting married. I mean, there isn't really a way for all of us to get there together.
