Has anybody used this compamy for their wedding cars, if so would you recomend them,
Or could you recomend a good wedding car service in Sheffield or Barnsley.
KittyKasher 27-10-2006, 13:05 I would recommend them as we had them for our wedding this year. The driver ont he day was really nice and the cars are beautiful

Do stars for cars only do limos, as it is a clasic car i am after not a limo, but thanks anyway.
I'm getting married in July next year :banana: I'm after a car that is different from your usual Rolls Royce style. Does anyone know of any cheap wedding car hire places? Because I don't fancy paying over a 1000 for a car that isn't going to cater to my needs! Thanks! :thumbsup:
Claire B 23-02-2007, 19:35 Hi there,
We had a fantastic wedding car, from Ranmoor Vintage Car Hire, 0114 2665600. Eric Staniforth, the owner and one of the drivers is absolutely brilliant, he has two cars, one is a rolls (the exact one that Barbara Windsor bought for her boyfriend ... Eddie/ Ronnie Knight????) The other car is the one we used and is beautiful, a 1927 Franklin Sedan....Straight 6. (of which there are only 3 running)
He has a web-site http://www.ranmoorweddingcars.co.uk
It cost us £175 for approx. 3 hours use. An immaculate and reliable car:thumbsup:
Highly recommended,
Hope this helps:)
Thanks for that, that's a really good price! I'm going to give them a ring and see where it goes from there! Thanks :)
Hi,
Try Cars by MGM in Rotherham,
www.mgmweddingcars.co.uk
We used them for our wedding in sept 05 i think we paid around £250 for two cars for around 3 hours
Good Luck,
Shelley.
trainzfast 23-02-2007, 19:54 we used mgm also very good service and reasonable prices
We had a 1976 Beetle in Old English White. £50, sourced through the sheffield VW club - I e-mailed them to see if any of thier members fancied showing off their hobby and being our chauffeur....Brill!
samlasota 12-05-2007, 22:12 after looking at hiring cars for my wedding day and getting loads of expensive quotes, i got into a black cab the other day and thought how great it would be to go to the church in one. Its got so much space inside for a dress not to get crumpled and you can even get you bridesmaids in for the fraction of the price!:hihi: :hihi:
what does everyone else think.....trying to do my wedding on a budget you see!lol:hihi: :hihi:
Sounds pretty classy actually! They're nicely traditional aren't they...
Perhaps you could ask if they'll do you a favour and stick some ribbon on the cab for you? :lol:
rubydazzler 12-05-2007, 23:11 Maybe you could pre-book a white one, I've seen a couple around the city. I'm sure they'd be willing for you tie your ribbons on the door handles and bonnet.
Hope it all works out the way you want. Happy Wedding Day :)

I just got a silver shadow for my sister in law as her wedding gift and it cost 200 pounds, I thought that was very reasonable...
samlasota 07-10-2007, 21:07 a friend ended up picking me up in his new bettle convertable!!but i would have done the black cab thing lol x
What a brilliant idea!! :) ..I have done many a wedding over the years and have never seen that done.. would make for some fantastic B/W shots :)
I was just wondering what is a reasonable cost for the hire of a wedding car? Can anyone help, please?
I booked one for my sister in laws wedding earlier in the year, it was 250.00.
Gorgeous silver shadow
littlewizzle 09-12-2007, 21:51 help i need a wedding car ,iv phone loads up and there all booked i was very surprised cause my wedding not till next july
rachelina 13-12-2007, 22:49 Have you tried Aristocat weddings? (I can't post the link, but if you type 'Aristocat weddings' into google, it comes up as the first entry.
No personal experience of this company but their website looks good.
Thats who I used for my sister in law, they are excellant xx
Have you tried Ladycroft Classic Cars? I had both cars for my wedding and they were absolutely perfect. The chauffeurs were both lovely and friendly and the cars looked fantastic in the pictures. Here's their site - take a look.

