Frequently Asked Questions About Wedding Chauffeur Services in Northern Ireland

How far in advance should we book our wedding transportation?

For weddings in popular venues like Ballygally Castle or during peak wedding season (May-September) in Northern Ireland, we recommend booking 6-9 months in advance to secure your preferred vehicle. For off-peak weddings, 4-6 months is typically sufficient.

Yes, we provide complimentary traditional white ribbons for all wedding vehicles. For additional customised decorations to match your wedding theme, we offer various packages that can be discussed during your consultation.

What happens if there’s bad weather on our wedding day?

Northern Ireland’s weather can be unpredictable, but we’re well-prepared. Our chauffeurs carry large umbrellas and will ensure you’re protected from the elements when entering and exiting the vehicle. We also allow extra travel time during inclement weather to ensure punctual arrival.

Can we have a champagne toast in the limousine?

Absolutely! For wedding parties, we offer complimentary non-alcoholic champagne. If you prefer alcoholic champagne, you’re welcome to provide your own, and we’ll ensure it’s properly chilled for your journey.
