I splurged on some other things, like the band, so we opted not to use limos. I don't know if that's not classy, but we're ok with it. We wouldn't have a great need for them anyway given the the ceremony and reception are at the same place. We're all going to meet at the hotel and take our own cars for photos and then to the reception hall.

Don't forget to ask for a pickup/drop off quote.....

Peabody, my parents have a huge caddy. I will pick you up and drop you off so you don't have to walk.

I don't know why, but the whole limo thing floors me. I really think it is so expensive.

Can someone explain the 3 hr thing? Everyone knows you need the limo(s) for the entire day. Why do they base it on 3 hrs?



You don't need them the entire day, they don't sit outside the hall waiting. The limo companies sends another car to pick up the bride and groom at the end of the reception.

When we were looking there was the 3 hour minimum and the OT rate was a little less then a third of that per hour.

We had our limo for 4 hours and arranged town car pickups and dropoffs for several guests and we spent less then $1000. (We didn't use a specialty limo, just an 8 passager limo).

you only need the limo uptil when you are brought to the reception hall...
then a drop off at the end of the night(normally they send a towncar then)....

.. i dont see how limos could cost more than photo, unless your really cheap on the photo, and getting designer limos for alot of people....

No..Thats about average...I was quoted $325 for the same deal..plus gratuity and no pick up after reception. I think you could talk them down about $25 or so...The quote I got for that was from T & R Limo's , serenity quoted the same exact price..Sir oliver was more...forget exact amount.

I just got a quote from Eddie from Serenity Limos that I think is reasonable. We are going to meet him on Sunday. I am feeling a little bit better.

Bridget, thanks for the recommendation.

3 hours and a pick up.. sounds about right...
is 10 pass going to be tight? i know they say for prom 10 pass fits 8 people, is your dress very puffy?...
