Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 43)

Va-va-vroom! I’m thinking of booking wedding transport as a surprise for my husband-to-be. What do I need to bear in mind when choosing it? This sounds like a fabulous surprise, but it can be hard to get it right. Why not choose a vehicle that’ll rekindle happy childhood memories? A car that his parents used to own would be perfect, and his mum and dad would love it too. Just make sure they have time for a spin! Once you’ve chosen the car, consider when it needs to arrive. Allow enough time for the groom to get to the venue and start greeting your loved ones. You may also wish to allow extra time for the driver to go back to pick up any additional passengers, such as the ushers. Don’t forget to factor in a few minutes for him to get some fabulous photos! For an extra special touch, you could decorate the car for him. Ribbons in his favourite football team’s colours would go down a treat. Geraldine Regent | Regent Classics Wedding Car Hire regentclassics.co.uk Lots of people have told us to hire a videographer, but we didn’t put it in the budget. Should we splash the cash and book one? We believe that you get what you pay for. This is true when investing in anything, but when it involves one of the biggest days of your life it couldn’t be more important. You’ll spend so much on creating the perfect day, so why not make sure you can treasure it for years to come? With the average cost of weddings in the UK now coming in at more than £30,000, it’d be a shame to only live it once. With a wedding video, you’ll see all the details you missed as well as reliving your favourite moments. Not only does it capture the sights of your wedding, but also the sounds. The vows, the speeches, the cheers and the laughter, all of which would otherwise be lost – you can’t put a price on that.