rachelina 17-12-2007, 21:15 I am supposed to be having my father-in-law's car as our wedding car, which is nice enough... but I am very tempted by the ladycroft cars! They look absolutely beautiful. Can you give me an indication of how much they cost please? Thanks xx
Yeah, we had them on the 24th November and it cost us £500 for both. They took the groom from the travel lodge he was staying at the night before, to the church with the best man, then came for me and the Bridesmaids and then, after the service, they took us on to the hotel for the reception.
tepbarnes 05-01-2008, 13:22 Balmoral did the cars for a wedding I shot the other week, I've seen lots of wedding cars and they were without doubt the smartest I've ever seen, the cars were truly immaculate.

We used these for our wedding cars in september 2005, can highly recommend them they were extremley professional, i shopped around and found them to be extremley reasonable.
http://www.mgmweddingcars.co.uk/Welcome.aspx
we had the convertable Daimler and the Pontiac, we paid about 200 for both for a civil Sunday wedding (i think its cheaper for sun).
I have had the pleasure or meeting Dave from 5th Avenue limos (http://www.5th-avenue-limousines.com/index.html) today to book my wedding, and i thought this would be the place to reccomend him as he was a great bloke and was cheaper then other companys in and around sheffield, beleive it or not another limo company recomended him to me. I went for the hummer limo which he did cheaper then 2 other companys.
Well recomended, see his website below in my signature.
akita i just booked 5th avenue for my wedding to cheaper than most and sounded lovely
Tanya T 1 17-01-2008, 15:40 How much has this cost if you dont mind me asking?
I got quoted £290 for a hummer H2 from one company and got quoted £225 from 5th Avenue for a hummer H2
princessL 20-01-2008, 10:48 Hi, Im wanting to hire a luxury/prestige car for my partner for our wedding day (self drive) and wondered if anyone can recommend any good hire companies?
Thanks
rooby_roo 20-01-2008, 10:57 I think you may be better off looking for a chauffeur driven one. Your hubby will have enough pressure to deal with without having to worry about pranging someone elses really expensive car!
Don't listen to rooby_roo... He'll love it!
Don't know any companies who'll do it, but it's a great idea!
rooby_roo 20-01-2008, 11:42 Not really when you really think about it. Having driven a borrowed Vanquish and thats all that I had to think about, if I was to also have had pre-wedding thoughts running through my head I'd have ended up round a lamp post

A newish setup at bottom of Staniforth Road called Jus Hire, I've seen some luxury cars driven about from them. worth having a look.

I need some ideas for our wedding car.I don't want the old fashioned type so I was thinking of something american ,ie pontiac or caddy or 1950's american.Is there anyone doing them in South yorkshire?

we are thinking of renting a sportscar from sheffield as we have worked out the cost and its the same price as a normal wedding car but you can have them for 24 hours for £250 and they look mint
we are using my father in laws classic car to get me to the church. and we are leaving in a vw camper van! saved us a fortune in cars and has that personal touch. maybe try something like that if you know anyone with decent cars. x

