We'd suggest you make the following lists to work out your requirements.

1. Anyone needing transport to the wedding venue for the bride's house.
2. Anyone needing transport to the wedding venue from any other location.
3. Anyone needing to go from the wedding to the reception and any stop en route for photos.
4. Bride and groom getaway transport.
5. Evening taxis home for your guests.

Every bride wants to arrive at the church in style. After all, it’s you they will all be waiting to see, and there will be a lot of cameras clicking as you get out of the car. This means that your wedding car is going to be seen in a lot of your wedding photographs.

So, you can go for something stylish and executive – how about a new luxury vehicle, with a suited chauffeur and optional white ribbons?  Your car will have been freshly valeted, inside and out, that morning, immediately prior to coming to collect you.

We could also use our luxury vehicles to transport your bridesmaids and mother. Remember, they will need to be at the church before you, so their arrival in a chauffeur driven vehicle will set the tone and the style of your wedding.

Our wedding chauffeurs will be in a suit and tie.  It would also be safe to assume that a classic old wedding car will be driven by a uniformed chauffeur, complete with cap. But it never hurts to check these things, so you could very discreetly ask before you make your booking.

That’s a great question! There are a number of factors, including how formal the wedding is, how far it is from the reception, whether you have a stop off en route for photographs and how many guests are invited. But a good rule of thumb is to allow 3-5% of your wedding budget on transport.
