For a Sacramento wedding, book the white Rolls-Royce Ghost or the 1954 Bentley R Type for the bride, a 1967 Mustang convertible or a Ferrari California for the getaway, and a white Lincoln or black Escalade limousine for the bridal party. For a grand entrance, the groom can arrive in a Lamborghini Huracán Spyder or a Bentley Continental GT. Here’s each car, who it suits and how to plan the day around Sacramento’s summer heat.

A Sacramento wedding can start at a downtown church, carry on to a vineyard in Lodi or the Sierra foothills, and end with a getaway down a tree-lined lane. The car you choose does more than get you there. It’s in the first photo of the bride stepping out, the last one of the two of you driving away, and plenty of the moments in between. We’re headquartered just up the road in Roseville, so these are our home-town picks: the best cars for a wedding in Sacramento, from a white Rolls-Royce and a 1950s Bentley to limousines for the bridal party and supercars for a grand entrance.
We’ve been picky. Every car below is chauffeur-driven, has its own page with real photos of the actual car, and covers Sacramento. The local cars come first, and the last few cover Sacramento from a little further out. If it’s a vintage Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud you’re after, our guide to the classic and vintage wedding cars in Sacramento has ten of them, along with the city’s best photo spots.

For the bride: a modern Rolls-Royce or a 1950s Bentley
The bride’s car has the most important job of the day: getting her to the ceremony calm, cool and with her dress uncrushed, then letting her step out in front of everyone. These two do it best around Sacramento.
1. White Rolls-Royce Ghost: the modern classic
Rolls-Royce launched the Ghost in 2009 as a smaller, more modern sibling to the Phantom, and this white one is a 2015, from the Series II update. Its rear doors are hinged at the back, coach-style, so the bride steps out facing her guests instead of squeezing past a door pillar, and her train comes out with her. Umbrellas are tucked into the doors for a rainy winter wedding, and the cabin is hushed and air-conditioned, which counts for a lot in a Sacramento summer.
It seats up to three, so the bride can ride with her father and her maid of honor, and it’s just as good for the drive to the reception as a couple. If you love the idea of a Rolls-Royce but want air conditioning and a smooth modern ride, this is the one to book. For more of the marque, see our top 10 Rolls-Royce wedding cars or every Rolls-Royce you can rent in Sacramento.
Best for: a summer bride who wants the Spirit of Ecstasy and air conditioning.
2. White 1954 Bentley R Type: vintage romance
Bentley built the R Type at Crewe, England, from 1952 to 1955 as the successor to the Mark VI, and the big change was a larger trunk. Everything else is pure early-fifties Bentley: a tall chrome grille, sweeping fenders, chrome lamps and wide whitewall tires. In white, it looks as if it was made to stand next to a wedding dress.
This is the car to book if your photos matter as much as the ride. Its page is full of real wedding-day pictures of the car itself: a couple by a barn and wine barrels, another under tall pines, the car framed through a venue’s arched windows. What you see there is the car that turns up. It seats up to three, and with a chauffeur at the wheel the bride can sit back while the photographer gets the shot of her stepping out. Cars of the early fifties weren’t built with air conditioning, so on a July afternoon keep the drives short and save the long photo session for the cooler golden hour. Our 1950s cars guide has more from the decade, and you’ll find every classic car you can rent in Sacramento on one page.
Best for: vintage-loving brides, barn and vineyard venues, and the photographer.
The getaway car: drive off with the top down
The getaway is the last big moment of the night: sparklers, cheers, a “Just Married” sign and the two of you pulling away. Our guide to the wedding getaway car covers the traditions. These are the two we’d pick around Sacramento, and both carry the bride and groom together, with a chauffeur at the wheel.
3. 1967 Ford Mustang convertible: the classic getaway
1967 was the year Ford gave the Mustang its first redesign: longer, wider and with room under the hood for a big-block V8. It was also the first year the convertible’s rear window was glass that folded down with the roof. Almost sixty years on, it’s as American as a getaway car gets, and with the top down on a warm evening it makes some of the best send-off photos there are.
It seats two passengers, which is exactly the bride and groom. Book it for the last hour of the night, when the Delta breeze has cooled Sacramento down and the top can come off. Ask before you tie on cans: on a classic, the chauffeur will know where they can go without marking the paint. More drop tops are in our best convertible wedding cars and our 1960s cars guide.
Best for: the getaway, a summer evening and a classic for just the two of you.
4. Yellow Ferrari California convertible: the modern getaway
Ferrari launched the California in 2008, and it broke new ground for the company: its first front-engined V8 and its first folding metal hardtop. That roof is what makes it such a good wedding car. Down, it’s an open Ferrari for the photos. Up, it’s a snug coupe if the evening turns cool or wet, and it folds in about 14 seconds.
It seats up to three passengers with the chauffeur driving, so the bride and groom ride off together. Yellow isn’t a traditional wedding color, which is exactly why it looks so good next to a white dress and a dark suit. It covers wine country as well as Sacramento, so it works for a vineyard wedding in Napa or Sonoma too.
Best for: a modern couple, a bold color and a roof that copes with any weather.
For the bridal party: white and black limousines
