Car Rental For Wedding

Hi all,
I'm getting married at the end of August. I want to rent a car and driver to take just the two of us from the church to the reception site. Being a classic Mercedes lover, I would love to rent a nice classic Benz. But I haven't been able to find anything in the Twin Cities area. I guess I could maybe do a classic non-Benz auto...

Anyone no of a place that does things like this?

Contact the MBUSA National...they'll put in contact with the local Chapter Chair for Minnesota and from there, you might be able to find a car/driver for your little shindig...

Better yet, become a member and you'll already have that information...

BTW, there's a fairly active Chapter in Mpls.. Ask for a John Olson...I believe he's a good one to talk with concerning what you may be looking for...

That reminds me. Last year my boss was telling me how much a limo cost to take his son and a date to the HS prom. I said Pffffft. I would have ushered them around in a Mercedes for half the cost!

I'll tell you what I will do. I will loan you my pristine Clk 320 for the day for a 12 pack of beer. I will even supply the beer cans to string behind the car. Deal?
