Weddings in New York are stressful with rehearsals, planning, calling and paying vendors, and further stress can be added with traffic congestions, and late arrival of a limo. This is why it is critical to plan ahead and plan diligently for the wedding transportation in New York.

The first step in planning wedding limousine in New York City is to choose and match the desired limousines with the wedding theme. For example, some brides prefer a vintage limousine for the bride, whereas some brides prefer a black colored Mercedes Benz S550, and a Rolls Royce for the groom. Some prefer to have a luxury bus or a luxury van for their family members at reception. Always be practical with passenger count for the limousines you have chosen. Always leave brides an extra seat space due to their wedding dresses.

After the limousines have been identified, searching the internet to find reliable and qualified limousine service providers is critical. New York City is a city that has massive congestions and experienced limousine service providers are better prepared in handling such events to ensure reliable on time service. Reliable wedding limousine service in New York can be guaranteed with older established limousine companies who have over millions of miles of experience in their local operating area. For example on Saturday afternoons greater travel time required is required on the Long Island Expressway West Bound and crossing midtown tunnel between 5om and 7:45pm compared to Fridays.
In summertime, greater travel time is required on Long Island Expressway Eastbound on Saturday mornings. Once again, the experienced and established limousine companies should be considered over the new kids on the block.

Verifiable references from wedding planners really help in identifying as opposed to the Yelp reviews. Yelp has so many fake online reviews, and a for a small fee, the business can ask Yelp to hide negative reviews. Obtaining verifiable references is very helpful in screening and selecting competent wedding limousine service providers. Aside from this all, let us mention vehicle and price comparisons. Just as when buying a car, we know that price of vehicle will vary between Toyota, Cadillac, Mercedes and Maserati. In addition, year, mileage and vehicle condition will dictate selling price of car. This concept is no different to the rental car industry, and the limousine hire industry.

PRICES AND RATE COMPARISONS:
The rates will vary between a stretch Lincoln Limousine and a Cadillac XTS stretch Limousine. The rates will also vary between antique and classic cars. How about when rates vary between Antique Rolls Royce ? Make sure you are really getting what you pay for. Some companies will disguise an an antique Austin Princess as a Rolls Royce simply by installing a fake Rolls Royce grill. This is not a Rolls Royce! Other companies use kit cars with fake Rolls Royce grills. Some will identify these various "fakes" as Rolls Royce on their web site. Others will only call them Rolls Royce on the phone or in person, out of fear of false advertising lawsuits from the local district attorney. The really clever ones will simply allow you to think it's a Rolls Royce, when you see the "Rolls Royce grill".

One can view the pictures and see the car is really all the same. Yes, both cars are Austin Van Den Plas Princess, but one has a Rolls Royce grille and is advertised as a Rolls Royce.

Genuine Antique Rolls Royce limousine are priced at $950-1100 for a 3 hour rental, and those charging $500-$600 for a 3 hour rental are really providing a knock off Rolls Royce which is really an Austin Van Den Plas with a Rolls Royce grille. This concept is no different from the Chrysler 300 owner with Rolls Royce badges and imitating the Rolls Royce Phantom.

The vehicle price will also vary by the overall condition. Antique cars that have a $1500 paint job and a $1500 interior will rent for cheap, whereas the antique that has a $6,000 paint job and genuine leather interior which has a price tag of $5,000. One will be a meticulous antique limousine and the other will just be an ole skool limo. The criteria for screening and selecting a limousine boils down to this. The best way to screen mediocre limousine service in New York for your wedding is to expect nothing less than the 4G Limousine service.
