Get me to the church on time - any way you can!

There are plenty of options to choose from, whatever your budget or taste. And let's face it, your wedding day is one of the very few days where anything goes, so why not go for it!

Cars

Wedding cars are traditionally large, luxurious limousines such as Rolls Royces, Daimlers and Mercedes. However, if the car you want is something special or unusual you could go for a vintage car or an open top Rolls Royce which are available from specialist companies.

Horse and Carriage

For romantics, horse drawn carriages are a great option and can be as grand or as simple as you like. However, they are only suitable for short journeys and require extra journey time. You will need to book well in advance as summer dates can be booked up as much as two years in advance. Some companies will only travel within a given radius, while others will cover a very wide area.

Helicopters

Helicopters are very extravagant and expensive but if you want to make a statement, a chopper could be the way forward. You will need to check with your venue that they have a safe landing area and get their permission. Helicopter charter companies usually charge for the time that their helicopter is in the air. Bad weather could also affect your flight but companies will inform you ahead of the day. Make sure you have a plan b.

Boat

If your wedding or reception will be held near a river or lake, you may choose to use a boat to the ceremony or onwards to your reception.

Walking

If you are lucky enough to live near to the venue where your ceremony is to take place it might be a nice idea to walk to your wedding, or from the ceremony to the reception with your new husband and bridal party in procession. Not only will it give you a chance to relax, it will provide a wonderful spectacle for your friends and neighbours. However, you should have a contingency plan in case of bad weather or plenty of stylish brollies!

Borrowing a Car

If you are on a tight budget you may be lucky enough to have a friend that owns a special car who is happy to loan it to you for the day, and even act as chauffeur. This can be a particularly pleasant role to fulfil, as he/she will play an important part in your wedding but is free enough to enjoy both your wedding service and reception.

Vintage Bus

It has become extremely fashionable to hire a vintage bus to take your guests to and from the church /registry office to the reception venue. Try local transport museums (South Yorkshire Transport Museum) as a starting point.