soLO3000 05-03-2008, 14:34 I was searching for this company and I came across your post so decided to reply :)
We have used this company in the past, they provided us with 2 Rolls-Royce Phantoms in York, very professional and extremely competitive pricing. I highly recommend them, they won't disappoint. We ended up spending over a k with them, but it was well worth it.
Thanks for providng the web address, I had lost it and was trying to google it.
Have fun :D
EldonEng 03-04-2008, 11:11 We have recently used Kudis Chauffers for our wedding on 30/03/2008, we had a Rolls Royce Phantom the prices were extremely reasonable and the overall exterior of the car was stunning, allthough the Interior of the car was a little dissapointing.
laughaminute 08-04-2008, 14:32 Hi I am getting married in 4 wks time and finding it very difficult to find transport to take me to the wedding. I wondered if anyone would be willing to drive me and my dad to the wedding in a nice classic car? I would pay the willing person.
Any help or suggestions greatfully recieved.
Thanks
looby lou 08-04-2008, 16:04 dont despair I have a few contacts for wedding cars pm me and I will pass on the numbers x
laughaminute 08-04-2008, 19:08 I have tried the classic car section and have had no joy. Just a nice car wanted so don't have to worry about it.
pinklady 08-04-2008, 19:11 laughaminute, please dont worry too much, the important thing is that you get there, isnt there a posh taxi company that have nice cars? you'll get best of both worlds then, ... cheap but nice wedding car
tinkabel 25-04-2008, 15:46 Our small wedding is slowly becoming a big wedding :hihi: i want to surprise my wonderful fiancé by getting us a car to take us from the ceremony to the reception but i need a rough idea on prices, can anyone help?
Ideally it will take me to the ceremony (he can catch the bus afterall he isn't special until he has me as his wife :hihi:) possibly wait and then take us to the reception so all in all 2 hours hire i think :huh:
Thanks in advance.
looby lou 26-04-2008, 21:03 lol poor OH making him get the bus that would be so funny!!!
try ASL limo's for car hire just got some quotes off them and they are charging 300 for 3 hours for 2 merc's which I think is pretty reasonable. Other than that maybe you could just hire a limo for an hour i think it is about a hundred and you get free bubbly.
PM me for their details xxx
tinkabel 27-04-2008, 13:51 Thanks Looby Lou, i've had a quote for £199 which seems very reasonable, they'll do all the pick ups for that. Now got to see if we can budget that in now, my OH's mum expects him to go on a mini-bus with the rest of his family, somehow i think he would rather walk :hihi:
Does anyone know of anywhere that I could hire a horse and carriage for my wedding day? It's not until next year but I'm planning early! Also, if you had an idea of costs that would help.
Thanks

Flightlevel 29-04-2008, 14:28 There is a wedding vehicle hire specialists just up the top of Bramall Lane opposite JE James cycles. They seem to have a cracking selection of very well looked after vintage Rolls Royces etc so I would be sure they may have experience of arranging horse drawn transport or know someone who can.
honeyb35 29-04-2008, 17:59 www.appleblossomcarriages.co.uk :)
swiftcoll 29-04-2008, 18:37 My mum paid for a horse drawn carriage for my sister's wedding last year. It was absolutely beautiful and was a lovely surprise for my sister.
The price was around £700 and I can get the number if you still want it.
You also need to book early because they do get fully booked early.
Are you in Sheffield? Most of the people who do this aren't prepared to travel any great distance with the horses.
I rang springvale carriages (based in Bradway), the bloke was lovely and very helpful. He quoted me £450 for 27th june 09, but we have now decided on a different mode of transport. He did warn me though that they have a travel limit for the horses of approx 4-5miles so try to find a company near to your ceremony.

looby lou 30-04-2008, 11:59 Hi Gemmy
well done on being so organised, I would try Springvale they are great.
Be careful that there are no tram tracks on your route as carriages cant go on them. Good luck with the rest of your planning x
mjlacey21 01-05-2008, 13:30 I ride up where Springvale are based - Dan is fab and excellent with horses.
they really know what they're doing - which is important as it can be pretty dangerous otherwise!
comtessa 01-05-2008, 14:24 Hi there, we're getting married on July 5 in Broomhill and as none of guests are from round here we were getting ideas about a vintage bus to transport everyone - has anyone else done this before? Any recommendations? Have tried looking online but no joy.....
thanks!!! xxx
I'm sure I saw some kind of party bus last summer driving up and down West Street. It was a big old red double decker. Sorry - no idea where is came from - but they must be out there somewhere. Is that what you're after a red double decker? I think that'd be cool!

