Arizona Wedding Limos

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Arizona is a great location for Weddings, and the peak season is upon us. From the months of March, April, May & June wedding season is in full swing.

 

If you are looking for a wedding limo or party bus in Arizona you need to know a couple of things.

  1. Book your party bus or limo early-availability is limited and wedding limos usually get booked months in advance.
  2. Do your homework-check online reviews about the transportation company you are considering for your Arizona wedding.
  3. Shop around-call several limousine companies in Arizona and get a median price, then follow step 2 to help make your decision.
  4. Bachelor/ette parties-ask if there are any discounts for using the same limousine or party bus company for the bachelor and bachlorette parties in Arizona as well.

Quinceanera Party Bus Limos

Quinceanera Party Buses

 Joe and I presented some of our Party Buses at a Quinceanera Show at the Las Brisas Banquet Hall at 43rd Ave. & Peoria this past Sunday. I have to say it went really well. There were hundreds of girls planning their Quinceanera and looking for photographers, dresses, salons and you guessed it Party Buses and Limos for Quinceaneras.

Frankies Valentines

Frankies ManyValentines

 

I wanted to take this blog and tell you about all the special ladies in my life. I am a lucky guy because I have always had beautiful woman in my life. Their beauty is not just on the outside but they are all beautiful on the inside as well.

 

My two daughters, every father knows how special your daughters are. I know the are going to drive me nuts as they get older but they do have two older brothers who are trained killers to do Dads light work when the boys come a knockin!

 

My Mother-In-Law, I got lucky with mine I know some guys that have horror stories but I got lucky. My Mother-In-Law is a special lady and I know I don’t always give her the credit she deserves for all the helps she gives my family and I. So Mom, thank you from your favorite Son-In-Law (I am her only Son-In-Law).

 

Onto My mother, the woman who put up with a lot over the years but she never gave up on her oldest and best looking son. During those times when you are growing up and dealing with things and looking for some guidance my Mom always had a commonly known phrase or saying. The only problem was it always came out wrong!

 

For example: “The early bird gets the worm” came out “The early bird eats first?”

 

Or my favorite: “The squeaky wheel get the oil” came out “The squeaky oil gets the wheel?”

 

The funniest part is I don’t think she has said either of those the correct way, EVER.

Mom, Happy Valentines Day I love you.

 

Finally my wife, I mean it when I say I married up. My wife is a beautiful woman and if you know me at all I always joke about how I am my Mom’s best looking son but if you know me you know my beauty lies on the inside.

 

This business is difficult and she has dealt with it like a pro. I mean it when I say that I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. I actually told a friend and I quote “She will be mine oh yes she will be mine” He laughed but who’s laughin now baby!

 

Maria, you are my love, thank you.

 

Well those are my ladies and yes I know I will catch some crap for getting so sappy but hey they deserve to know how much they mean to me so in advance of all the crap I will be receiving from friends I say this sincerely: I wish you could be so lucky.

 

Happy Valentines Day

 

Hey look at that, I didn’t mention Limos or Party Buses in Phoenix one time the whole blog.

Limos: Prime Season Planning

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Planning to get a limo for an event this spring? In Arizona springtime is prime season for limo companies. With all of the weddings the spring brings there are tons of Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties that need limo service as well. Throw in every Prom sucking up every limo and limo bus in the Phoenix area that leads to availability issues for everyone else.

 

I want to give you some advice, if you are planning party bus or limo service during the months of March, April and May do not plan your event on a Saturday Night!

 

You will get limo bus and limo rates at half the price if you just plan your event for a Friday or Thursday, really anytime but Saturday Night during those months.

 

Another bit of advise is be very skeptical of a limo company that would rent you a limo or party bus for what may seem to be a great deal. Every year I get calls on those Saturday Nights from people that got left out in the cold by a limo company that said they had a breakdown or there was a scheduling conflict or sometimes they are very honest and tell them they got more money from another client.

 

In any event they have no limo and no options because every limo and party bus in the Phoenix area is sold out!

 

It happens more than you would think. It’s a lousy situation to be in but I always tell those people that when you called around and everybody quoted you prices that were a lot more then you found this limo guy with a great deal you should’ve known better!

 

If you are reading this don’t be left out in the cold. Platinum Rides is a family owned business and has been a TOP 10 operator for almost that whole time. The truth is we have a great fleet and we work with wonderful people who are all going to do a great job for you.

I Know What Youre Thinkin

Monday, February 1st, 2010

I know what you’re thinking, how the heck do you choose a limo company?

 

They all seem the same right?

 

Great question, here’s the answer:

 

  • Search online
  • Make some phone calls
  • Check reviews
  • If you can, go down and check out the limo or party bus you want to rent.
  • Listen carefully to the person speaking to you about the company, you should feel confident they know what they are doing
  • Make sure the company sends you confirmation of the reservation details

 

It’s not easy choosing the right limo or party bus company the biggest reason it’s hard is most people don’t do it a lot or have never done it. You may have been in a limo before but maybe someone else planned the event and you were just along for the ride.

 

We don’t take for granted that most people don’t know what to ask or how to choose. When you call Platinum Ride Limos & Party Buses we ask you questions and tell you what you should ask.

 

We want you to feel you have made the right choice and be confident that we are going to do a great job for you, cause we are!
