When should the cars actually move?

Enter the ceremony time, the venues, and the wedding-party count — and get a backward-planned pickup timeline built on standard wedding-day conventions, with the vehicle plan and pickup waves the quote should confirm.

Vehicle plan

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter — single-vehicle plan

  • A wedding party of 8 fits one Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (up to 14 passengers). Group vehicle for teams, wedding parties, and cruise or roadshow luggage loads.
  • The couple's car is a separate vehicle decision — plan it apart from the wedding-party moves and name it in the quote.
Limits
  • The 45-minute pre-ceremony arrival is a planning convention, not a traffic estimate.
  • The 60-90 minute photo block is a planning convention — confirm the real block with your photographer and venue.
  • Every clock time excludes real driving time. Each leg between locations is quoted per route, never estimated by this tool.
  • This timeline is a planning draft, not a dispatch schedule — it does not confirm availability, vehicle assignment, or pickup commitments.
  • Capacities are Artisan Chauffeur & Concierge vehicle-class planning standards. The written quote confirms the assigned vehicle class, exact luggage fit, and whether a second vehicle is the better plan.
§ 02HOW TO USE THE TIMELINE

A timeline draft is a planning skeleton, not a dispatch schedule.

Why the timeline plans backward

A wedding day has one immovable anchor: the ceremony start. Every transportation decision flows backward from it — arrival buffer, photo block, then pickup. Planning forward from a guessed pickup time is how wedding parties end up arriving as the processional music starts.

Why driving time stays out of the tool

Drive time between a getting-ready suite, a ceremony venue, and a reception depends on the actual route, the day of week, and the hour — a Saturday-afternoon crosstown leg is not a number a generic tool should invent. Each leg is quoted per route, and the quoted plan adds the real driving time to these conventions.

What the tool does not do

This builder does not check availability, does not estimate traffic, does not assign vehicles, and does not price the day. It drafts a backward-planned skeleton from standard conventions. The emailed quote confirms the route timings, vehicle classes, wave spacing, and standby plan that turn the draft into a schedule.

Next step

Use the tool output as planning context, then send the itinerary to the concierge team. The quote confirms availability, vehicle class, operator terms, pass-through costs, and the exact plan in writing before confirmation.
