Limousines are a stylish and classic mode of transport that are very popular amongst weddings today. Timeless and elegant, they provide the perfect grand wedding entrance and exit. Allure Limousines was set up by the Smiths in 2015, after the couple ran into issues trying to find a wedding vendor with decent customer service when planning their own wedding. Limousines have long been associated with elegance and luxury – incredibly sought after features for most weddings and so I ask how does the limousine differentiate itself from the vintage car in all its grandeur and glory?
Arrive In Style
The history of limousines dates all the way back to the early 1700s. Stemming from the horse-drawn carriage, this mode of transport transported the wealthy to and from their destinations. In 1902, the first motorized limousine was created and in 1928 the stretch limousine was born. From its earliest creation, the limousine has been associated with the wealthy and tied to the rich and famous. Having a personalised chauffeur and a horse-drawn carriage was a sign that you had money and over time the limousine became a symbol of high-class and opulence.
Comfort is key at the end of the day and all brides and grooms want to be completely comfortable when travelling to their wedding venue. Transportation plays a crucial role in any wedding and therefore both the transport company and the newly-weds want this service to run as smoothly as possible. At Allure Limousines, there are an array of features that aim to make the process run seamlessly. From professional and experienced chauffers to precise attention to detail and reliability, this limousine hire company is dedicated in providing a quality service. The Smiths state that “they will ensure a safe, comfortable and stress-free journey for the couple.” With a team of skilled employees, Allure Limousines “is dedicated to being prompt and reliable,” says the Smiths.
Stand Out From The Crowd
The Smiths say that “limousines offer a unique and luxurious experience that sets them apart from other modes of transport.” While their history may be similar to that of the beloved vintage and classic car, the limousine emanates a different kind of elegance. The Smiths say “their sleek and elongated design exudes elegance, making them the perfect choice for special occasions like weddings. The luxurious interiors, plush seating, and amenities like mood lighting and entertainment systems create a glamorous ambiance.” A standout feature of the limousine is no doubt the space that it provides. These vehicles can accommodate a large number of passengers. Allure Limousines even offers Perth’s biggest limousine, seating a whopping twenty-four people – one of six in the entire country!
The privacy couples are guaranteed in a limousine is something that cannot be found in other modes of transport. “With tinted windows and a separate compartment for passengers, couples can enjoy intimate moments away from prying eyes. This privacy is especially valued on the wedding day when couples may want some time alone or wish to share special moments together,” says the Smiths. As well as the luxury they offer, limousines provide a quality VIP treatment from personal chauffers. This experience is shared with the couple’s guests and creates a memorable moment for everyone. Their popularity and luxury are unmatched in today’s market and the limousine leaves “a lasting impression on guests,” according to the Smiths.
Classic And Comfortable
Differentiating between various modes of transport is important for couples who are looking to find their perfect wedding vehicle. Allure Limousines provides an array of unique features that makes their service stand out from the crowd. While limousines are known for their elegance and luxury, the comfort they provide is unmatched with regards to other wedding vehicles. The Smiths can guarantee this, saying “the spaciousness of a limousine ensures everyone can relax, socialise and enjoy the journey in comfort.”
Allure Limousines goes that extra mile in creating long-lasting memories by offering beautiful and delicate wedding ribbon decorations and “ensure that the wedding day transportation is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail”, says the Smiths.
The design of the limousine itself is what differentiates this vehicle greatly from other classic rides. The Smiths expand on this topic saying, “through professional modifications, limousines are elongated versions of existing car models. This alteration gives them a unique and eye-catching appearance that distinguishes them from vintage cars.” Its partition window, luxurious interiors and advanced entertainment systems are all unique features to the limousine that enhance a passenger’s experience. While still a timeless and classic mode of transportation, the limousine’s exquisite stylistic features is what sets it apart from the other classic wedding modes of transport on the market today.
It’s style and exclusivity, comfort and space and excellent photography opportunities are what makes the limousine such a sought-after mode of wedding transport. When it comes to finding a classic and stylish ride for your wedding, the Smiths say to focus on comfort as “comfort is key, especially considering the often-long durations between wedding events. Look for a vehicle with spacious interiors, plush seating and amenities such as climate control, music systems, and possibly even refreshments to keep you and your bridal party comfortable throughout the journey.”
