Luxury Wedding Cars: Arrive in Style, Leave a Lasting Impression

As a luxury wedding planner who takes on only one client per weekend, I’ve seen firsthand how every detail contributes to the unforgettable experience of a wedding day—including the way you arrive.

Your wedding car isn’t just a means of transportation—it’s your first statement as a married couple. It should reflect your personality, enhance your photos, and most importantly, create a moment of pause in a day that moves quickly. That’s why I always encourage my couples to think beyond the basics and opt for a vehicle that’s as unforgettable as the day itself.

Here’s my expert guide to selecting the perfect luxury wedding car for your celebration.

The Art of the Entrance: Why Your Wedding Car Matters

Imagine this: the doors open, your gown or tux flows gracefully, the sun hits the polished chrome—and guests gasp. That’s not just an entrance; that’s a moment.

Your getaway car becomes part of your story. It's the quiet before the "I Do," the backdrop of your just-married photos, and the stylish send-off that sets the tone for the entire celebration.

At Frank Event Design, I curate weddings down to the finest detail—and that includes making sure your arrival (and exit) is nothing short of spectacular.

Handpicked Styles for Every Luxury Couple

Old-World Glamour: Vintage Rolls-Royce or Bentley

For my couples who crave timeless sophistication, a 1960s Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud or Bentley S3 is the epitome of refined luxury. With soft leather interiors and graceful bodywork, these classics are ideal for black-tie weddings at venues like The Drake or The University Club of Chicago.

These beauties photograph best in natural light. Plan a few minutes for photos before guests arrive.

Modern Elegance: Mercedes S-Class or Tesla Model S

Minimalist. Sleek. Eco-conscious? A Tesla Model S or a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class adds modern sophistication to city weddings with skyline backdrops. These vehicles are quiet, comfortable, and make a statement without saying a word.

Best paired with: Rooftop venues like The Penthouse Hyde Park or modern art galleries.

Statement-Makers: Lamborghini, Ferrari, or McLaren

If subtle isn’t your style, I have just the thing. These exotic powerhouses scream luxury and style, making them perfect for the couple who wants to turn heads. Ideal for fashion-forward weddings or bold city celebrations.

Ideal for groom entrances or a dramatic reception exit. Be sure your venue can accommodate the car’s low clearance.

Chic & Charming: Vintage Convertible or VW Kombi

For laid-back luxury or destination-style weddings, think retro convertible Mustangs or even a chic VW Kombi. They bring a breezy charm to countryside venues or lakeside ceremonies.

Venues that shine: The Armour House at Lake Forest Academy or intimate backyard celebrations.

Grand Entrances: Limousines & Stretch SUVs

When comfort, space, and celebration are top of mind, nothing beats a classic limousine. Ideal for larger bridal parties or couples wanting to pop champagne en route. And yes, I’ll make sure the cooler is stocked and the route is smooth.

Planning Ahead: Wedding Car Checklist

As with everything I do, planning ahead is key to ensuring everything runs smoothly. Here's what I always confirm for my clients:

• Book Early: Especially for rare vintage cars—availability is limited.

• Chauffeur vs. Self-Drive: Do you want to be driven or take the wheel yourself for that picture-perfect getaway?

• Photography Use: Make sure your photographer schedules time to capture your arrival and departure.

• Decor Options: Some companies allow elegant florals or ribbons. Let’s design it to complement your theme.

• Route Planning: We’ll consider traffic, lighting, and venue logistics—so you’re never rushed, only radiant.

At Frank Event Design, every couple receives my undivided attention, because that’s what luxury means—thoughtful, intentional experiences designed just for you. Your car isn’t just a ride. It’s a detail that deserves just as much attention as your floral arch or couture gown.

So whether it’s a whisper-quiet Tesla, a vintage Rolls-Royce, or a showstopping Ferrari, let’s make sure you arrive in a way that’s true to your style—and unforgettable to everyone watching.

Your entrance is the first page of your story. Let’s make it stunning.
