The vast majority of the weddings at Keswick Hall are considered “destination” weddings. With that comes additional transportation requirements to help make the weekend go smoothly. Albemarle Limousine is the perfect solution to making sure everyone arrives on time and gets back to their final destinations safely. Whether your plans require transportation to the UVa Chapel or Grace Episcopal Church for a ceremony or back to other hotels after the reception, we have found that Albemarle Limousine, and their fantastic staff, will drive the transportation stress away!

1) How did Albemarle Limousine get started?

While planning my daughter’s wedding in early 2007, I was surprised to find that the closest classic wedding car rental was in Washington D.C. This prompted an intensive search for beautiful cars that would enhance weddings and other special celebrations in the Charlottesville area. The museum quality vintage cars were collected from around the country and carefully restored.

As we began offering full service wedding transportation we changed our name to Albemarle Limousine to reflect our broader range of services.

2) What can a bride and groom expect when working with Albemarle Limousine?

Albemarle Limousine is your wedding and bridal transportation solution!  We offer everything from Mercedes sedans and vintage limousines to full size coaches and everything in between.  Our Wedding Transportation Packages are designed to meet your needs whether you desire a get-away car or transportation for 200 wedding guests.  Our Transportation Supervisor is an integral component in allowing us to solve the complex needs of your wedding transportation.

Our Transportation Supervisors provide on-site coordination to ensure a flawless wedding experience. Working with detailed itineraries and passenger manifests, they structure shuttle releases for maximum timeline adherence all the while remaining flexible to respond to your guests’ needs.

3) Albemarle Limousine has some fantastic vintage cars in your fleet. Which would you say is your favorite and why?

Our vintage fleet is comprised of:

1940 Pearl White Senior Packard Limousine

1946 Silver Jaguar Mark IV

1948 Midnight Blue Fleetwood Cadillac Limousine

1949 Jet Black Fleetwood Cadillac Limousine

And I love them all, but …

Elegance in motion!  Our pearl-white 1940 Packard Limousine is a very rare, museum-quality car that still looks like it came right out of central casting.  Purchased in southern California, this car was one of a group of top-of-the-line limousines that transported top movie stars in style.  The glamour and elegance that attended this car during the heyday of Hollywood royalty is now enjoyed by select wedding parties in central Virginia.  Brides and grooms have told us that they enjoy the grace and beauty of a royal ride in a vehicle best described as a “rolling work of art.”  Perhaps because of the spectacular visual presentation, wedding photographers have told us that this car has provided them with some of their favorite wedding shots. Interior photos provide the depth of field that one can only find in a vehicle with extraordinary depth.  Our brides confirm that whether taken in traditional black and white or living color, their most special memories include framed photos with the Packard.

4) Which is your favorite car for the “get-away”?

Albemarle Limousine’s signature service is our vintage limousine get-away.   While the 1940 Packard is a beautiful vehicle for its graceful lines and photogenic qualities, our Fleetwood Cadillac Limousines and our Jaguar are classically elegant and make a stunning impression as well.  Whether it be a sparkler send off or sitting under fireworks, there is something magical about glimmering lights reflected on a classic vehicle.  Our Mercedes sedan get-away is also very popular and offers a nice alternative to our vintage limousine get-away.

5) What is the largest vehicle in your fleet? 

The largest vehicle we use for weddings is a 55 passenger coach.  We often utilize several 47 or 55 Passenger coaches for wedding guest transportation.  The largest rehearsal dinner and wedding for which we provided service included three 55 Passengers, three 47 Passengers, one 24 Passenger, two limousines, two SUVs, three sedans, and one vintage limousine; our 1940 Senior Packard Limousine for early evening photos and bride and groom get-away.

6) What is the #1 reason you think hiring transportation benefits a bride and groom?

Weddings are our specialty and our passion!  We understand the potential stress involved with planning a wedding and make choosing your wedding transportation package a breeze by using our experience to help guide you to the best option for your needs.

Our On-Site Transportation Coordinator & Supervision ensures that your wedding transportation runs smoothly and seamlessly.  While coaches are not the most romantic part of the wedding, they offer a significant benefit allowing your guests to fully enjoy the day without worries of getting lost or driving after the celebration.  We take our wedding transportation service seriously and pride ourselves on being detail oriented with preemptive problem solving capabilities.

Our vintage limousine chauffeurs are professionally trained, well groomed, impeccably dressed, charming and personable.

It is our team that sets us apart and allows us to provide the premier wedding transportation service in central Virginia.

Albemarle Limousine also offers rehearsal dinner transportation as well as pre-wedding day wine excursions for your guests, through their Blue Ridge Wine Excursions. (Ranked the number one area activity on Trip Advisor.) These services can be bundled into your full service wedding transportation package.

7) Do you have any “behind-the-scenes” adventures?

Recently we had a fourteen vehicle wedding where our Transportation Supervisor arrived on site early and found that a vehicle was illegally parked, blocking the coach route to the church.  He was there in time to ensure the car was towed and that service was not delayed.  All 235 wedding guests, (and the bride and groom) were totally unaware and the celebration went on without a glitch!

Happy planning!
