Wedding transportation in Toronto and across Ontario
A car for the couple, vehicles for the family and the wedding party, and a shuttle for the guests, each with its own chauffeur and all on one plan.
Plan your wedding carsThe 4-hour wedding package from $677.95 in an Executive Class car, HST included. All fares
These are approximate fares, HST included, to help you plan. Your exact fare depends on your own pickup, the hours you book, the date and options, and is always shown before you pay. To see your exact price, search your trip.
On a wedding day the transport has one job: nobody should have to think about it. Maplebridge provides the vehicles and the chauffeurs, agrees the timings with you beforehand, and keeps every car with its passengers until the last drop-off.
Wedding bookings are hourly, as-directed service. Instead of a series of separate transfers, each vehicle is reserved for a block of hours and goes where the day goes: to the house or the hotel, to the ceremony, on to the photographs, to the reception and home. That is what lets the plan bend when a ceremony starts late or the photographs run long. We do this for weddings in Toronto, around the Greater Toronto Area and elsewhere in Ontario, and any wedding with its pickup or drop-off in Ontario can be booked online.
Who travels in what
You choose a vehicle class for each group of people, and we assign vehicles of that class.
The couple: First Class
A flagship sedan, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class or the BMW 7 Series, with seats for up to three. It is the car that arrives at the ceremony and the one waiting at the end of the night.
Parents, grandparents and attendants: Executive Van / SUV
A Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator carries up to five passengers with five bags. One or two of them move the immediate family and the wedding party comfortably, with space for overnight bags, garment bags and the things that have to get to the venue.
The wedding party or the guests: Executive Sprinter
A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for six to fourteen passengers, booked by the hour only. It keeps a wedding party together between locations, or it works as the guest shuttle between the hotel and the venue. Capacities for every class are on the fleet page, and groups in general are covered on the group transportation page.
Hours, distance and what is included
Every wedding vehicle is booked for a minimum of two hours, and each booked hour includes 40 km of driving. The allowance belongs to the whole engagement, so a four-hour booking has 160 km to use however the day requires, whether that is one long drive to a venue in the country or several short ones around the city. Waiting is part of the hours you have booked: while you are in the ceremony or at dinner, the chauffeur is with the car, close by.
If the day runs past the hours booked, the chauffeur stays. The additional time is billed at the hourly rate for the vehicle class in fifteen-minute increments, and distance beyond the allowance is billed per kilometre at the rate for the class; both are set out in clause 4 of our Terms of Service, and neither is applied without the record behind it. The fare itself is fixed in Canadian dollars and shown with its tax before you pay. No gratuity is charged or expected.
A planning timeline
- Once the date and the venues are fixed, book. A day that needs several vehicles takes more arranging than a single car, and the earlier we have it, the more choice of vehicles there is. Booking fixes the fare.
- As the plan firms up, send the running order. Addresses for every stop, the time each group needs to be collected, how many people travel in each vehicle, and where the photographs will be taken. Add a contact on the day who is not one of the couple.
- Before the day, dispatch confirms it in writing. Which vehicle collects whom, where each one waits between stops, and each chauffeur's name and number. One point of contact at dispatch is yours for the day.
- On the day, the chauffeurs arrive early. Dispatch watches the timings. If something slips, you tell one person and every vehicle is adjusted.
Changes are simple while there is time: in your account you can send a change request up to 24 hours before pickup, and dispatch confirms or declines it. After that, call +1 (888) 627-5313. Cancelling more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup costs nothing.
Guest shuttles, and guests from out of town
When the ceremony, the reception and the hotel are in different places, a Sprinter booked by the hour runs between them so that no guest drives. How many round trips it makes depends on the distance and on the hours booked; give us the addresses and the guest numbers and dispatch will work out with you whether one vehicle is enough.
Guests flying in are collected as ordinary airport transfers. Each airport pickup includes 60 minutes of complimentary waiting from the moment the aircraft lands and a curbside meet and greet with a name sign; give us the flight numbers and dispatch checks the arrival times. The airports we serve are listed on the airports page.
Decorations, and the small things
Decorations: ask us. We have no published rule on dressing a car, so tell us what you would like and we will confirm it before the day. Drinks: alcohol is not consumed in the vehicle unless that has been arranged with us in advance. Children: note each child's age and weight when you book; child seat availability varies, and we confirm before the day. In every vehicle: bottled water and phone charging cables, and no smoking or vaping.
Proms, anniversaries, milestone birthdays and other celebrations are on the weddings and events page. To start a wedding booking, use the wedding booking form for a single vehicle (four hours or more), or send us the date and the venues for a day with several. The four-hour wedding package and its fare by class are on Fares & policies.
Questions couples ask about wedding cars
Which vehicle is right for the couple?
First Class: a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class or a BMW 7 Series. It seats up to three passengers, which leaves room for the dress and the bouquet. You book the class rather than a specific model; if a model matters to you, say so when you book and we will tell you what can be done.
How many hours should we book?
Count from the first pickup to the last drop-off, including the time the car spends waiting during the ceremony and the photographs. The minimum is two hours. If the day runs over, the extra time is billed at the hourly rate for the vehicle class in fifteen-minute increments, as clause 4.3 of our Terms sets out, so you are never rushed out of the car.
Is the driving distance included?
Yes, up to 40 km for every booked hour: 160 km on a four-hour booking, for example. The allowance applies to the engagement as a whole, not to each hour separately. Distance beyond it is billed per kilometre at the rate for the vehicle class, as clause 4.4 of our Terms sets out.
Can you shuttle guests between the hotel and the venue?
Yes. An Executive Sprinter carries six to fourteen passengers and is booked by the hour, so it can run back and forth between the hotel, the ceremony and the reception for as long as it is booked. For more than fourteen guests at once we book more than one vehicle and dispatch runs them as one movement.
Can we decorate the car?
Ask us. Our Terms have no rule on decorations, so tell us what you have in mind, such as ribbons, flowers or a sign, when you book or when you send the running order, and dispatch will confirm what the vehicle can take.
Can we have a drink in the car?
Only if it is arranged with us in advance: alcohol is not consumed in the vehicle otherwise, and there is no smoking or vaping in any vehicle. Bottled water and phone charging cables are provided.
What do you need from us before the day?
The running order: every pickup and drop-off address, the times, who travels in which vehicle, any photograph stops, and a phone number for someone other than the couple. Dispatch confirms it back to you in writing with the chauffeurs' names and numbers.
What if the plans change, or the wedding is postponed?
In your account you can send a change request up to 24 hours before pickup, and dispatch confirms or declines it; after that, call dispatch. Cancelling more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup costs nothing; closer to the time the charges in clause 5.1 of our Terms apply.
