Shuttle Your Guests

When you think of memorable moments from your wedding, you don't want your uncle's DUI arrest to be one of them! Let your wedding guests relax and party without worrying about who the designated driver is, by making sure that you have transportation to get them safely from the reception site to the hotel. Check out Premiere’s new, 40 passenger luxury shuttle bus.  This vehicle is perfect for transporting all of your guests in style and more important, safely.

Premiere will run shuttles to and from the wedding reception at specific hours. For example, if your reception is from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. you might have shuttles leaving the hotel (or ceremony site) at 5:15 p.m., 5:45 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. Then, have shuttles returning to the hotel at 9:00 p.m., 10 p.m., 10:30 p.m., and 11 p.m. Make sure to put information about shuttle times in the guest welcome packages.

When looking at contracts for transportation services, make sure to check for things like minimum hour requirements and charges for mileage.  Also, make sure to ask about their drivers' qualifications.   Premiere requires a 3 hour minimum rental and does not charge additional for mileage and stops.   All of their drivers are pre-screened through local law enforcement agencies and meet all Federal Department of Transportation requirements.

Arranging transportation for your wedding guests may seem like one more to-do in an already crowded list, but this sort of thoughtful planning will help your guests relax and enjoy their evening.

  

8-Hour Wine Tasting Tour

In the last century, grapes fell on hard times and into the mixed company of tragic literary figures, musical raisins, and a giant purple gorilla in ill-fitting clothing. Grow the grape's self-confidence by purchasing an 8 hour-hour wine tour. Our wine tour safely chauffeurs scores of oenophiles on tasting treks in a roomy stretch limousine. Coast carefree with your closest friends, as you recline on leather seats, drink, and repeatedly toast one another for no reason.

Every Saturday and Sunday from March 3 to April 1 clients can visit any of the 14 wineries of the NEW Mason-Dixon Wine Trail for the 7th annual Tour de Tanks. Winemakers open their doors to give visitors an exclusive opportunity to sample wines straight from the barrel. Learn from winemakers about the characteristics of each wine,and enjoy special food pairings as you chat with fellow wine enthusiasts all along the way. On these dates we offer 8 hours of limousine service and an admission ticket which includes full event access, including a collectible wine glass, exclusive wine tastings, light food items, presentations by the winemakers, as well as an exclusive 10% discount at participating wineries.  Rates vary depending on passenger amounts.

Rental Tips

1. Determine the number of people you are transporting. Limousine companies typically quote the number of permitted passengers in their vehicles based on 150 pounds per passenger. Unless you have extremely thin men in your party, booking the maximum number of people in the limousine will be extremely uncomfortable. Lesson #1 is do NOT book the limousine to its maximum capacity. Instead, rent a larger limousine or rent more than one limousine. Many chauffeured transportation companies also have stretched SUVs, mini-coaches or other larger vehicles for carrying groups. Never underestimate how warm and uncomfortable formal clothing is and how much worse its wearers can feel in close quarters.
2. Some limousine operators use their colleagues to handle multi-vehicle rentals. Ask your contact if another company will be working with them on your wedding day. If so, do your same due diligence on the other company. If you are not satisfied with the professionalism of the other company, secure a company who can manage the entire wedding reservation.
3. Timing: Weddings do not normally go off with military precision. 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 photographs. Receiving lines take 25 minutes per 100 people and photographers take much more time then you might expect. It is extremely stressful on everyone if you have left inadequate time for your rental.
4. Limousine operators often have more than one event to service in a day. Do not assume you can add time to your reservation on your wedding day. Spend a few dollars more so your chauffeured transportation is guaranteed for all of the hours you require.
5. Visit the limousine company from whom you are renting the vehicle(s). 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.
6. As much as possible, keep alcohol out of the limousine. Drinkers -- plus excitement and formal clothing -- can be a recipe for disaster.
7. Consider hiring a full-size sedan or van to be on hand as "designated driver" transportation for those guests who may not have used their best judgment during the wedding reception.
8. Typically a chauffeur is tipped between 15 and 20 percent of the total charge. ALL chauffeurs prefer a cash gratuity. If the chauffeur has treated you well, tip him/her handsomely and be sure to call the owner. If the chauffeur has NOT delivered good service, inform the owner as well.
9. Breakdown: Limousines are machines. They unfortunately get flat tires and hoses and seals rip like any other vehicle. Unless you rent a "backup vehicle," most companies will have to scramble to transport you should there be a problem. Ask your limousine professional what system he/she has in the event of a problem.