Hi there! Yes, something like that would be perfect... but extremely elusive in Yorkshire and don't want to have to pay for one to come from London or somewhere. Thanks, now I know they're definitely out there!
I was looking for this just the the other day and found this page which has some useful information on it,
http://freespace.virgin.net/neil.worthington/sheff/page1~1.htm
it also has some links to other sites too which may be handy for you too..
comtessa 01-05-2008, 15:36 That's awesome, I've just spoken to two companies about vintage bus hire - thank you so much!!! xxx (So if you see a double decker around sheffield on 5 July, you'll know why!)
http://www.americanpielimos.co.uk Try this company i have just got the future wife a limo for ours in august. Great customer service and one of the best prices around. seems they have also got some new cars since i have orded mine.

Snap, we are using this company for our wedding cars. A Chrysler 300C with a matching limo for me and the bridesmaids, I too thought their prices were very good.

I'm having a horse and carriage and a vintage car from Cottam Carriages. They have been super helpful and very reasonable. Their prices are on their website - www.cottamcarriages.co.uk
What car is everyone having to take them to their said venue?
Are you and your partner having the same kind of Car or different?
Also pics would be nice :P :D
i had a white morris minor traveller which a fellow forumer load us & he even drove it for us
honeyb35 28-05-2008, 09:18 I've no idea yet, I'm still looking. I'm not bothered about a vintage car, and I dont want a white limo. Trying to find something completely different but they tend to come with a large price tag! I've had a quote on a pair of cadillacs (ouch) and I've also been looking at vw campers, but there doesnt seem to be any places that hire things like that close by. My OH would love a mk2 granada or capri or something, he loves his 80's cars!

Jeez :wow: Thats a beauty! :love:
beemerchez 30-05-2008, 11:33 apparently this was from america last year when we booked it
and the previous owner in america used to use it as his everyday car.
but there roads are highways so i guess no problem there.
not like ours .lol
hes going to have trouble on the day as the church is on the same side where i live
and about 20 houses away....
so he will have to go round the block in a big circle about 10 mins.
to get 100yrds back where he started
enough time to open a bottle of bubbly
and have a drink before getting there.;o)
put it this way the back of the car when picking me up
will be nearly at the church lol
he also has the identical limmo but with gold trims.
beemerchez 30-05-2008, 11:38 forgot to add they are 8 seaters too
I need an additional car for June 21st, anyone any ideas.
Bride and Groom are sorted but we have to transfer 4 family members from their home to the church.
beemerchez 10-06-2008, 15:20 Isan't there any one going in cars.
im sure they wont mind being a taxi if they are already going..lol
i have a mini bus booked from church to venue for any one left in church.
but there is a few cars going so some will scrounge a lift no doubt.;o)
edited to say.
other than that the bus passes the church and stops outside the venue..lol

I've got a similar problem, my mum doesnt drive and as i want my dad to travel with me, she'd be stuck, as well as my nannan, brother, his girlf and a few other family members. I also have my son, who is the best man, but he's in a wheelchair. I've tried to find wheelchair access wedding transport to no avail so am going to hire a wheelchair access minibus instead! I'm asking everyone who wants to travel in it to contribute a little to the cost as i can't afford it all, but i'm sure it'll work out cheaper to them than each taking a seperate taxi!

We are looking for a new Mercedes style car for our wedding in March. (not interested in limos or vintage, just brand new looking models)
We've seen a really nice black AMG sports model at Beaus and Belle at Pontefract(http://www.beausandbelles-weddingcars.co.uk/), but the £425 is a little over our budget.
We only want 2 trips (the first 500yds and the 2nd of less than 2 miles) all in S6 over a timescale of around 3hrs.
Can anyone recommend a company that may be able to offer similar, but cheaper?
Rather than a "wedding car company", does anyone know of someone who owns a nice merc that would like to be a chauffer for the afternoon? LOL.
Well managed to sort this one ourselves. Managed to get the same Mercedes CLS as the other place, but for just £250 at a place in Halifax (thank god for the internet eh?)

Hope this helps someone.

