Need advice on getting a limo for the bridal party and us (bride and groom):

Our condo, the ceremony venue, the place we're taking photos, and the reception venue are all within 2.5km of each other. All in the downtown Toronto core.

Condo to ceremony - 11 mins drive
Ceremony to picture spot - 10 mins drive
Picture spot to reception - 10 mins drive

Is it worth getting a limo for these short commutes? What are other alternatives?

For the wedding I was just in, the bride booked an Uber Premiere which is available in select cities. The cars have to be a certain level of fancy to do it and you can preschedule.

We had similar length drives. We decided to rent a Mercedes van for two hours. The driver had downtime while we took photos. The inside of the van looked just like a limo but it was a fraction of the price.

Yes. Our getting ready, photos and ceremony were within a 10 minute walk. We got a bus. You don’t wanna be walking back and forth in your dress, etc and it gives you a place to hang out while waiting for the ceremony to start

This was me and 100 percent yes

I personally am not and wouldn't bother with a limo. Also in Toronto. If you are, keep in mind that it can be difficult for limos to turn on some streets downtown so they may take even longer to go another route that can accommodate the longer car. Personally this would bother me.

Hi, weird question for this forum, so I apologize. I’m trying to be creative here and use the tv stand that I have. The issue is that it has an open back so you can see all my tv wires. I can’t hide the wires because my building won’t let me open the wall. My idea was to slip a tile sheet that is wall behind the tv stand as a back, but I need the tile cut to the specific heigh and width of the tv stand. Does anyone know where I can take this tile sheet to get cut to the specific measurements?

We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.
