Who We Are

We are a family run business offering a range of luxury chauffeur driven wedding, and Supercars across the South East of England. With over 16 years’ experience performing wedding duties you can trust us to make your big day special. We can tailor a package just for you, including our ‘one venue wedding package’.

With so many weddings taking place at one place it is often said that a car is not needed, although that is not strictly true. Our years of meeting families have taught us that the journey in the car is an important part of the day for father and daughter, as he prepares to give her away. To still provide that experience we can come to the venue 10 mins before the wedding and take a short drive before returning for the ceremony. That way you still get that time together, and you have some nice arrival photos with the car. We can also remain on site and take the newly married couple for a drive too. Combining this service with getting the groom to the wedding works well and can be very cost effective, or consider a Supercar for him to arrive in. There are many possibilities so please get in touch and see how we can tailor a package just for you

“Just a quick note to thank you for your services on our special day last week. I know that Alan was delighted with the car and the whole experience.

He could not praise the car or more importantly your level of customer service enough. The ease of the booking, the payment and the confirmation of timings were all so easy and took a lot of stress out of one element of the day as I just knew that you would arrive on time and deliver as promised.


Ten out of ten all round!”

Important things to consider when choosing your wedding car

The traditional wedding car is normally white and for some only white will do but some others like something a bit different.  However, you need to consider the fact that white cars do not always photograph well when matched with a white or ivory dress.  Silver or darker colours are better in this respect and the car must be immaculately presented as the camera will show every detail.  A dark interior shows off a white wedding dress beautifully in the photos.

It is not just about the size of the dress.  You need to think about entry and exit from the car.  How big is the door opening?  How low is the seat? What is the headroom like?  For many, this will be the first time you have sat down wearing your corset, dress, train and with your hair arrangement in place.  This is even more daunting when trying to get into a car at the same time.

This is a personal choice and for many only a vintage car will do along with all of the period charm.  However, vintage cars are by nature very old and can be temperamental. The older cars don’t even have heaters let alone air conditioning, and brakes on only 2 wheels.   As well as the risk of breakdown on the biggest day of your life, some of the vintage cars lack the space referred to above.  We advise viewing the cars very carefully and not letting the heart rule the head.

If your wedding is in the summer you will need a car with good air conditioning. Chances are that you will be very hot in your dress, so effective air conditioning to prevent makeup runs is essential. Most modern cars have air conditioning these days but if your wedding is in the winter you will also need good heating to keep your exposed shoulders warm.

For many the image of driving along in an open top car looking fantastic on your wedding day is what dreams are made of.  The reality can be quite different though.  If it is summer you will become very hot and your expensive hair arrangement will likely be rather windswept by the time you reach the venue.  If you have the roof raised then you will probably feel quite claustrophobic and nobody will get a good view of you due to the shape of the rear window line. Entry and exit is also made much more difficult by virtue of the fact that all soft top modern cars only have 2 doors.

We have deliberately saved the most important consideration until last. When selecting your car it is imperative that you try and see the actual car and driver who will be driving you on the biggest day of your life. Remember that not only are you trusting them with your wedding but with your life too. Do not simply rely on photographs found on websites and certainly don’t just pick the cheapest. There are too many horror stories of happy couples sending money to people they have never met for cars that don’t even exist. Wedding cars are exempt from all forms of regulation so you need to see the insurance at the very least. If you are unable to view the car then speak to couples who have used them before, or to venues who know them well. Remember, this is the biggest day of your life and the car plays the biggest part of it as it carries you there. Furthermore, the car you choose will be in your wedding photo album for a lifetime, so please make sure it is the right one.

These are some of the main points to consider but if you have any other questions we would love to help.
