July is our busiest month, and has been for as long as we’ve been doing this. Roughly four in ten UK weddings happen across June, July and August, which means every couple marrying this summer is competing for the same small pool of luxury wedding cars, good chauffeurs and good Saturdays.
The cars couples actually want go first
The Rolls-Royce Phantom, the Ghost, the Bentley Flying Spur. These get booked a year or more ahead for peak summer Saturdays, whether the wedding’s in central London or out in the Surrey and Kent countryside, or somewhere in between in Essex, Hertfordshire, Berkshire or Hampshire. If you haven’t sorted your wedding car hire yet for a summer date, you’re not early. You’re already in a queue.
There’s usually a second car nobody’s thought about
Couples plan the bridal car, then realise closer to the date that bridesmaids, parents or the groom’s side need transport too. A Mercedes V-Class sorts that in the same conversation, rather than a separate scramble a fortnight before the wedding.
We get the panicked calls too
Most summers, at least one couple calls us after being let down by another company, sometimes the night before. It’s not how we’d want anyone to find us, but it’s why our chauffeurs (regulars tend to ask for Andy or Michael by name) have a reputation for turning up early, in a spotless car, no matter how the booking came about.
Plans change
Postponed dates happen more than people let on, and it doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. If your date’s moved, or might, it’s worth talking to us early rather than assuming the booking’s gone. We’d rather adjust around a couple than treat a reschedule as a lost customer.
Every wedding looks different, and that’s the point
Church weddings, civil partnerships, same-sex weddings, large Asian wedding parties across Hindu, Sikh and Muslim ceremonies. The traditions and the itinerary change from wedding to wedding. What doesn’t change is the car turning up on time, in the colour scheme you asked for, with a driver who already knows the route.
Classic, modern, or both
Some couples want the Beauford convertible outside the church for photos, then something modern for the evening. Others want the Phantom for the whole day. Either way, ribbons are included in whatever colour you’ve chosen.
If your wedding’s already booked for this summer and the car’s still sitting on your “sort it later” list, later is now. Get in touch about wedding car hire for your date and we’ll tell you straight what’s still available.
