Stretch Limo's... Are They Worth It?

Over the years, I've been in a LOT of stretch limos. Each time, I've always said to myself, "This really isn't that comfortable."

While it may look cool to be seen being picked up by one or riding in one, those cars are just very difficult to get in and out of. There's usually only two doors to use to get in and they are way in the back near the wheels. So to get to the front of the long stretch limo, you have to slide all the way down the seats to get to the front seating areas.

There's usually very little floor space too. The bar takes up a lot of space as well. Plus, if a bride and groom tries to pack in their wedding party into the limo as well, often it's a tight squeeze to get in. In addition, usually the wedding party needs to take items with them on the trip. I've seen ice chests, camera cases from the photographer and other big items which also need to be put in the seating area. Why not put it in the trunk? Some of these limos don't have one! Some have big subwoofers in there taking up the space.

The larger limos like converted Hummers make a better choice if you want some more room. There is a lot more headroom in these vehicles. It's a little more comfortable.

Are limo's really worth it? Well, usually only a handful of photos are taken of the limo from wedding photographers. Many times, it doesn't even make it in the wedding album. And the cost of the limo is pretty high too. Consider... you are paying by the hour for the limo too. If your wedding runs late, you are going to be paying extra. I've often thought that if you eliminate the limo from the wedding and put that money into a better wedding album, you might be getting more for your dollar. But it's all up to what you consider more important. If it were me, I'd put that money into something else.

That's the way I see it.
