  • Find Out Why This Brides Wedding Vehicle Is Going Viral

    Image of a Wedding SignThis bride’s story is going viral after she ends up with a unique wedding transportation. Every bride pictures her wedding day as being a perfect evening to remember with absolutely no hick ups. We would be in a fantasy world if we lived under the assumption that everything went as planned all the time. For this bride, she truly took the saying “turning lemons into lemonade” to a whole other meaning.

    Connecticut Limousine

    Image of a Cop Car Wedding TransportationFor Kelly Bushey Walker, her idea of having a luxurious limo transport her to where her life will forever change was a vision of the past. She was in fear when she realized that the limos air conditioning and windows already were out of order but then her scared turned into a nightmare when the limousine broke down just 30 miles from where she was scheduled to say “I do”. Every bride looks for that moment when the wedding guests see you for the first time in amazement. That moment seemed like it was being ripped away from Mrs. Walker until help soon arrived.

    Deputy Taylor East, of the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, showed up to find out what the problem was and he spotted the stranded bride. Mrs. Walker asked the deputy if he could drive her to the chapel so that none of the guests will see her before the ceremony. “Deputy East made me feel at ease and assured me I would make it to my wedding,” Walker said. “I forgot all of my worries once I was in his car. My sister and maid of honor also came along for the ride.” Mrs. Walker stated that she is one for always planning ahead but was completely out of her element when things did not go as planned. Although Mrs. Walker was left having to reroute her trip to the chapel, she admits that this will be a memory that she will be able to talk about for years to come and she can’t help but laugh. “My wedding day was the best day of my life, even with the ups and downs. I couldn’t have had more fun.”

  • Traveling With The Little Ones With A CT Limousine

    Picture of child in suitcase

    Summer is finally here in Connecticut and the visions of snowy front yards are just a memory now. With the warmth of summer comes the thoughts of vacationing. The kids are out of school and you’ve been saving all those sick days for your annual summer vacation but this year is a bit different. This year you are thinking big, you are thinking jumping on an airplane and going further than you ever have. Everyone is so excited then you realize that you will be taking your very young child on their very first airplane ride.  Many parents dread this and often forget essentials and pack things that are not necessary. Limousines of Connecticut are experts in traveling with children of all ages and we are ready not only to drive the family to the airport but to help you pack correctly for your trip! Get limousine in Connecticut for a great rate!

    Pack Wise with Limousines of Connecticut

    Limousines of Connecticut realizes that sometimes we overthink our trips and in fear of forgetting things, we pack everything and it never fails, something always stays behind. Take a minute to look over our checklist to make sure your little ones have everything they need for their very first airplane ride!

    • Diaper or change in under clothes- We might think that there is no way we will forget the diapers but you will be surprised what we forget when everyone is waiting for you to get in the car to head to the airport.
    • Changing pad- Airports and airplanes don’t receive any kind of cleanliness awards for their bathrooms, so please don’t forget a changing pad for your baby.
    • The cleanup crew- Always remember to bring wipes, diaper rash creams, hand sanitizers and tissues not only to clean up a baby bum but any spills or spit ups that will most likely happen on that three-hour flight.
    • Baby food- You will definitely be sorry if you forget your baby’s favorite baby food. Don’t rely on the stores near your destination, they may not have that particular flavor or brand and you may find yourself in the situation where you just can’t get to the store at the time your baby is screaming for lunch. This applies for breast pumps, formula, toddler snacks, and juices.
    • Extra bottles- You never know when your little one is gonna throw out their bottle or sippy cup when you aren’t looking. Always have a backup! This includes pacifiers as well.
    • Extra clothes- We all know that your little ones probably have a whole checked bag that is dedicated just to them but make sure you have a few changes of clothes for the airport and the flight.
    • Stroller- Don’t underestimate your stroller. It is always better to have at least a smaller, collapsible stroller than having nothing at all. You will be surprised how in handy they come. Most airlines allow you to check them at no fee or even carry them in the captain’s compartment for no fees.
    • First Aid kit- Even if your child is not sick when it’s time to leave, you never know what germs they may pick up from that dirty and cramped airport.
    • Finally- Snacks for the parents are crucial! You need to stay fueled as well!

  • Packing Tips For Your Cruise Vacation

    Image of Packing For A CruiseIt is always an exciting time to be able to get away from the everyday life and enjoy a nice relaxing time away from home. Once you get to your destination, you can have some time to yourself and do absolutely nothing. It is making sure that you pack all of your necessities that can be the stressful part. Take off some of your stress with some of our great packing tips as well as a door to door chauffeured ride from CT to the Cape Liberty Cruise Port.

    Top Tips On Packing For Your Cruise Get Away

    There are many things that you use in everyday life that you might not even think about packing. Then when you get to your vacation destination, you’re stuck having to pay tourist prices for simple objects such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. Limousines of Connecticut can not only get you to your cruise, but we also offer you valuable advice on how to pack for your cruise vacation without over packing. Whether you are an under packer or an over packer, we can show you how to find the balance and gain some great packing skills for future vacations as well.

