Limousines and Transportation

Nashville Limousine Service

Limousine service adds elegance to your wedding and causes heads to turn. There are many Nashville Limousine Services from which to choose. Each offering a wide selection of vehicles. A stretch limo is the traditional choice but you may want something a little different, perhaps a classic Rolls Royce, vintage car, luxury coach, trolley or even a London taxi cab. You may also choose non-motorized transportation: a horse drawn “Cinderella” carriage or hot air balloon. The goal is to have fun and have people notice you.

Consider providing limousine service for your guests, especially if your event is in an out-of-the-way place or parking is limited. Scheduling is important in planning limousine service. Check with your photographer, wedding planner, hair and makeup person before locking in your time line.

Limousine Service ‘Need to Know’

• Book limousine service 4-6 months out. Remember, prom season: May-March
• Decide how many people will need transportation
• Ask for proof of insurance and proper licensing
• Decide if you need the car on-call or only for specific transfers
• For specialty cars get a guarantee
• Read your contract, paying particular attention to pick up and drop off times and location

All About Wedding Cakes

The wedding cake is the traditional finale to your wedding reception. However, today your ‘wedding desert’ does not have to be a wedding cake. Edible wedding favors such as decorated wedding cookies or chocolate truffles provide an enjoyable alternative and help your wedding stand out. When picking your desert consider all the options you have and remember to taste each one.

Nashville has some very talented sugar artists to choose from to create your wedding cake.

Classic Monogrammed Wedding Cake

Do you want a wedding cake or an extraordinary wedding cake? The answer is obvious. When choosing the person who will bake your wedding cake consider their experience, artistic ability and the cost.

Using fondant icing your cake baker will be able to create a cake with a lovely alabaster-like finish that you see in magazines. Traditional buttercream might be less costly but will give a different look. Then there are always cupcakes instead of a cake at all.

Your budget is important. Wedding cakes start at $2.00 per serving, and a one-of-a-kind sugar masterpiece can be $20 a serving. Only you can determine what your wedding cake should be. Ask how many servings you will actually need because every cake baker bases this on a slightly different serving size.

Your baker should be able to answers all your questions and provide guidance in selecting your wedding cake.