Spanna2005 06-11-2008, 15:05 All we need is a glorified taxi service to take me and my dad plus bridesmaids from the hotel to the wedding venue at a reasonable price. The journey takes less than 10mins (Rutland Hotel to Tapton Hall) and we don't need the car for photos. Best quote so far has been £90 for 2 hours hire.
Can anyone beat that? Still trying to drive (scuse the pun) down costs where we can!
itsjamesbond 12-11-2008, 22:12 Need to cover the cost of keeping my babies on the road.
So why not have a different trip to the wedding. Hire one or take everyone to the wedding and hire all 3.
Drop me a reply if you fancy something different and something everyone will remember.

itsjamesbond 16-11-2008, 17:52 Hi
Dec is a good time. No music festivals to attend.
Im looking at about £200 for weddings for 2 vehicles which I dont think is bad considering how much mainstream VW rentals are charging.Just depends on how far. how long. photos etc I know there not everyones cup of tea but I love them and think they would add that little extra something to anybodies wedding day. Just depends if I have to take the day off work to do it as im a nurse so have to cover using one of my annual leave days at work.
Hope to here from you soon......well in 2 years
Regards
Andrew

Why not try a horse and carriage? I know the people at Springvale carriages and it really would add an extra touch to your wedding. Prices start from £450 for local journeys.
www.springvalecarriages.co.uk (website is going to be updated soon with some recent photos).
We have a bus to cary 76 of the guests. just another 25 to account for. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd rather hire privately than off a company if possible.
I'm thinking something to get the guys there - 6 plus groom
Something to get the girls there - 6 plus me
Something to get me and groom to reception after.
That leaves 12 but I'm sure someone will drive.
Thanks everyone,
Gem x
asl limos 20-01-2009, 10:23 Do you have the big printed adverts all over the limo's?
Hi Gemmy
No our limo`s and cars do not have advertising on them which makes them a lot better for your wedding photos.
We have a number of different limo`s and cars to choose from so we would be able to solve your problem of guests too also we could do more than one trip depending how far it is from the pick ups to the destinations .
We have a website where you can go and view the vehicles and have a read about us .
The website is having some work done on it at the moment but i`m sure all the pages are live still.
Here`s the website www.asllimousines.co.uk

steveb2007 26-01-2009, 14:32 As i am getting hitched in July,i am looking round for a wedding car for the big day.
We quite fancied a Rolls Royce,or something similar maybe,and i just wondered if anyone had any advice,or recommendations.We don't want to pay an arm & a leg for one,but do want something nice.
If you own a nice car,please PM me.Thanks.
I am in much the same boat - on a very tight budget and needing transport from Killamarsh to Chesterfield Registry office and back again (the reception is in the village) on May 30th. Any offers/suggestions, please PM me
minibobkin 10-02-2009, 10:26 Hi, i'm looking for somewhere to hire a cheap car from suitable for a wedding, i dont mean proper wedding cars because they are far over what i can afford i have priced up a 7 seater for 1 days hire and that is £50 with £250 refundable deposit but i've decided to go for something smaller so does anyone know something suitable around that budget please (it only really needs to pick me up take to reg office then take us where we are going after and i can get a driver) Thankyou.

