Most weddings need the car for around three to five hours — covering the journey from home to the ceremony, photos, and the trip to the reception. The exact time depends on your venues, the distances and whether the car waits between them.
Long enough that the day never feels rushed — here's how to work it out.
What the hours cover
The wedding car is usually there for: the pick-up (often from home or a getting-ready venue), the arrival at the ceremony, photos with the car, the journey to the reception, and sometimes a scenic photo stop in between. The chauffeur waits with you throughout.
What affects the time
Distances between venues, traffic and timing on the day, whether you want a photo stop, and how many cars are in the convoy. A nearby ceremony and reception need less time than venues across the city. We plan the timing around your run sheet.
We tailor it to your day
Rather than a fixed block, we build the timing around your actual schedule — so there's never a rush and never a wait. See what to expect on the day or the wedding car checklist.
