Things to check for any wedding vehicle
- Entry height. Sprinter vans and party buses let a bride stand up to board, which helps with long trains and structured gowns. Sedan-based limousines are lower.
- Climate control. July and August in DC are hot and humid, so the car should be cooled before you get in.
- Photos. Classic stretch limousines and luxury sedans photograph best at the curb; buses work better for group shots inside.
- Minimum hours. Most vehicles have a minimum booking on wedding dates, so one larger vehicle can cost less than two smaller ones.
