10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
I don't want everyone to feel squeezed in!! It'll be me, FH, 2 MOHs, 2 Best Men, 1 JR Usher, 2 Jr BM and 1 FG.One good thing is that 4 of the people are little ones!! So should we be okay? I would think but I have no idea what they mean by 10 passenger- if it fits exactly that and no more, or it's how people fit comfortably?
Thanks!

From when I was in a limo for Prom, they always say get it for 2 more than you have to fit. I would go with a 12 pass so all the dresses and tuxes are ok and everyone is comfortable for the ride!

Most limo companies suggest a 10-passenger for a 8 person wedding party.We went with a 12 passenger limo for our 10 member wedding party. The guys barely had enough leg room to stretch with all the girls dresses flowing every which way.

i would go bigger! one limo place told me when they say a number it holds they are counting the driver and front passenger seat.

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
even though 4 of the passengers are little ones?Hmm I guess you're right. Darnit, I guess this leaves out Camelot limos, they don't have a 12 passenger.
Oh well!!
Thanks everyone!

Unless you do 2 limos - one for you two (bride and groom) and the other limo for the wedding party.

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
you'll need a 12-14 passenger car. anytime you hear the # a limo holds...subtract 2 people at least. (they include the driver and up front passenger seat in the # that holds the limo capacity!

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
I'd go bigger. You need space for dresses and BoKs. You don't think about it until you actually do it.

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
a 10 person limo will fit only 8 people. The extra two people are the driver and passeneger.

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
Unfortunately a 10 person limo will be too small. The limo companies count the 2 seats in the front as people so in other words, a 10 person fits 8 in the back... etc.

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
No I can tell you from personal eperience that trying to fit 10 people into a 10 person limo is going to be tight!A 14 person is good though! Your going to need a little extra room for the the dresses and whatnot!

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
DEFINITELY go bigger! We had a 14 passenger Magnum for my Bach party, and only 6 girls were in the limo. We couldn't BELIEVE it was supposed to fit 8 more people! Supposedly they count the front passenger seat as a 'passenger' option. I would say a 14 really means 11, comfortably! 12 really means 9, etc.

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
The only way I think it might be close to possible, is if you have atleast 2 of the little ones sitting on laps.....but if not....definitely go bigger....

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
10 is fine since you got some younger ppl, i had a 8 passenger limo for my all adult wedding party and it was fine.honestly dont' need to spend the money unless you have a longer than 30 min. drive and u really want them to be comfortable....

Re: 10 person BP - will a 10 passenger limo work?
when they say 10 person limo that is including the 2 front seats where the driver sits and where no one else wants to sit! SO always subtract 2 from that number! you should go to see it!Welcome New Vendors
