Alaska Wedding Limousines

Getting around for your wedding in the Last Frontier State.

For one of life's greatest celebrations, why not travel in style? Even in Alaska, the tradition of a wedding limousine for the bride and groom lives on, whether to the ceremony, the reception or on to the honeymoon. However, your travel options don't end there. A small cruise ship might shuttle you up the coast, or bus service may help you save costs transporting a large wedding party. For those marrying in remote locations, helicopter or biplane travel may be your best bet.

Alaska Wedding Limo Services

To find a dedicated wedding transportation vendor for your Alaska wedding, check your local Yellow Pages. If you are unable to find a local option, look to your nearest major city, such as Anchorage or Juneau. Limo services in AK are often willing to travel, though there may be an added fee.

Alaskan Splendor is one of the state's top transportation vendors, and was Limo Digest's National Midsize Operator of the Year in 2006. They offer everything from Alaska's longest stretch limo to jet charter services to add elegance to your special day.

For larger parties and events, Alaska Timberwolf Tours offers luxury bus and limo services for Anchorage and the surrounding areas. They are happy to provide suggestions for day trips and sight-seeing tours, as well!

If you are traveling beyond Anchorage, consider Elite Limo Alaska. While their options are somewhat limited, they offer service to many points south, such as Seward and Denali National Park.

For a charming take on wedding transportation, you might consider The Horse Drawn Carriage Company of Chugiak. Whether on their dedicated pastoral ranch or through the streets of downtown Anchorage, they provide an elegant, memorable way to move about on your wedding day. Carriages seat up to 12 adults and feature a lovely Victorian-era theme.

How Can I Save Money on Wedding Transportation?

Rising fuel costs continue to push the already high transportation prices in Alaska even higher. To save, invite your wedding party along and work out an arrangement to split the bill. This is the easiest way to travel in style, and allows you the pleasure of having your closest friends and family with you throughout the events of your special day.

Also consider bus service, as these may offer group rates or discounts for long trips. For the bare essentials, you can hop a ride on Alaska's public transportation, available in Anchorage, Juneau, Ketchikan and Fairbanks. The state also operates a number of inter-island ferries, which may help you save on transport, as well. Don't go by plane if there's a boat available!

Ride shares or caravans may also help you save money. Ask your older family members and friends (preferably those in your wedding party) if they would be willing to let you borrow their luxury vehicle for an afternoon, or if they would do you the honor of transporting you to and from your day's events.

Regardless of where you choose to tie the knot in Alaska, you can get there without going over budget. Always ask your wedding transport service about package rates, deals, and inquire about on-time guarantees, current licensing, and references from past satisfied couples. To further reduce costs, look to keep your reception and ceremony locations within walking distance of one another. This will cut down on the overall transportation time for the day, and should save you money you can put toward other aspects of your wedding day.
