A Stretch Limo or a Party Bus?

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

All of us are attracted to what is ultra kool and shiny. It is only natural to look at a book’s cover and decide if we like it or not. However, what lies beneath the ultra kool and sexy hood of a stretch limo? Where does a stretch limo come from?

Stretch limosines come from chop shops where they literally chop a perfectly good and expensive car in half and weld in a midddle piece. Supplemental air conditioning is added as well as other electronic entertainment and convenience items. This may sound like a simple and straight-forward process but it is riddled with problems. They may get 10,000 miles on a set of tires if things go well and electrical anomalies abound. As a result stretch limosines can only serve up to about 40,000 miles of service before being retired.

At weddings we have done throughout Greater Detroit we have observed that it is not uncommon for a bride to arrive at the church late becomes of a stretch limo breaking down.

A party bus, however, was designed to be a party bus and placed in service straight out of the factory. Consider also that you have room to easily more around.

Our advice is to book yourself a party bus. Your chances of arriving at the church on time are greatly improved.

Don’t Neglect Safety at Your Wedding

Monday, September 20th, 2010

All brides at least have in the back of their minds a worry that something horrific will go wrong on their magic day. They pray that their wedding day might not be spoiled by an event so horrific that if captured to video would become an instant YouTube hit. Worse… what if someone received personal injury because of a safety issue such as a light cord strung across a walk-way or an ornate glass decoration positioned such that playing children could tip it over.

In a DIY wedding you may find yourself placing decorations that create hazards you may have never thought of. We observed one such example recently at a wedding in Detroit. Please examine the photo below and observe the red circles identifying tall glass vases filled with water and marbles. These water-filled vases lined both sides of the processional isle where equipment laden photographers and videographers were to traverse. As the wedding began and the bridal party began to come down the isle, someone brushed against one of these vases causing it to fall and shatter spreading a million pieces of razor sharp glass, marbles, and water down the processional isle and into the guest seating. Several guests stepped up and began a quick cleanup picking up any marbles and glass shards that could be found. Fortunately, no marbles escaped detection for someone to later slip on and nobody was cut picking up the glass shards.

You may find beautiful ornamentation to grace your wedding day but always keep safety in mind. It can bite you when you least expect it.
