Altona Limo Hire

Altona is one of very few places in Melbourne's west where you can be standing on sand ten minutes after leaving a main road. The beach, the pier, Cherry Lake with its walking track — it's a suburb that photographs beautifully without appearing to try, and that fact shapes most of what we're booked for here.

Altona limo hire mostly means weddings taking advantage of the coast. Ceremonies near the foreshore, photographs on the pier as the light goes, then off to a reception with a view of the water. If you've been comparing Altona limos, the question worth asking any operator is who actually turns up on the day. With us it's the owner, every time.

Limo Hire in Altona

Wedding limo hire in Altona is governed by the light more than by distance. Late afternoon on the foreshore is genuinely spectacular, and it lasts about an hour. Which means the timing of your photo stop matters far more in Altona than it does in a suburb where the backdrop is a building that looks the same at two o'clock as it does at six.

We build that into the run rather than treating it as the photographer's problem. If the ceremony finishes at three and the reception starts at six, there is a specific window on the beach worth protecting, and the job is to get you into it rather than have you sitting in traffic while it passes. That occasionally means suggesting you move something else — a receiving line, a longer stop for drinks — and we'd rather raise it a fortnight beforehand than watch the light go from the driver's seat.

The locations themselves are worth knowing. Altona Beach and the pier are the obvious ones. Cherry Lake, particularly along the eastern edge where the reeds catch the low sun, is quieter and often better. Logan Reserve. Altona Homestead for something with more structure to it. And the Truganina Explosives Reserve if your photographer wants somewhere genuinely unusual — the old bluestone magazines make for striking, slightly strange backdrops that don't look like anywhere else in Melbourne.