    • Image of people Boarding A Cruise ShipThe number one key is to not start packing at the last minute. When you pack at the last minute you might find yourself stressing and trying to think quickly which could cause you to either leave important things behind or bring way too much stuff in a fear of forgetting something. We say by attempting to at least start packing a week before your trip, you can give yourself a good head start and give yourself time to be able to think about what you really need for your trip.
    • Plan your outfits out ahead of time. Go over your itinerary to be able to know what type of outfits you will wear each day. Try on the outfits to see if you like the look and pack only what you will be wearing. Pack the outfit top and bottom together to save you time once you get to your destination. This will save you time and space in your luggage. You can also check with your cruise line to see if they offer self-service laundromats on board as this could save you from having to pack a ton of clothing.
    • Pack your bathroom necessities. This is something you will likely have to do at the last minute unless you have 2 of everything that you use daily to get ready. You can put a sticky note on your suitcase for you to see the day off with a checklist of things to remember to pack.
    • Some other things to think about bringing are over-the-counter meds, batteries, camera memory cards, sunscreen, ear plugs, plastic bags for transporting liquids or wet things and chargers for your electronics

  • Regional Business Challenge is Conquered by Stamford Students

    stamford-student-imageNew York City will get to have the presence of four dedicated Stamford local high school students this fall as they participate in the national business competition.

    And The Winner of The Regional Business Challenge is…….

    Taking first place in the Fairfield County Regional Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge was Dylan Martin, a student at the Academy of Information Technology and Engineering. He flawlessly presented his Mill Brook Honey plan, which is a small local business that farms its own natural honey.

    Runner up was a group of three Westhill High School students who amazed the judges with their Sole Mate product. This product is a shower mat that is designed to help a range of people, mainly those with limited mobility, in the efforts to clean their feet without losing their balance.

  • Sikorsky Airport Runway Project is Continuing in June

    sikosky-airport-imageThis well anticipated project was supposed to open a new era of air travel at Sikorsky Memorial Airport.

    The safety upgrades have been stalled for months at the Stratford-based, Bridgeport-owned Sikorsky airport due to an ongoing federal review prompted by a contractor’s oversight and worsened by airport management problems.

    Money Lost for Sikorsky Airport

    One city official stated that this airport already operates at a $500,000 yearly loss, with its primary runway out of service for the past eight months. This airport only has two runways to begin with.

    airport-construction-image “This is a $43 million project,” said David Faile, president of the Friends of Sikorsky organization. “And all we have to show for it right now is (nearby) Main Street has been rebuilt (and) they rehabilitated a bunch of marshlands and wetlands, so we have turtle breeding grounds.

    John Ricci, who oversees Sikorsky as the new head of Bridgeport’s public facilities department, is in hopes that the Federal Aviation Administration’s work stoppage order issued last Labor Day weekend will be lifted by June 6. Ricci assured us that he will do everything in his power to get this airport back as to bring convenience to its neighboring residents.

    The targeted work amount is currently 65 days with no more bumps in the road.

    Importance for upgrades at Sikorsky

    Wondering what the need for the safety upgrades at the Sikorsky Airport were? The safety work was drawn by the death of eight people in a 1994 plane crash.

    There were many complications involved in this long drawn out project. Much time and preparation went into effect before the actual project began in 2014. Some of the main issues included the realignment of nearby Route 113 — Main Street — in Stratford to install a bed of concrete-like material designed to decelerate aircraft that overshoots the runway. Also in need were an entailed runway reconstruction, an upgraded drainage system and removal of hazardous waste.

    Sikorsky sees some major bumps in the road

    The project was briefly halted on more than one occasion. First, last June after a construction worker was killed when the gas-powered saw he was using kicked back and struck him in the neck. Then another contractor, over Labor Day weekend, allegedly drove a truck through an area where planes taxi. No one was in danger, but the so-called incursion alarmed the FAA. At that point, the main work left was the runway reconstruction.

    With further investigation they found a number of items that were out of order including poor records for maintenance, inspection and training. He said the FAA also wanted some physical improvements to the airport, with better security among them.

    One thing is for sure. While waiting on this airport to be ready for business, you can always count on a Stratford limo for your transportation needs.

     

  • New York Limousine Company In Trouble For Withholding Tips

    Foul Foreplay From Bad Limousine Company

    Every driver should be compensated appropriately, that is why we at Limousines of Connecticut focus on finding the right drivers and go through a screening process, just to make sure everyone from customer, driver and company are taking care of in every way. When you don’t play or pay professionally you always get caught and rightfully so. Money can be a controlling thing and one that people have to learn, especially in business, that it can make or break you – so get it together. Action News 12 disposes that Attorney General Eric Schneiderman claimed a long overdue settlement to resolve the investigation of a Coachmaster limo service in Endicott for failing to pay tips to drivers.

    “Making New York more affordable for the middle class starts with standing up for workers,” said Attorney General Schneiderman. “Employers must not take any portion of their employees’ tips. My office will prosecute those who engage in wage theft and fight to protect the hard-earned wages of everyday New Yorkers.”

    Limo Drivers Should Always Be Taken Care Of

    CT airport limousine service image

    Since 2008, the investigation revealed that Coachmaster was blatantly taking the tips for the drivers. Their consumers were asked, while making reservations for their private car or limousine services, if they would like the driver’s gratuity to be included on their final invoice, instead of paying the gratuity directly to the driver at the time of service, which then ultimately leaves it open to stealing. However, not all companies work that way and it is not ethical to do something in this regard and then give other limo companies a bad name. Thus, they learned having to pay BACK $20,000 in restitution and $20,000 in civil penalty, totaling $40,000 all because people try and be greedy.

    When it comes down to it, working with a real and reliable limousine company is very crucial. Do your research and ask questions – you have that right.
