Wedding Transportation
About This Tour
Your wedding day deserves transportation that matches its significance – beautiful, reliable, stress-free, and perfectly coordinated. Belfast Tour Company provides luxury wedding transportation across Northern Ireland, ensuring the wedding party, family, and guests arrive on time, in style, and in the right emotional state to celebrate your special day. Weddings are complex logistical events where transportation timing affects everything else. Delayed transportation means delayed ceremonies, anxious couples, frustrated photographers, and cascading schedule problems. That's why we approach wedding transportation with meticulous planning, backup systems, and absolute commitment to punctuality. In hundreds of weddings, we've maintained a perfect record of on-time arrivals – because nothing else is acceptable on your wedding day. We provide transportation for all wedding day needs: bride and bridal party from preparation location to ceremony venue, groom and groomsmen transport, family member coordination, guest shuttles between venues, and newlywed transportation from ceremony to reception or to accommodation after celebrations conclude. Our luxury Mercedes fleet includes sedans perfect for intimate couple transport and minivans accommodating bridal parties or family groups. Wedding transportation planning begins months in advance. We discuss your complete wedding day schedule – preparation locations, ceremony venue, photo locations, reception venue, accommodation, and timing for each element. Based on this, we create a detailed transportation plan covering who needs transport, from where to where, at what times, and with what vehicles. We coordinate with your wedding planner, photographer, and venues to ensure our timing aligns with your overall schedule. Our Mercedes vehicles are immaculately maintained and beautifully presented for weddings. We include tasteful ribbon decoration at no extra charge, with ribbon colors matching your wedding scheme if you provide details in advance. Vehicles are professionally detailed before your wedding day, ensuring they look as beautiful as your celebration demands. We provide complimentary champagne for newlywed transportation and bottled water for all wedding party transport. We maintain backup vehicle availability for every wedding booking. If any vehicle experiences problems (which is extraordinarily rare), a replacement arrives immediately. This backup guarantee is included in all wedding packages at no additional cost – it's simply how we ensure nothing goes wrong on your irreplaceable day. Wedding transportation is priced based on vehicle requirements, total service hours, and distances traveled. Typical packages range from £300-500 depending on complexity. We provide detailed written quotes specifying all included services, vehicles, timing, and any additional costs. Once booked, rates are locked regardless of petrol price changes or other factors. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony, a grand celebration, a destination wedding in Northern Ireland, or anything in between, Belfast Tour Company ensures your wedding day transportation is one less thing to worry about – beautiful, reliable, and perfectly executed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this tour answered by our expert guides
What is the best time of year for this tour?
This tour is spectacular year-round! Summer (June-August) offers the longest days and warmest weather, perfect for outdoor exploration. Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) provide beautiful landscapes with fewer crowds and comfortable temperatures. Winter (November-March) offers dramatic seascapes and a moody, atmospheric experience. Each season has its unique charm, and we provide weather-appropriate recommendations for all conditions.
How flexible is the itinerary?
Very flexible! One of the biggest advantages of a private tour is that you set the pace. If you want to spend extra time at a particular location for photos or exploration, we can adjust. If something doesn't interest you, we can skip it or substitute another attraction. Want to stop for coffee or a restroom break? Just let us know. This is your personal tour, designed around your interests and energy levels.
Is this tour suitable for children?
Yes! We welcome families and children of all ages. Our guides are experienced at engaging young travelers with age-appropriate stories and activities. We can adjust the pace to accommodate children's attention spans and energy levels. Child seats are available upon request. For families with teens, we find they particularly enjoy the dramatic landscapes and pop culture connections (like Game of Thrones locations).
Do we need to buy attraction tickets in advance?
For most attractions, advance booking isn't required. However, during peak season (July-August) or on weekends, some popular sites like the Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre can be busy. We'll advise you on whether pre-booking is recommended based on your tour date. Entry fees are typically paid on arrival and are not included in the tour price unless specifically stated.
What should I wear and bring?
Dress in layers as Northern Ireland weather can change throughout the day. Comfortable walking shoes with good grip are essential for coastal paths and uneven terrain. Bring a waterproof jacket (even if it looks sunny!), sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera. We provide bottled water and umbrellas. For longer tours, you may want to bring snacks, though we'll stop at cafes and restaurants.
Can you accommodate dietary requirements for meal stops?
Absolutely! Northern Ireland has excellent options for all dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, and other requirements. Just let us know your needs when booking, and we'll recommend appropriate restaurants and cafes along the route. Many traditional Irish dishes can be adapted to accommodate various diets.
Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
Our Mercedes vehicles can accommodate folding wheelchairs, and many attractions have accessible facilities. However, some coastal locations involve uneven terrain, steps, or gravel paths that may be challenging for wheelchairs. Let us know about mobility requirements when booking, and we'll design an itinerary that maximizes accessibility while still capturing the best of Northern Ireland. We can also recommend viewpoints that don't require extensive walking.
Can we combine this tour with other activities?
Yes! Many guests combine tours or add extra activities like distillery tastings at Bushmills, rope bridge crossings at Carrick-a-Rede, or lunch at a specific restaurant. We can also incorporate stops at golf courses, genealogy centers, or craft shops. Just share your interests when booking, and we'll create a comprehensive itinerary that makes the most of your day.
Do you provide pickup from cruise ships?
Yes! We specialize in cruise ship excursions and know how to maximize your limited port time. We'll meet you at the cruise terminal at your specified time and ensure you return with plenty of buffer time before your ship departs (we guarantee you won't miss your ship!). Our tours are perfectly timed for typical Belfast port calls, whether you have 6, 8, or 10 hours ashore.
What makes your tours different from large group bus tours?
Everything! While bus tours follow rigid schedules with 50+ people, our private tours are just your group. You travel in a luxury Mercedes (not a crowded coach), set your own pace, stop whenever you want for photos, skip what doesn't interest you, and receive personalized attention from your guide. You'll hear local stories and insider tips not included in standard tours, and you can ask questions freely. It's like exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than being part of a tourist herd.
Can we book a multi-day version of this tour?
Absolutely! Many guests extend this tour into a 2-3 day comprehensive Northern Ireland experience. We can arrange overnight accommodations and create an expanded itinerary that includes additional destinations without the rush. Multi-day tours allow for a more relaxed pace, evening activities, and the opportunity to explore places that are too far for a day trip. Contact us for custom multi-day itinerary planning and pricing.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before your tour for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours incur a 50% fee, and no-shows are non-refundable. For weather-related concerns, we handle each situation individually to ensure your safety and satisfaction. If we must cancel due to severe weather or unforeseen circumstances, you'll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule. We understand travel plans change and work to be as accommodating as possible.
