If the search that brought you here had the word limousine in it, the honest answer comes first. SOIT has no stretch limousine. What it has for wedding car hire in Tbilisi is four cars, and this piece covers which car suits which part of the day, how the day itself is usually planned, and how the price is agreed.
Weddings here are not a niche. Geostat counted 21,653 marriages registered in Georgia in 2024, 6,487 of them in Tbilisi. Many of them come with a day that has several addresses, more people than seats, and a timetable that holds only if someone writes it down.
Wedding car hire in Tbilisi without a limousine
The four cars are a Mercedes-Benz V-Class for up to seven guests, an S-Class for up to three, and two Mercedes-Maybachs, the W223 saloon and the electric EQS 680, for up to three each. None of them is stretched. If a long white car is the photograph you have in mind, book it from someone who runs one. We would rather say that here than in a reply to your email.
Which car for which part of the day
A wedding with more than one car usually needs a mix rather than a matching set.
The couple: a Maybach. Either Maybach takes up to three guests, which in practice means the couple in the back and one more person in front. The W223 saloon has a wheelbase 18 centimetres longer than the long-wheelbase S-Class, and Mercedes-Benz’s launch release for the car puts all of it into the rear compartment, which is where a long dress needs the room; the piece on the Maybach’s rear seat has the detail.
The saloon is the lower car, and the better one for a slow arrival where the photograph matters. The EQS 680 is an SUV, so getting in and out is a different movement. For a bride in a full skirt, that matters; a side-by-side of the two Maybachs compares them.
Parents, grandparents or the bridal party: the V-Class. Seven guests in one car means the family arrives together, not in pieces, at an entrance where everyone else is already waiting. When the seven-seat car is the right answer is usually a question of people and luggage. At a wedding it is mostly people.
Guests of honour: the S-Class. Up to three guests, for the people you would not want standing at a kerb: an older relative, the witnesses, a godparent who has flown in for the day.
All four, with their capacities, are on the fleet page. The rates printed there are for ordinary hourly, day and airport hire; a wedding is priced differently.
How the day usually runs
Write the addresses down in order before thinking about cars. A typical day has four kinds of stop: the home where someone gets ready, the ceremony, the photographs, and the venue. Some days have a civil registration and a church ceremony, which adds a fifth.
Then put a time against each address and a buffer between them. Photographs run long, and the ceremony starts when the church or the registry says, so protect that time and let everything else move.
For each leg, write down who is in which car. The question that decides the most is whether the couple travel separately before the ceremony and together after it, because that can turn one car into two for the first half of the day.
Waiting is the next decision: whether the cars stay at the venue through the dinner or leave and come back for the end of the evening. Write it down, because the hours depend on it.
The evening return is the leg that is easiest to forget. If the grandparents will leave hours before the couple, that run home is better booked than arranged by phone at eleven at night.
If the photographs are in the old town, plan them on foot, with the car dropping at one end of the old-town walk from Anchiskhati to Sioni and collecting at the other. For relatives staying in hotels, give the street address rather than the hotel name, and say which entrance; arriving at Tbilisi’s hotels by car shows how much that varies. For relatives flying in, an ordinary airport transfer is a fixed fare per car.
If the day includes a civil registration
A church ceremony, if there is one, is arranged with the church. The legal registration is handled by the Public Service Development Agency, which sits under the Ministry of Justice, and its page on marriage registration sets out the rules. Marriages are registered at a Wedding House, a Public Service Hall branch or one of the agency’s territorial offices. Both partners must be at least 18, and registration through a representative is not permitted, so both must be there in person. Two adult witnesses must attend with their identity documents, which makes them passengers in the car plan too. Without the special ceremony, registration at the agency’s offices and at Public Service Hall branches is free.
For foreign partners, the same page adds three points. A foreign passport can be accepted without a Georgian translation if it shows the personal data in Latin letters. Any other foreign document, such as proof that a previous marriage has ended, must be legalised or apostilled and come with a notarised Georgian translation. And a foreign citizen must show a document proving they are in Georgia legally.
How the price is agreed
A wedding is not priced off the hourly table. The price is agreed per wedding, from the plan you send: the hours, the number of cars and the date. It is confirmed in writing before the day, so nobody negotiates anything at a kerb in a suit.
The hours come from the plan above: how early the first pickup is, whether the cars wait through the dinner, and how late the last run home leaves. The number of cars comes from the passenger list. The date is the one part that usually cannot move, which is why it is worth sending first.
Not every part of a wedding needs a chauffeur. Moving a hundred guests from the ceremony to the venue is a job for a hired coach or minibus. A guest going home at midnight can take a taxi. The chauffeured cars belong where the arrival is the point: the couple, the parents, and the few people who should never be left waiting.
What to put in the brief
Everything above goes in one message: the date, the addresses in order with times, the passenger list for each leg, the waiting plan and the last run home. It is the same discipline as the booking brief for any other trip, with more stops.
If you want ribbons, flowers or any other decoration on the cars, raise it in the brief, so the answer is settled in writing before the morning rather than on it.
And say plainly that it is a wedding, even when the addresses make it obvious. What a chauffeur actually does on the day depends on knowing what the day is for.
Send the date and the plan to booking@soitblack.com, or through the booking form, and the price comes back in writing before anything is confirmed.
