Poll: Lets talk transportation.

FI and I need to decide how we are going to get from the hotel to church (separately) and then from the church to the reception (together). 

I read the post below about limos, so I'm keeping that in mind, but what is everyone doing for transportation? Are you using an antique car, having somebody drive you, or what? If you are doing something unique for transportation, who are you booking through?

We get special rates with Enterprise through my employer, so I will probably just rent an SUV to get me, my sisters, mom and FMIL around the day of since not everyone and our stuff will fit in my civic. One sister can then return it the next day for me at the airport. FI and I will take his car from the reception to wherever we go afterwards.

We are using our Tahoe for my fiance and his groomsmen to get to the ceremony and my bridesmaids and I will be taking a limo from the hotel to the ceremony. Then my fiance and I would like to rent an antique or classic car to drive us away from the ceremony and from the reception but I havent found any where that I like to rent from so if anyone has ideas or suggestions I could use them as well. Thanks AKG for the great post!

Our ceremony and reception will be at the same place and it's downtown. Our wedding party is all OOT, so they will have rental cars (mostly.)  We have a limo taking myself and my parents to the venue from the hotel, and my bridesmaids will follow in their rental cars or just take cabs (obviously, I would give them cab fare.)  It's only a 5 min drive and they've said they're not sure yet if they want their cars with them, or would prefer to be able to drink without worry. Then the limo will take FI and I back to the hotel at the end of the reception.  FI and the guys will just do the same - carpool in cars or take cabs to the venue beforehand. The limo is from Transportation Consultants because they gave me the best price for two trips with no hourly minimum.

Our current plan is that we'll book a limo to take myself, bridesmaids, mothers, and maybe my grandmother to the KAG salon to have hair/make up done and then to the venue. Our ceremony & reception are both at the TWFC Mansion. The groom and his groomsmen are going to be riding in one of the groomsmen's Cadillac CTS-V (which was a boy decision, btw). Then we are planning on having a 1952 Bentley Mark VI take the groom and I from the reception to where ever we end up going afterwards. Currently we're planning through Bill Talley at Transportation Consultants. They're even arranging the valet service for our guests. He was recommended by our wedding planner and has been super to work with.

Ok, what limo companies are you all using? And you're welcome mybestfriend )

Ours is all in one spot so that makes things a little bit easier. I am pretty sure we will be using his car as our get away car (Scion xD). We may have to rent something to get the bridal party to the wedding though. Probably from a normal rental car place.

Our ceremony and reception is all in one location and me and the girls will not be running around town to get beautified. The make-up and hair people are coming to my venue to get us ready. So the only transportation we need is from the wedding venue to the hotel for the wedding night. So we hired Austin Black Car Service and we just got a Black Escalade w/ driver to take us to the hotel. Also it will only be me and my FI to the hotel in that car.
