On your wedding day, you’ll be floating on a cloud — but how should you plan to actually get around? It all depends on your style. Do you want transportation with a bumping sound system? Something out of a retro movie? Chicago area transportation vendors have got you covered and we’ve broken down your options for you.
For the couple that’s ready to party:
Get things popping as you take pictures or travel from ceremony to reception in a fully-loaded party bus. Exquisite Limo & Party Bus, for instance, offers a fleet of fun-mobiles for up to 30 passengers with features like leather seats, bars, fiber optic lighting and custom sound systems just waiting to blast your Wedding Day playlist.
For the fairytale fans:
There are few things that can make a bride feel more like a princess than having a real life horse-drawn carriage waiting to carry her and her new husband off into the sunset (or, you know, to the reception). If your wedding is outside the city, there are a few places that offer the old fashioned rides. Looking to go full fairytale? Try the Peotone-based Jim & Becky Horse & Carriage Specialists, which offers a Cinderella-style pumpkin carriage for you and your Prince Charming.
For the old-world charm:
A trolley is good middle ground for couples looking for something more dapper than a shuttle but more low key than a limo. Companies like Trolley Rates Chicago offer the colorful vehicles for transporting your guests from hotel to wedding and back or just to transport your wedding party around.
For the car buffs:
On your wedding day, nobody has to know you drive a ’93 Chevy. Borrow a pair of significantly sleeker wheels — a 1954 Bentley Sedan? A 1962 Rolls Royce limousine? –from a company like Classic Wedding Car for you and your fiancé to cruise around town in or take pictures with.
For the traditionalists
You can’t go wrong with a classic. Rent a stretch limo or town car from Windy City Limousine or Celeb Lux Limos. Want to take things up a notch? The Hummer H2 from Naperville Limousine seats up to 20.
