Wedding & Private Event Transportation in Seattle

Bridal party limousines, guest shuttle loops, getaway cars and after-party buses — planned on one timeline, priced as one package and run by a coordinator who stays reachable all day. Across 37 Washington cities, 24 hours a day.

Quick Answers

The four things couples and event planners ask us first — answered plainly.

What is wedding and private event transportation?

It is chauffeured transport planned around a specific occasion rather than a single trip: a limousine for the couple and bridal party, shuttle loops carrying guests between ceremony, reception and hotel, and a late run home at the end of the night — all on one timed run sheet and one invoice.

How much does a wedding limo cost in Seattle?

Wedding packages start at $895 for four hours in a stretch limousine and $1,195 for six hours in our deluxe stretch with red carpet and ribbon trim. Guest shuttles run $165 per hour in a 14-passenger Sprinter and $195 per hour in a 24-seat mini coach, with a three to four hour minimum.

How many vehicles do I need for my wedding guests?

One 14-passenger Sprinter moves roughly 40 guests an hour on a short hotel-to-venue loop and a 24-seat mini coach about 70. Tell us your guest count and the arrival window and we will model the exact vehicle mix and loop timings for you.

How far ahead should wedding transport be booked?

Six to eight weeks for most dates, and three to six months for summer Saturdays between June and September, when Seattle, Woodinville and Snoqualmie venues book out first. The deposit holds the specific vehicle and chauffeur for your date.

The Car Is in Every Photograph

A wedding day is a timeline held together by small margins. The photographer needs twenty minutes at Kerry Park, the ceremony cannot start without the couple, and fifty guests are standing outside a Bellevue hotel waiting for something to arrive. Transportation is the thread running through all of it, and it is judged entirely by whether it disappears.

So we plan it like logistics rather than car hire. Guest counts become loop times. Venue loading zones are checked before the day. The limousine is staged before the first movement, not dispatched when somebody calls. And a single coordinator holds the whole run sheet, so when the speeches run twenty minutes long there is one person to call and one decision to make.

Ten years and more than 15,000 completed rides across the Puget Sound sit behind that — which Woodinville venues can take a 24-seat coach down their driveway, how long the Snoqualmie run really takes on a summer Saturday, and which downtown hotel entrance loads fifty guests fastest in the rain.

Build Your Wedding Fleet

Room for dresses, suits, gifts and flowers alongside the bridal party on the way to the venue.

The workhorse of guest shuttles — fast loading, executive seating and a dedicated luggage area.

Wedding & Event Questions, Answered

Direct answers to what couples, families and planners ask us most. Anything else, our dispatch desk is staffed 24 hours a day.

How many hours should we book a wedding limousine for?+
Four hours covers a straightforward ceremony-to-reception day with photographs in between. Six hours is the most common booking and allows for a first-look shoot, a scenic photo stop and a relaxed arrival. Eight hours suits weddings with separate ceremony and reception venues or an out-of-town location such as Woodinville or Snoqualmie.
Can one limousine cover both the bridal party and the guests?+
Rarely, and we will tell you honestly when it cannot. Most weddings use a limousine for the couple and wedding party plus one or two Sprinters or a mini coach looping guests between the hotel and the venue. Both run on the same timeline and appear on a single quote.
Do you decorate the wedding vehicle?+
Yes. Ribbon, floral trim, 'Just Married' signage and the red carpet are fitted before your first pickup at no extra charge on deluxe packages. Confetti, glitter and anything adhesive are not permitted inside the vehicle as they incur a cleaning fee.
What happens if the ceremony or photographs run late?+
We build buffer into every wedding run sheet, and on hourly bookings the chauffeur simply waits with no separate waiting charge inside the booked hours. If the day runs past the booked time and the vehicle is free, extra hours are added at the same rate with dispatch approving it on the spot.
Can guests drink on the shuttle between venues?+
Guests aged 21 and over may enjoy sealed beverages in the rear cabin of our limousines, Sprinters and party buses. We stock ice, glassware and bottled water. Open containers are never permitted near the chauffeur, and we card anyone who looks under 30.
Do you serve wedding venues outside Seattle?+
We cover all 37 Washington cities we serve, including Woodinville wine country venues, Snoqualmie and the Salish Lodge, Bellevue and Kirkland waterfront venues, Bainbridge Island, Gig Harbor and Tacoma. Travel time to out-of-town venues is included in the quoted package.
Is a deposit required, and can we reschedule?+
A deposit secures the specific vehicle and chauffeur for your date and is non-transferable. Weddings rescheduled more than thirty days ahead can usually be moved to another available date — call dispatch on (206) 615-5466 and we will work it through with you.
Can we view the limousine before booking?+
Yes, and we encourage it for weddings. Call (206) 615-5466 to arrange a viewing at our downtown office at 1420 5th Ave, and we will have the exact vehicle named on your contract ready to inspect inside and out.
Do you provide transportation for private parties other than weddings?+
We do: anniversary dinners, milestone birthdays, engagement parties, retirement celebrations, bar and bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, memorial services and family reunions. The same coordinator, fleet and fixed-package approach applies to all of them.
Are your vehicles licensed and insured for venue requirements?+
Seattle Limo Service is fully licensed in Washington state and every vehicle carries commercial liability insurance. We supply certificates of insurance naming your venue as additional insured whenever their contract requires it.
