Let The Celebrations Begin
Amid your wedding planning, it’s easy to overlook one key detail – your wedding transport. However, it should be considered as more than just a ride, but rather as an experience to relax, celebrate and create forever memories. Western Australia Wedding & Bride’s Josephine Day shines a light on how the right transport can elevate your entire day. Join her as she chats with Matt Smith, CEO of Allure Limousines, to explore the elegance, emotional connection, and timeless appeal of limousines – proving why they remain a timeless favourite among couples on their way to say, “I do.”

Priding themselves on reliability, elegance and exceptional customer service, Smith and the team at Allure Limousines are dedicated to making your wedding transport the most stress-free part of your day. “At Allure Limousines, we specialise in luxury transport for weddings, school balls and special events across Perth. Our fleet includes everything from modern stretch limousines – including Perth’s largest 24-seater Mega Limo – to timeless vintage wedding cars like the classic Mark 5 Jaguar,” says Smith.
Whether you envision arriving in a sleek limo or a romantic vintage car, Allure Limousines has the perfect option to suit your style and create a photo-worthy entrance. Since the early days of modern weddings, the limousine has remained an iconic and elegant choice. “There’s something special about stepping out of a gleaming stretch limo or a vintage wedding car in front of your guests – it sets the tone for the entire celebration. Plus, with the size and comfort of a limousine, the whole bridal party can travel together, relax, and soak in those pre-ceremony moments. It’s practical, stylish and unforgettable – everything a wedding should be,” he continues.
Arriving In Elegance
As trends continue to evolve in the wedding industry, limousines remain a beloved and enduring choice for many couples. “Limos continue to hold their place because they offer something that modern alternatives just can’t replicate – a sense of occasion,” Smith says. He compares limousines to ride-share apps and other luxury vehicles, noting that while they may get you to your destination, they lack the tradition, glamour and experience that his services provide. “Unlike other transport options, a limo experience is tailored – professional, chauffeurs, red carpet service, coordinated timing – it’s all part of the magic. In an era where everything is about speed
and convenience, a limousine slows down the moment and makes it special. That’s timeless.”
This emotional, experience-driven approach is especially resonating with younger couples. Smith observes that millennials and Gen Z are embracing limousines in fresh ways – whether it’s for an Instagram-worthy entrance, a party on wheels, or simply to enjoy an extra layer of comfort and class. Couples are putting their own spin on a traditional favourite, making it truly theirs. “Ultimately, we listen to what our couples want and match them with a vehicle that fits their style, not just tradition. It’s all about blending the charm of the past with the polish of today,” Smith explains.
Chauffeured With Love
Amidst the glamour and red-carpet feel, couples often fall in love with limousines not just for the luxury, but for the memories they create – ones that can’t be replicated elsewhere. It’s the feeling of occasion, elegance, and how special it makes one feel that stands out. “Couples often tell us that what they love most about being in a limo on their big day is the calm before the celebration – those rare, quiet moments to breathe, laugh, and just be present with their closest people,” Smith states.
Today’s limos are also equipped with modern tech to enhance the experience – Bluetooth for personal playlists, soft ambient lighting, and vibrant LED features that set the perfect pre-reception mood. As you sip champagne and relax, the limo becomes your own personal retreat. Matching the vehicle to the wedding aesthetic is also part of the magic. “Vintage cars like our 1950 Mark 5 Jaguar or 1957 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud are especially popular for romantic, classic-themed weddings,” he describes. “For modern weddings, stretch limos and our Mega Hummer add a bold, luxe touch. Couples love the symmetry, reflections, and sleek lines the cars bring to their photos.”
Smith recalls a quiet ride to the ceremony where the bride and her father shared silence and soft laughter, soaking in the moment. He also remembers a bride brough to tears when her grandfather surprised her by joining the limo ride – a powerful reunion full of love. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the car, including mine,” he admits. This is the heart of wedding transport – creating authentic, emotional, and lasting memories.
Beyond The Big Day
While your wedding day is all about you and your partner, there’s a dedicated team behind the scenes sharing in the excitement – one of them being your personal chauffeur. For Smith, hearing that a couple considered their limousine a highlight of the day is one of the best feelings. “What I love most about being part of someone’s wedding day is knowing that we get to play a small but meaningful role in one of the most important moments of their life. As a business owner – and sometimes even as a driver – it’s a real privilege to witness the joy, nerves, laughter and love up close.”
Beyond weddings, Allure Limousines also provides transport for pre- and post-wedding events, including hens and bucks’ nights, late-night pick-ups, guest shuttles, and more. No matter the occasion, Smith strongly advises couples to book their wedding transport early. With high demand – especially for vintage cars, stretch limos, and larger vehicles – availability can be limited, particularly during peak wedding seasons. Booking months, or even a year in advance, ensures you have a wider selection and peace of mind. “Whether you’re after timeless elegance or a big, bold arrival, we’ve got the perfect ride waiting for you, just don’t leave it too late!” Smith advises.
