Among the top 8 complaints that irk wedding guests, according to elegala.com, is being stranded. “If your wedding reception and ceremony locations are far apart or far from accommodations, you should provide guest transportation. Besides the obvious safety concerns of drinking and driving, your guests should remember what a lovely time they had at your wedding – not what a pain it was to get there.”

Reston Limousine knows that service for the bride and groom is only part of the transportation to consider for your wedding – we provide transportation for all of your special guests to and from your celebration.

With a fleet of more than 40 privately owned vehicles – the largest limousine and shuttle service in the metropolitan Washington DC area, we are large enough to take care of your every need, but personal
enough to make your special day extraordinary.

As a testament to our professional and reliable service, Restson Limousine has been selected as one of Washingtonian Bride & Groom’s 2011 Best Wedding vendors.

On their wedding day, the bride and groom joined their wedding party for a relaxing ride around Washington, DC, in a luxury limo bus, courtesy of Reston Limousine. They visited landmark locations for great photo ops.

Of the thousands of entrants in the nationwide contest, hometown couple Van Ngo and Eric Oberly of Alexandria won the $100,000 wedding of their dreams, which took place at the Ronald Reagan Building on Sept. 27. As the featured transportation vendor, Reston Limousine provided deluxe limousine service for the lucky couple and their entourage.

According to Us Weekly,

Pen pals during Oberly’s yearlong tour in Iraq, the couple are “every day people who share a very real love,” says Ngo, 28. The Army National Guardsman, 28, proposed while on leave. Her response? “Are you joking?” quips Ngo, a government worker. “But I said yes!”

Congratulations to Van and Eric, and may you have a long and happy marriage!

The Columbia, Maryland-based DJ reviewed suggestions from three wedding planning Web sites (The Knot, Wedding Wire and Brides.com) for their suggestions on when to book your wedding planner, the reception site, caterer, photographer, videographer, DJ, etc.

He also provides his own advice based on his experience of more than a decade in the industry, and he makes a lot of sense when explaining why his timeline deviates from the others. For transportation, Evan points out something that many brides don’t think about: late April through early June is also prom season, which places additional demand on limousines.

Johnny Sower, Reston Limousine’s Operations Manager, says that couples planning a wedding during that period should reserve their limousine and other transportation services as soon as they have a date. This is especially important if couples want a particular color for their limo, he says, “because everyone wants white.”

With the largest fleet in the metro DC area operating 24 hours a day, Reston Limousine can provide not only wedding limousines for your special day, but also vans, sedans and buses for your wedding guests before, during and after the ceremony. For more information, please visit www.restonlimo.com.

To help you plan your special day, we offer these tips on helping you choose and book a limousine service in Northern Virginia and the Washington DC metropolitan region:

CHOOSING A LIMO
Visit the company’s facility and ask for references. Insist on a written contract within one week of leaving your deposit. Consider using a major credit card if you are unfamiliar with the company you have chosen.

Ask the company if another limo service will be working with them on your wedding day. Do your same due diligence on the other company. If you are not satisfied with the professionalism of the farm-out company, go to an operator who can manage the entire wedding charter, like Reston Limousine. We have the DC area’s largest fleet, with more than 130 vehicles.

Do not book the limousine to its maximum capacity. Reston Limousine quotes the number of permitted passengers in our vehicles based on manufacturer guidelines, which typically is based on 150 pounds per passenger. Unless you have extremely thin men in your party, booking the maximum number of people in the limousine is likely to be uncomfortable. Instead, rent a larger limousine, more than one limousine, or choose from Reston Limousine’s fleet of stretched SUVs, limo buses, mini-coaches, and passenger motor coaches. And don’t underestimate how warm and uncomfortable formal clothing is and how much worse a wedding party can feel in close quarters!

MAKING RESERVATIONS
Rent the limousine for at least an extra hour beyond the expected schedule. Have the limousine come 15-30 minutes early to allow extra time for pictures. Receiving lines take 25 minutes per 100 people and photographers take much more time then you probably figure. Please do not assume you can add time to your charter on your wedding day; limousine operators often have more than one event to service in a day. Spend a few dollars more so your limousine is guaranteed for all of the hours you require.

Consider renting a backup vehicle. Limousines are machines – they unfortunately get flat tires and hoses and seals rip like any other vehicle. Ask your limousine professional what system he/she has in the event of a problem. At Reston Limousine, our fleet of more than 130 vehicles are professionally maintained to meet your every need. Our 24-hour operation is always available to answer questions, and handle any situation that arises.

Consider hiring a van or full-size sedan to be on hand as a “designated driver” vehicle for those guests who may not have used their best judgment during the wedding reception.
