How wedding transportation is planned
A wedding day is booked as hourly service so the vehicles stay with the schedule rather than chasing it. Start with the timeline: where the couple and wedding party get ready, the ceremony start, any stops for photographs, and when the reception ends. Dispatch turns that into a vehicle plan and a pickup order, and the chauffeurs arrive early at the first address. If the photographer needs twenty more minutes, the car waits.
Most couples book two or three pieces: a first-class sedan for the couple, a Sprinter for the wedding party, and an SUV for parents or grandparents. Guests staying at one hotel can be shuttled to the ceremony and back in a Sprinter so nobody has to arrange their own car late at night.

Photographs around the city
Washington gives couples memorable backdrops within a short drive: the Lincoln Memorial and the Reflecting Pool, the Tidal Basin, the Georgetown waterfront, and the brick streets of Old Town Alexandria across the river. Parking is restricted around the National Mall, so the chauffeur drops the party at the closest legal curb and circles or waits nearby until you are ready. Allow extra time on spring weekends, when crowds around the Tidal Basin slow every approach.
Ceremony and reception logistics
Hotel ballrooms downtown, historic churches in Georgetown and on Capitol Hill, and venues along the Potomac each have their own arrival arrangements. Share the exact entrance for each stop when you book. Full-size Sprinters cannot use every hotel driveway or older Georgetown street, so dispatch confirms each pickup point in advance and recommends the right vehicle for it.

Can the car wait while we take photographs on the National Mall?
Yes. On hourly service the chauffeur drops you at the nearest legal curb and waits or circles nearby until you are ready to move on.