Hi we have a brand new chrysler 300c in silver and we are based in hillsborough. Have a look at our website www.asllimousines.co.uk
have you had a look on the classic cars section - there are a couple of people offering their services.
Slinky_Suz 16-03-2009, 09:31 For an Austin Princess Classic Car, I would highly recommend GEEVS Classic Cars.
We are getting married August 2009 and have been searching for the right car, and came across this company based in Westfield.
He keeps his cars in good condition throughout the year, which is a lot to be said when other companies we looked at just leave them out in the elements over the winter.
He was a very warm and nice man and I have every confidence in him for our big day.
He has 3 Austin Princess cars all in cream and black, one of them the back of the roof will fold down. Each car was under £300 for what we needed, so compared to other places was well priced too.
His website is here
geevsclassics.com/Site/Wedding%20Car%20Hire%20Sheffield.html
Looking for vintage bus hire, possibly the old red London buses ?? anyone know of a good service for these? there are places on the net but looking for reccomendations
Thanks
If you are looking for a Mercedes, but not your bog standard C class, then look at Halifax Prestige Wedding Cars. They've got a lovely CLS320 which we had for our wedding last month.
They were happy to come to Sheffield for job and they were still cheaper than other CLS's that I had been quoted for closer to home.
http://www.halifaxprestigeweddingcars.co.uk/
Highly recommended.
Could anyone recommend a well priced wedding transport service on a budget?? Not compromising on service??
I am on a budget of £300 or hopefully less, i would need 2 cars, going from hillsborough to wortley hall, wortley , penistone. I really like the more traditional wedding cars rather than a limo or something more modern.
Is my budgeted £300 too low?? Weddings are soooo expensive!! x x x
Holza1987 23-04-2009, 15:12 Hello, Could any one tell me how many people a limo can hold?
I have 6 bms (one is going to be 10months) and then me and my mother so 8 total! is that too many? Also has any one got recommendations? I want one from my house (S5) to sheffield centre. (church then reception about 10mins away)
Hi
not sure what kind of cars people are wanting to hire but we used for our wedding 3 weeks ago able executive cars. they are very reasonable priced and did a super job of taking me and my huge bridal party to the church and made sure my hubby got there too.
Nikki4288 11-05-2009, 11:43 Hey
I really need some help, We are looking for just one or maybe two wedding cars to take us about five minutes down the road to the church and back again to the reception. I dont want to be paying £300-£400 for this as its literally five minutes. Does anyone know a wedding car company that wont rip us off. We are wanting to get this organised pretty quickly and have the deposit ready.
I'd appreciate any help or advice you can give
Thanks
Nikki
looby lou 11-05-2009, 15:39 try ASL, ask for Andy, they are really nice and should be able to help you out

Nikki4288 20-05-2009, 13:47 Ive been trying these companies, and they all seemed to be booked up with the nice cars. We are really struggling to find cars, getting a bit stressed with it now. Because its bank holiday they are all booked up.
Does anyone else know of any more companies or are there any companies out there which are available? We are getting married on the 28th August 2010.
Id love any help from anyone?

vicster1 05-06-2009, 15:38 We are hiring a vintage bus for our wedding, but now there are going to be more people than we thought. We need transport for another 8-10 people and we can't afford to hire expensive cars.
We don't want a minibus, we would like a couple of nice cars. Does anyone know of any taxi companies who have nice cars who will also stick a ribbon on the front?

is the journey short enough that you could do two trips with the vintage bus?
vicster1 05-06-2009, 16:03 no the journey is 30mins
looby lou 05-06-2009, 18:05 you should ring city taxis and ask them, they have done something similar for me in the past

I want to recommend ASL limousines (there is a link on the previous page). They did a really good job for us, with a good price. If they are reading this - Thanks a lot!
I was speaking to a man in the pub the other night who has shire horses with which he does weddings/rides at Carsington water and a few shows. He said he doesnt advertise himself other than in the Peak Advertiser but does do weddings throughout Sheffield and the surrounding area. He charges around £350 for the shire horse, their wedding coach and champagne after the ceremony.
Have got his details if anyone is interested. Looking at another leaflet i got it was £700 so thought this was quite good value!! (just need to get married now!!)

Sarah0574 13-07-2009, 21:30 I'm looking for a nice car or white taxicab (not minibus) to take me + 4 members of wedding party from hotel to the wedding ceremony in Hartington village, Derbyshire. This would only be a quick 15 minute job at the most as it is just taking us from one end of the village to the other. It can be done in 2 runs if all 5 people won't fit.
I have got one quote for a Mercedes for £230 which seems astronomical considering it is only taking us from one end of a village to the other end!
Does anyone know of anyone cheaper?

