Wedding Trans


'Wedding Trans' can be a leading title bar.................... for the purpose of today's blog entry, what we mean by that is transportation. It's funny, wedding couples choose a variety of different modes of transportation to get to the church from home, get to location photography venues from the ceremony, or to get to the reception from either. Naturally in over 25 years we have seen it all (or nearly so)! The favorite choices in St. Louis are traditional limo, trolley, party bus, the groom's personally restored wheels, or luxury auto-- we've even seen married teachers getting around in a school bus! Lately we've ridden on and followed a seemingly growing part of a disturbing trend, Transportation From Hell!!!! By that I mean limos that have horrible air conditioning, drivers that are complete idiots, and safety precautions being thrown out the window. (Try following a huge limo carrying the entire bridal party and one photographer down the highway going 85 miles an hour!), horrible stuff. While we get irritated, angry-- especially when we get stuck at yet another light when following behind a bozo who insists on driving through one more dead red light--- cuss and fuss and find ourselves cranky, we are mostly just amazed. We are thinking that when we are retained by a bride and groom we need to say 'use X Limo' or the deal is off! That of course is rash, and would never actually happen--- but it should! The bottom line is that we have a lot of experience and know what makes your day truly exceptional in every detail. ASK for suggestions for your vendors and take our suggestions. Please. We have a couple favorite vendors who are wonderful, tried and true, folks who are professional and who really do everything to insure that the day is as nice as can be. Our list is longer for those we strongly suggest you don't use!

Now.............................. get out there and drive safely!
