What To Know
- • Yet another poor bride was half an hour late for her wedding because their chauffeur got lost while ignoring the bride’s and her father’s increasingly agitated and indignant pleas that he kept “going the wrong way.
- As part of your initial discussion, inquire about the company’s backup plan in an unanticipated difficulty on the day of the event, such as chauffeur illness (it can happen).

Your wedding day in Bloomfield, New Jersey, is supposed to be one of the most important days of your life and one to remember.
Unfortunately, the wedding limousine rental can make the wedding day memorable for all the wrong reasons.
What Not To Do
Here are a few limo service horror stories from brides on their wedding day.
• One bride who had hoped for a Rolls Royce was disappointed when it failed to come. She and her father were given an emergency ride in a neighbor’s small family vehicle after they could not receive assistance from the rental business, and she arrived disheveled. To make matters worse, grease from the passenger door had ruined her clothes.
The limousine firm had subcontracted the operation to another company, which then forgot about it.
• A “pristine executive limousine” was a 20-year-old standard car in only fair shape. Three times on the way to the church, it broke down. The bride came 45 minutes late for the wedding ceremony.
• Yet another poor bride was half an hour late for her wedding because their chauffeur got lost while ignoring the bride’s and her father’s increasingly agitated and indignant pleas that he kept “going the wrong way.”
Of course, these mishaps couldn’t possibly occur on your wedding day, could they?
Make sure you’re confident.
They could, and they might be able to do it more simply than you think.
Many organizations that advertise wedding limousine rental services are, in reality, clearinghouses for subcontracting operations. Some of these are run on a shoestring budget and do not behave professionally.
If you want to ensure that you get the vehicle you desire and receive excellent service on your special day, consider the following suggestions:
1. Look up the company’s reputation online.
2. Don’t be afraid to ask for client references that you can check out for yourself by contacting them directly. This should be no problem for reputable luxury limousine service providers.
3. Verify that your reservation is on their radar a few days before the wedding. Bookings being “lost” due to administrative problems should be unacceptable, but it happens continuously.
4. Confirm whether the vehicle they’ve assigned to you is from their fleet or if it’s an owner-driver arrangement. There’s nothing wrong with the latter if you comprehend it and are confident that your limo hiring specialist has everything under control.
5. As part of your initial discussion, inquire about the company’s backup plan in an unanticipated difficulty on the day of the event, such as chauffeur illness (it can happen). If they don’t know or appear evasive, be concerned!
These are just a few basic suggestions, but they may help you avoid becoming yet another sad story in the annals of wedding day disasters.
With 43 years of continuous, outstanding service, Action Limousine is a choice you can depend on.
