Our cars only ever do one wedding per day. Your car will arrive at the collection address approx 30 minutes before the planned leaving time to get to the ceremony. We will wait whilst you are in the ceremony and the photos are taken before conveying you to the reception. Once you have finished the photos at the reception venue, then the car will leave.
Our cars only ever do one wedding per day. It will never cause a problem if you have to alter timings for the day as they are booked exclusively for you and your wedding. Some companies will try and do 2 or 3 weddings in a day, this is virtually impossible and not recommended
If the house to the ceremony venue are within 10 minutes driving time we can do 2 trips to the church to take bridesmaids there first. However please consider that some of the cars do not travel as fast as a modern car and that on an average 10 minute journey to the church the bridesmaids will be waiting outside the church for nearly half an hour before the bride arrives. The bridesmaids would then need to make their own way onto the reception. We would recommend the use of a second car for longer journeys or if you have lots of bridesmaids or family requiring transport. The Daimlers and Princess Limousines are ideal second cars as they can carry 7 passengers.
In this situation the cars would wait until after the ceremony for any photos that you or your guest would like to do with the cars. We then offer to take the newlyweds for a romantic drive around with a glass of champagne. This can include stopping off for photos out on location before returning to the reception.
This gives you some quality quiet time together, which may be the only time that you spend on your own all day. Many of our couples tell us that this was one of the best parts of the day.
We can provide an evening collection for the newlyweds onto their chosen hotel. The cars generally used for this service are the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, the Daimlers and Princess Limousines and Jaguar S Type as they have the best lights and the biggest boots for luggage. A separate quotation will be provided if this service is required.
Smoking is not allowed in any of the cars.
A complimentary glass of chilled champagne will be provided for the newlyweds. If you require champagne in the second car this can be arranged at an additional charge. All cars also carry bottled mineral water.
All cars carry a minimum of one large white umbrella to keep you dry should it rain.
Our chauffeurs are smartly dressed in charcoal grey suits with matching ties and peaked caps. There is also the option of having the vintage style uniform with the Rolls Royce Open Tourers or Rolls Royce 25/30.
Your chauffeur will be of the utmost assistance to you and your bridal party. Helping you in and out of the car and holding your bouquet, escorting you with an umbrella should it rain, and serving you champagne. They will also liaise with the photographer to enable the best possible shots of the car to be taken.
We always have at least one back up car should we ever have a problem. In the event of a problem before the day of the wedding we would discuss this with yourselves and give you the option of another car. Should the breakdown happen whilst out on your wedding then we would get another wedding car out to you as soon as possible.
Please call 01296 655021 or email us to check availability of your chosen car/s. We will then put a provisional hold on that car for you for up to 7 days and send a booking form out via email or in the post for you to complete and return. Alternatively we will be pleased to arrange an appointment for you to meet with us and view the cars and place your booking then.
A deposit of £100 is required on the Rolls Royces and a £50 deposit on the Princess or Daimler Limousines, Austin DS7 or Jaguar S Type.
Once your booking form and deposit have been received the car/s is then secured and booked for your wedding day.
Once you have finalised a date and reception venue you should then think about booking cars. For summer weddings we generally book up 12 – 18 months in advance although we have taken bookings for 2½ years in advance. Remember the earlier you book the more choice you will have.
All of the cars are owned by us, and they are our pride and joy. Many hours of dedication go into maintaining and keeping the cars immaculate for your special day. You will always get a personal and professional service, and the opportunity to view all of the cars in our showroom. There are many so called wedding car companies out there, who may well advertise lots of cars but actually own none of them. Although we occasionally do work for a handful of reputable wedding car hire agents, we cannot stop other companies from downloading pictures and information from our site and passing our cars off as their own. Please contact us if you have any queries.
Due to the age of the majority of the cars that we operate most of them do not have seat belts fitted. Children 3 years and over can travel without a child seat in the rear of the car as long as they are accompanied by a responsible adult and we have parental/ guardian consent. The Daimlers have a front passengers seatbelt, the Jaguar S type has seatbelts front and rear, so can accommodate child seats. We would need to be advised of this in advance and you will be responsible for ensuring that all seats are fitted correctly into the car.
