Special occasion car service in New Orleans: weddings, anniversaries and galas
Weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays and galas, and why a Maybach, an Escalade or a Sprinter now does what the stretch limousine used to.
When people book a car for a special occasion in New Orleans, they're planning something that matters.
A wedding, an anniversary dinner, a fortieth birthday, a gala. What they want is an arrival that feels like an occasion, a ride everyone can share, and a chauffeur they don't have to think about. That's exactly what we provide, in the vehicles that do it best today.
01 A note on limousines
To be clear from the start: we don't operate stretch limousines. Our fleet is the Mercedes-Maybach, BMW 760i, Cadillac Escalade, Escalade IQ and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans.
That's a deliberate choice. A Maybach makes a more elegant arrival for a couple than a stretch ever did. An Escalade carries six in real comfort. A Sprinter seats up to 14 with room to stand, which a stretch can't offer, and it fits the narrow streets of the French Quarter and Garden District far better. If you've been searching for "limo service," these are the vehicles to look at.
