Tips to avoid wedding car hire disasters

 

A wedding is a big day, there is no denying. Possibly one of the biggest days of anyone’s life. From the moment you laid eyes on each other you knew. You just knew that one day you would be walking down the aisle together, looking into one anothers eyes, and saying those words that join you together forever.

I do.

Then there was courtship. Dating. Fun and laughter. Probably quite a few smiles and kisses and embraces along the way. All well and good. Then you proposed. Or he proposed. Or she proposed. Well someone popped the question.

And the answer was yes.

Then the fun and games began in earnest. You see, planning a wedding is a little like a military operation in our opinion. There are so many moving parts that need to combine, working in harmony, to achieve a magical result on your wedding day. To do this, its best not to leave anything to chance.

This post is about one of the biggest moments in a wedding – the arrival of the Bride and the Groom at the ceremony, usually in a special car used only for wedding transport.

We are going to concentrate on the State of Queensland in sunny Australia for this post. Believe it or not, in Australia they DO NOT ride Kangaroos to their weddings. Strange but true.

There are three main areas in South East Queensland that people live in. These are Brisbane, The Gold Coast, and The Sunshine Coast. Each has their own distinct culture and subtle differences in style. And so to with wedding transport.

In these places, wedding cars are often referred to as wedding limos. Unless of course you are hiring a horse and carriage. It pays to organize a wedding limo hire Gold Coast well in advance, particularly if you have your eye on a specific make and style of car or cars. Most limo hire companies will offer several similar vehicles, but its fair to say there are not a hundred Rolls Royces for hire. So if a Roller is what you are after, best book ahead.

Brisbane is a bigger city, with a larger population. We’ve found that there are more companies that specialize in limo hire Brisbane – which means more choice but of course, with the larger population comes more demand. If you miss out with a local company though, you can often book cars from the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast as many of those operators service those areas too.

Which brings us to the Sunny Coast, as the Sunshine Coast is often called. When you are seeking limo hire Sunshine Coast it’s distinctly different to the other two areas. More laid back, and with a larger rural type population spread, there are less companies to choose from. Of course, you can often call a company based to the South in Brisbane to supply wedding cars, but you will have to allow for extra travel time, which is usually chargeable.

Thanks for taking the time to read this blog post. We hope you have an awesome wedding day- and enjoy your limo ride!

Bespoke Bridal in Brisbane?

  That’s what this post is all about – getting married in Brisbane, Australia, and some of the things you might need to consider beforehand. In this post, we are going to touch on three key elements that every wedding will need. These are things like the ring. Pretty clear that is a must have item. Then there is a wedding dress. Don’t get married without one. And how are you going to get to the wedding? Catch a bus? We don’t think that’s a very good idea so we’d also like to talk about wedding cars and how to choose a good one. There – so that’s the basic idea. Getting married. Wonder who first thought that one up. Whoever it was has created a pretty much ongoing trend of going over the top to provide the best wedding experience possible. Well, okay, so not every wedding subscribes to that idea. And just as well too. First to the wedding ring. There are several different schools of thought on wedding rings. Many people like as big and bold and glamorous a wedding ring as poss...

Celebrating a wedding and celebrating it right!

  When we think of a wedding ceremony, many people think of the classic and timeless image of a church wedding, bride wearing a gorgeous white wedding dress with flowing train. She is attended by her bridesmaids, flower girls and other attendees. She makes her entrance into the church where the ceremony is to be held, groom waiting at the altar. His best man and others wait with him, often somewhat nervous. A priest or minister is close by, ready to say the solemn vows that confirm the newlyweds matrimonial status. It all sounds so very formal. So scripted. And all so yesterday. While its true that many people still opt for this style of wedding, its also completely fair to say that today there are many different styles of wedding and marriage ceremonies. And they don’t always involve formal situations or in truth, Priests. This post is about some of the many different styles a modern wedding can take, and the different types of officiant available. It’s set in Queensland, so h...

Waste - its so unusual

  Waste is an unusual thing to blog about. Unusual because it’s not something many people often discuss. Sure, we talk about sustainability, and recycling but the very word waste conjures up unpleasant connotations. Images of grime and dirt, something no one wants, so it is thrown away into a bin, put in a big noisy smelly truck in the middle of the night and put in a hole in the middle of nowhere while no one is watching. Then covered up, out of site, out of mind. That is how we humans have handled waste, at least for the last fifty years or so. We could have been doing things differently. It is absolutely fairy to say that we should be doing things very differently. Here is what I mean. True sustainability relies on using only what we need, so there are not many byproducts – or waste – left over. And even those leftover parts have uses in many cases. A good example today is restaurant food waste. Our portion sizes are huge, by historic standards. And so leftover food gets ...
