    You have Island Limos Coalisland, Glendale Limos Omagh road Cookstown, Mid -Ulster Limos to name but a few.

    However do you really need Limo. When my sister got married a few years ago she was lucky in that our older sister had 2 silver Mercs so we just got ribbon same colour as Bridesmaids and used them. Do you know of anyone you may be asking to wedding who has fancy cars and perhaps they could do it for you as a wedding present or another alternative is if you know anyone who has a vintage car? Often the owners of these love to take Bridal parties out in them. When my own sons had their formals we asked a neighbour to take them in his vintage car (yes we still paid him even though he didnt want anything) and he was delighted as were the ladies when he turned up. If you dont know anyone with vintage car you could also go along to a vintage rally and try there.

    we've decided on a limo so the whole bridal party can travel together but thanks for your suggestion that is a good way of keeping costs down. have you used any of the limo companies or just google them like i did lol x

    I got married a very long time ago and at that time my dad sold cars so we just took a lovely new black vovlo out of showroom and put blue ribbons (bridesmaids colours) on front and that saved us over £100 28yrs ago.

    However I do know owners of Island Limos and Glendale are both very good. If I can be of any help just pm me your request as although I am a qualified Wedding Planner I dont have time but I do it free for anyone who asks.

    Glendale Limos are excellent- we had them for our wedding 2 years ago. I think it was £300 for the day no matter where we were going. They traveled quite a distance too as the groom was collected and left off at the church, bridesmaids collected and left to church and then bridesmaids and grooms men taken to reception in Donegal. We were also travelling over on the Ferry Magilligan to Redcastle and this wasn't a problem for them. Also NI Wedding Cars
