    hi everyone, I am not to get married until July 2016 but I am having trouble working out when I should book transport? I have already had to book photographer and dj etc. due to them filling up quick for that year, so wasn't sure if I should have the transport sorted too.

    when did everyone else book theirs, help please :-)

    We booked ours for August 2015 this October following a car company drop out of our booking and we really struggled to find someone although we did eventually so I would say book BY July 2015 at the latest as your month will be a popular month :)

    Alot of it depends on what time of year and what day of the week you are getting married on. Although we got married in August, it was on a Tuesday and had no problem booking anything so didn't have to book too many things way in advance.

    Peak season Saturday wedding dates are always going to get booked up quickly so I'd do it at least a year ahead.

    Maybe start looking around and getting quotes after christmas then decide from there. Some people see transport as an important part of a wedding and book ASAP whereas other brides may not be bothered and happy to use a borrowed car or book a few months before the date. Depends on your opinions really, but as I say, maybe quotes first then whenever you have a deposit x
