Here is my understanding of limos based on the ceremony being in 1 place and the reception being in another: you have a limo (or limos depending on bridal party size) take you and your bridesmaids, flowergirl & whoever is giving you away to the church/synagogue. The groom & ushers etc. fend for themselves to get there. Then for after the ceremony, you have limo(s) for the entire bridal party. Whoever gave you away has arranged a ride to the reception. This way you can go to another location or straight to the reception hall for pics. Of course, none of this is written in stone. but I believe that this is the standard set up. You can do whatever you want. But obviously the more you do, the more it costs. Some limo companies will do a courtesy pick up for the bride & groom after the wedding...
Thanks

I just used them for my wedding in May. They were fine. One of the limo drivers was a little rude and rushing us to get to the hall, but we just ignored him and he apologized later anyway. The cars were very clean.

My sister used Cruise Control Limousines. I am using them for my wedding in September. They are very helpful in putting you day together. They help you figure out how many cars and for how much time you need them. The drivers were very nice. My sister was very nervous and Peter her driver was great. Cars were beautiful. My sister was happy with them so I didn't even look anywhere else.
As for the other vendors..I believe that if they are there for 5 hours or less you should not have to feed them a full meal. There should be something small (cocktail hour type food) for them to snack on during their break, but I don't think a full meal is necessary.
As for tips..I am tipping only those vendors who work for someone else such as the limo driver. My photographers work for themselves so I do not feel the need to tip them.

They have a garage where they keep all the cars and I believe they have a weekly showcase. The garage is located at 200 N. Strong Avenue in Lindenhurst and their telephone number is 516-797-7454. Good luck! Christine
do you know what they charge for videography only? Where are they located?