Once the bride’s car is booked, the next question is how everyone else gets there together. A limousine keeps the bridesmaids or the groomsmen in one place and on time, and gives them their own photos on the way. Both of these cover Sacramento and the towns around it, from Roseville and Rocklin to Folsom, Elk Grove and Davis, and you can see every limo you can rent in Sacramento on one page.
5. White Lincoln Town Car limousine: the classic wedding limo
Ford stopped building the Lincoln Town Car in 2011, but the white Town Car stretch is still the classic wedding limousine. This one seats up to eight, so the bride, her bridesmaids and the flower girl can arrive together, and the LED lighting inside turns the drive into part of the celebration.
White matches the dress and stands out in the photos outside a downtown church or by the Capitol. If you need the limo for both the ceremony and the reception, plan the timings first: limos are booked by the hour with a minimum, and our guide explains why limo minimum hours exist.
Best for: the bride and up to seven bridesmaids.
6. Black Cadillac Escalade limousine: the whole wedding party
The Escalade limousine is the big one: a stretched Cadillac Escalade that seats up to 14, with leather side seating, mood lighting and a lit bar console. Black suits groomsmen in tuxedos, and with fourteen seats the whole wedding party can ride from the ceremony to the reception together, with the bride and groom in their own car ahead.
It covers the foothills too, so it suits a lakeside or hillside venue as well as a downtown one. If your wedding is up the hill, see every limo in Roseville and Folsom.
Best for: groomsmen, a big wedding party or the ride to the reception.
A grand entrance: two supercars, one passenger each
Some grooms, and some brides, want the arrival people talk about all night. These two take one passenger each, with a chauffeur at the wheel, so they’re made for a solo entrance rather than the couple’s getaway. Both cover Sacramento as well as wine country. Pair either one with the bride’s Rolls-Royce or Bentley, as in our his and hers wedding cars.
7. White Lamborghini Huracán Spyder: the showstopper
The Huracán LP610-4 Spyder is Lamborghini’s open-top V10: 610 horsepower, four-wheel drive and a soft top that folds away in 17 seconds. In white with black wheels and red brake calipers, it’s a wedding car in a supercar’s clothes, and nothing announces the groom’s arrival quite like that V10 pulling up outside the venue.
It carries one passenger beside the chauffeur. Book it for the groom’s arrival, the first-look photos or a bride who wants an entrance of her own, then switch to the Mustang or the Ferrari for the getaway. For more supercars, see sports car rental in Sacramento.
Best for: the groom’s entrance, first-look photos and couples who love cars.
8. White Bentley Continental GT convertible: the gentleman’s arrival
The Continental GT is Bentley’s grand tourer, and this white convertible has deep red quilted leather inside. It’s quieter and more elegant than the Lamborghini, the car for a groom who wants to arrive like a film star rather than a race driver, and it looks wonderful with the top down at a vineyard.
Like the Lamborghini, it takes one passenger with the chauffeur, so it’s best for the groom, a father of the bride with a sense of occasion, or a bride arriving on her own. With the Ghost or the R Type for the bride, it makes a matched pair of British cars for the day.
Best for: the groom, an all-white color scheme and vineyard photos.
Parents, grandparents and guests
Don’t forget the people who raised you. A black Cadillac Escalade seats up to six in air-conditioned comfort and covers Sacramento, Davis and Woodland. For guests moving between the ceremony and the reception, a party bus in Sacramento or a wedding guest shuttle keeps everyone together and off the road after the toasts.
How to choose your Sacramento wedding car
- Plan around the heat. Sacramento summers are hot: CBS Sacramento puts the July average high at about 93 degrees. The Ghost and the limos are air-conditioned, so save the classics and the convertibles for the evening, when the Delta breeze comes in.
- Count the seats, and the dress. A full gown takes up a seat of its own. If a car seats three, plan on the bride and one or two others.
- Think about the photos. Decide where you want the car in the pictures, whether that’s the church steps, the vineyard rows or the getaway, and tell your photographer and your chauffeur.
- Mix and match. One car for the bride, a limo for the party and a convertible for the getaway is a classic combination.
- Book early. The best cars go first, especially on Saturdays. Our wedding car cost guide explains what goes into the price.

Questions couples ask
What’s the best wedding car for a Sacramento summer?
A modern, air-conditioned car: the white Rolls-Royce Ghost for the bride, or the Lincoln or Escalade limousine for the party. July in Sacramento averages a high of about 93 degrees, so book classics and convertibles for the cooler evening and the getaway.
Which car is best for the getaway?
The 1967 Mustang convertible, for two passengers, or the yellow Ferrari California, for up to three. Both come with a chauffeur, so the bride and groom ride off together. The Lamborghini and the Bentley Continental GT take one passenger, so they suit a solo entrance better.
How many people fit in a wedding car?
It depends on the car: the Ghost and the Bentley R Type seat up to three, the Mustang two, the Lincoln limousine eight and the Escalade limousine fourteen. A big dress takes up room, so leave the bride some space.
Do these wedding cars come with a chauffeur?
Yes. Every car in this guide is chauffeur-driven, and each car’s page says so.
Can we book more than one car for the wedding?
Yes. Mix a car for the bride, a limo for the wedding party and a convertible for the getaway. Tell us your date and we’ll send you every option that’s free.
And these cars aren’t only for weddings. They’re just as good for proms, anniversaries, corporate events, photo and video shoots, and business launches.
