NYC Wedding Transportation Checklist

Updated April 2026

Standard NYC wedding transportation: (1) Cadillac Escalade ESV for the couple, (2) Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van for bridal party, (3) optional second Sprinter for guest hotel→venue shuttle. Most NYC weddings book 8-12 hours of continuous coverage at a typical $3,250 flat for the standard 2-vehicle setup.

6-12 Months Before

  • Reserve Sprinter Van for the wedding date — peak Saturdays (May-Oct) sell out 8+ months ahead
  • Confirm hourly rates: First Class SUV (Escalade ESV) $150/hr, Sprinter $200/hr
  • Provide tentative itinerary: prep time, photo locations, ceremony, reception

2-3 Months Before

  • Finalize itinerary — exact pickup addresses, photo location, ceremony venue, reception venue, end-of-night exit
  • Confirm guest count for shuttle planning — 10-14 per Sprinter, 100-150 guests = 2 Sprinters, 200+ = 3 Sprinters
  • Specify decorations: "Just Married" signage / ribbon (Noble provides on request)
  • Specify chauffeur attire: formal black suit standard for weddings

2 Weeks Before

  • Confirm timing of every leg — chauffeur arrives 10 min early at every stop
  • Provide chauffeur with venue contact (event coordinator) for arrival coordination
  • Confirm post-reception exit time — most NYC weddings end 11 PM-1 AM
  • Optional: order chilled champagne for couple's post-ceremony moment
