Out-of-the-Ordinary Transportation
Think your transportation choices are limited to limousines and buses? Think again. "You can call anybody and ask if their vehicle is available for rent," says Greenwich-based event planner Jody Brefere, jodybrefereevents.com. "I've rented a fire truck for a groom who was a fireman, and a yellow school bus for a bride who was a teacher." If your wedding is being held near the water, rent a boat. "Ask whoever is working at the boat dock if they know someone who might be willing to rent theirs," she says. For fall weddings in Connecticut, Brefere suggests contacting a local apple orchard to rent a flatbed for the day, and then turn the trek (from the parking lot to the ceremony, or from the ceremony to the reception) into a fun hayride. Here, donkeys led guests to an October wedding held in a rustic country barn.
