Vendor Spotlight: Niles Limo

There's likely to be a lot of "Vendor Spotlights" coming down the pipeline. I've been booking vendors left and right these last couple weeks. My girlfriend Tami, Little Miss Southern, has been a great wedding planning accountability partner. We're always going back and forth on gchat (not during work hours, of course) with all of our wedding planning craziness! The two of us have made all sorts of strides in the planning process.

One of the other vendors I've recently booked is Niles Limo. Just like my comments about rental companies and photographers, I did my research. I looked at Silver Oak, Matchless, and Celebrity. Can I be honest? It's a combination of price and service. Niles Limo knocked these other companies out of the park. Seriously. Michael Niles has been my correspondence through the whole booking process and he responds to emails with lightening speed. You know that really makes me happy. Things I love about this company: A) It's family owned B) HUGE attention to detail and C) CUSTOMER SERVICE. Heard of it? I've recently noticed that it's few and far between. If you can't take the time to spell my name right (it's Sarah, not Sara), I'm not going to hire you for the biggest day of my life. Absolutely not. Mr. Niles has treated me like a celebrity and as though I'm their most important client.

{oh yeah, that's our ride}

We've decided to go with 2 limos. Here's the game plan: 8 person limo for Mr. SE and I, and 14 person Navigator for the bridal party. Mr. SE and I can enjoy a romantic ride as newlyweds, while the rest of our bridal party hangs like rock stars. As you know, we purposely scheduled a 2 hour gap between ceremony and reception so we could get some AMAZING pictures. Whad up, JCP?!? Mr. Niles has already told me there will be wedding decorations (hooray!), and bottled ice water for us in the limo. We're getting married in August- it's likely to feel like 100 degrees. Ice water in the limo is the best news I've heard yet!

The Getaway

The wedding is over, the last dance has been danced. This is how I picture our romantic getaway.{the knot}

And this is how Mr. SE pictures us leaving...Well ladies, marriage is all about compromise and picking your battles. Looks like we'll be leaving in a Lamborghini- as long as there's one for rent in Nashville. Mr. SE's wishes for the wedding are as follows: Leaving in a Lambo, Catholic ceremony, and 8+ of his closest friends as groomsmen. Ceremony, check. Lambo, check. Groomsmen- we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

If I can't have a getaway in a romantic car, at least I can wear a romantic (and chic) dress! Here's one I'm loving right now.{nordstrom}
