What An 8-Seater Does On A Wedding Day
Most wedding days have a handful of journeys nobody wants to drive. The family needs getting from the house to the ceremony on time, guests staying at a hotel need a lift to the venue, and somebody has to make the run from the ceremony to the reception. An 8-seater with a driver covers those runs, so the people closest to you arrive together.
The conference seating helps more than you might expect. The seats face each other, so the bridesmaids, the ushers or the grandparents travel as one group and chat on the way instead of sitting in rows. When the evening is over, the return trip can drop guests at their own front doors rather than one meeting point.
Venues Around Southport We Run Between
The venues on Sefton's list are short runs apart. Sefton Council's register office is in Southport Town Hall on Corporation Street, where the Council Chamber holds up to 64 people and the Ante Room up to 20. The council's list of approved venues also takes in hotels such as the Royal Clifton on the Promenade, The Grand and the Vincent, plus the Tithebarn at Meols Hall, Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa, and Aintree Racecourse.
The runs between them are short. From the Town Hall it is about two minutes to the Royal Clifton, about eight minutes to Meols Hall and about a quarter of an hour to Formby Hall, while Aintree is nearer half an hour. Those are drive times in clear traffic, so it is worth leaving a little slack in a Saturday plan. They are simply venues we drive to; we have no partnership with any of them.
Sefton's own page describes its venue list as current and asks couples to contact the register office before confirming a date with a venue. The current details are on sefton.gov.uk.
Planning The Day: Stops, Timings And The Return
A good wedding quote starts with the running order. Send us every pickup address, the ceremony and reception venues, the times people need to be there and the time you want the evening return. One pickup and one drop-off are included in a booking, and each extra pickup or drop-off in the Southport area is £5.00, so collecting three households before the ceremony is simple to price.
The booking form below asks for a landing time because it is the same form we use for airport work. For a wedding, put the evening pickup in the return date and time box and list the venues in special requirements.
If you are flying off afterwards, the same vehicle runs airport transfers from Southport to Manchester, Liverpool John Lennon and the rest of the UK airports, so the honeymoon run can be arranged in the same conversation.
Dressed Up And Carrying Bits: Boot And Cabin
Wedding guests rarely travel light. The large boot takes suit carriers, overnight bags for the hotel, a pushchair or the box of favours that has to reach the venue, and the USB sockets mean phones are charged for the photographs. The LED lighting is a nice touch on the evening run home.
Travelling with a baby? Bring your own car seat, and if it is not needed at the venue we store it free of charge between journeys. Tell us what is coming with you in the special requirements box when you book.
Bigger Wedding Parties
We run one 8-seater, so this is the right size for the wedding party, the close family or the hotel-to-venue run, rather than a coach for every guest. When the numbers go past eight, a second 8-seater minibus or a car can be arranged on request. Give us the headcount when you ask for a quote and we will tell you plainly what we can cover on your date.
The same vehicle handles plenty of group trips beyond weddings through our minibus hire in Southport, and families who only need one journey with everyone together can book it as an 8 seater taxi.
