5 Secrets to Crushing the Wedding Game

Of course, the most important part of your wedding is the ceremony itself, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t throw an out-of-this-world reception to celebrate your nuptials with friends and family. Never fear, we’re here with five secrets to crushing the wedding game!

1. Plan Surprise Entertainment: The best wedding receptions are the ones where you don’t know what’s coming next. Plan some unexpected entertainment during cocktail hour or dinner — like a professional dance performance (check out The Honey Taps) or aerial entertainment.

2. Serve a Leisurely Dinner: Let’s be honest —  the best part of every wedding is cocktail hour? So why limit yourself to only ONE hour. Instead of a sit-down dinner, opt for something more leisurely. Make cocktail hour last all night long so guests can mingle, dance, and have their fill of yummy food whenever they get hungry.

3. Add a Lounge: Sometimes, weddings are so much fun your guests need a little break! Designate an area of your reception, whether it’s outside or in the lobby area, for your guests to lounge for a few minutes after they’ve given it all they have on the dance floor!

4. Keep Your Guests Informed: Don’t forget to keep your guests informed. Nothing is worse than planning an epic after party, only to have most of your guests go home because they didn’t know it was occurring. Chalkboard signs or a framed itinerary on each table are a cute way to get the word out.

5. Make Transportation Arrangements for Guests: Are you reserving a hotel block for friends and out-of-town guests? They’ll be thrilled to find out you’ve arranged to have a shuttle bus bring them to and from the venue. Again, be sure to let everyone know in advance so they can plan accordingly. This can easily be done by adding a note to the accommodations card in your invitation.

7 Wedding Transportation Tips

With warm weather, comes spring engagements! It’s easy to get sidetracked with all of the excitement. We’re here to remind you that it’s important not to neglect your wedding transportation plans. Get started today with these six simple wedding transportation tips:

1. Be Creative: Sure, a traditional white stretch limousine is nice, but you have the opportunity to get creative with your wedding transportation. Why not opt for our white Rolls Royce Phantom V on the big day?

2. Don’t Forget Your Friends: While you aren’t required to provide transportation for your bridal party, it’s certainly a nice gesture. It also minimizes the stress of worrying about whether or not everyone will be on time. Consider booking one of our Cadillac Escalade Limousines.

3. Book a Shuttle for Out of Town Guests: If you’re reserving a hotel block for friends and out-of-town guests, it’s wise to arrange for a shuttle bus to bring guests to and from the venue. That way no one will have to worry about choosing a designated driver or calling an uber. Choose a bus from our fleet to get your guests from point A to point B in style! (Pro Tip: If you’re planning a gathering at the hotel bar after the reception, a shuttle is a great way to ensure more of your guests attend the after-party — even if they’re not staying overnight.)

4. Pad Your Reservation Time: Unexpected delays can throw a wrench in the most expertly planned weddings. Be sure to pad some extra time for each trip you’ll be making. About 20 to 30 minutes should do the trick. (Pro Tip: Make sure you do research on any irregular events that may be taking place around town that could impact your trip. IE: Sporting events, festivals, street fairs, etc.)
5. Be Picky: It’s completely reasonable for you to be a bit picky on your big day. Feel free to make special requests, from the type of champagne you want to be stocked to the type of music connection you require (like an AUX cord for your iPhone.) You can also request a specific dress code for the drivers to adhere to. We’ll do our best to fulfill all of your needs.
6. Book in Advance: Finally, our last and most important piece of advice. Book your vehicles as early as possible. Once you have the date, ceremony, and reception sites set, you should start thinking about your transportation needs. If you’re planning a Long Island wedding, you already know things book up well in advance and transportation services are no exception.

Transportation Mistakes Not to Make

With all the planning and preparation that comes with Weddings, we know some hiccups are bound to arise. How you and your guests get around is a major detail of your big day, and we want to be sure you are well prepared. Avoid making these common transportation mistakes:

Not hiring professionals!
Don’t give yourself the option of stressing over coordinating multiple rides with different cars. Hire the pros and have your entire entourage with you every step of the way. At Dynasty Limousine, our massive fleet of limousines, party buses, and shuttles will make it easy for everyone from the Bride and Groom, to the wedding party and guests, to travel in style and comfort. Our reputation is very important to us and we work hard to make sure that your experience with us is memorable and worry-free.

Only considering the stretch limo
From Cadillac Escalades to our regal Phantom V Rolls Royce - our fleet has something for everyone. There’s no rule requiring standard stretch limos only, choose a ride that suits your party’s style!

Forgetting about guests
While you’re not expected to provide rides for guests, offering out of towners a shuttle to the ceremony and back to the hotel can make guests more comfortable in an unfamiliar town. Not to mention, saving you and the bridal party from having to answer calls to offer directions. Should you not offer transportation, make sure to include a phone number of a local car service company on displays or the invitations themselves so guests can take advantage of their services.

Disregarding traffic
The timing of transportation is crucial to your wedding day. On one end you could have enough time so that the wedding flows nicely from event to event, or on the other end - you are rushing and holding up schedules. Look up estimated travel times before hand, and add at least another 20 minutes on for traffic or other delays.

#WeddingWednesday - Limo Etiquette

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service 

P: (631) 587-8500

Every wedding - no matter the size - requires a great deal of preparation and planning. The venue, dress, guest list, flowers, etc.,  are pretty straight forward once you have a budget and plan in mind. But when it comes to the transportation, it’s not uncommon the be unsure of proper limo etiquette. Who rides in the wedding limo? How many do you need? What about out of town guests?

Truth is, there is no rule on how many limos you choose or who gets to ride in them - that decision falls on you and your fiancé. But in case you’re looking for some kind of guide, we wanted to provide some tips to help the wedding planning process:

How many limos are needed:
This varies depending on your bridal party and your vision for the wedding. Some people choose to reserve three limos; one for the bride and bridesmaids, one for the groom and groomsmen, and one for the parents. Other times a small town car is reserved for the bride and her father, a limo is reserved to pick up the groom and parents and drop them at the ceremony - then go out to pick up the bridesmaids, leaving the groomsmen to their own devices.

Who rides in the wedding limo:
Again, depending on the size of your wedding party and the size of the limousine. Some brides wish to arrive with their bridesmaids, others with their parents, and even some would prefer a moment of solitude before the big event.

What about the out of town guests:
Consider providing out of towers with transportation to the ceremony and back to the hotel, this way you avoid worrying about guests navigating an unfamiliar city or having to choose a designated driver. Depending on your guest list, you may opt to reserve a chauffeured car service or for a larger group - a minibus to take everyone at once.