Can anyone receommend a company to hire wedding buses from? We're wanting to ship our guests from Sheffield out to Hathersage and back again.

rickyday33 19-08-2009, 12:14 Hi
Meet Buster, my 1964 VW camper.
http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._6767616_n.jpg
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id...6&l=a8763275e8
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...36&l=20dd64e59
After purchasing Buster in 2006, he has had a full top to bottom restoration that has taken almost 2 years. He has spent all his life in the UK so required a “little” work!! The work was done by all the family so a lot of love has gone in to him. After completion in summer 2008, we have covered many miles and made many smiles along the way!! Buster was restored using top quality components and upgraded along the way for a safer enjoyable ride.
Buster has a lot more to offer than your standard VW Bus. Features are as follows –
• Stunning paint work, with tasteful chrome trim.
• 13 windows of which all open or pop out. Tinted rear windows for a little extra privacy (Safari Windows).
• Beautiful interior matching the outside 2 tone colours.
• Awesome In Car Entertainment including : Premium sound system, 4 TV screens including a 19” screen, DVD player, I-pod connection, Blue/White LED mood lighting, Scart hook up (can plug camcorder/digital camera)
• Fully fitted seatbelts all round.
• 5 bow Stainless/wooden roof rack.
• Fully gas heated.
• Room for 5 people with lots off leg/dress room (includes Driver.....ME!!!)
He’s got to be one of the best VW’s out there right now and get’s very positive attention wherever he goes. Buster is perfect for that special occasion and will help make your day, a day to remember.
Buster will be decorated with ribbons and flowers and come with a complementary bottle of bubbly!!
I have full insurance for private hire unlike a lot of VW owners
Please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions or queries. Thanks for your interest.

Hi dieselbabe.
Sorry we can't help with the trike. Or come to think of it the Porsche 911 but can do Bentley Arnage T (current model) and/or Aston Martin Vantage it either of these will do?
If not, good luck with your quest! and whatever wedding transport you end up with have a lovely day.
Simon
Ps. the Bentley is Yorkshire's ony current model Arnage licensed as a taxi so we can do your honeymoon trip or airport run if you like. £100 + £1 per mile (or £100 only if you book at same time as wedding booking).
S Fredrick 10-12-2009, 18:00 I have a pair of Peacock blue Rolls Royce Shadow II. Allways happy to quote !
Hi jurg
We often get asked for additional cars. I think your Shadows would work well with our Meteor Blue Arnage.
Have a look at a wedding we did in June this year at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvSP9kOCIaM
Let me know if you would like to work together. :)
Speak soon.

S Fredrick 11-12-2009, 20:07 I was just wondering what is a reasonable cost for the hire of a wedding car? Can anyone help, please?
Use a freinds car for free! some people advertise old Rolls Royce Silver Spirits for £100 all the way up to a new Phantom which will cost about £1000.
Some things you may want to think about.
1. Are they insured for hire and reward?
2. Is the car reliable?
3. Is the car safe? (licensed cars are tested every 3 months).
4. Is the driver safe (licensed operators go through enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check and taxi driving test).
5. Is the company reliable?
6. Do they take other bookings for that car in the same day?
7. Do they provide child seats if needed?
8. Has the chauffeur taken any additional training for example:
British chauffeurs Guild
Institution of Advanced Motorists
Bentley Chauffeurs Academy (where many of the worlds Royal chauffeurs are trained).
9. If they give a complementary bottle of Champagne is it quality such as Moet and Chandon or a 99p bottle of fizzy?
10. do they offer discounted airport honeymoon travel after the wedding?
Good luck in finding the car you want. :)

Caz.makin83 19-03-2010, 21:38 after looking at hiring cars for my wedding day and getting loads of expensive quotes, i got into a black cab the other day and thought how great it would be to go to the church in one. Its got so much space inside for a dress not to get crumpled and you can even get you bridesmaids in for the fraction of the price!:hihi: :hihi:
what does everyone else think.....trying to do my wedding on a budget you see!lol:hihi: :hihi:
Samlasota... Did you manage to find a taxi cab as a wedding car?
I have been looking for a company that would do a black or white cab for my wedding in September but can find no one....
Anyone know anybody who does this??
Thanks!

Hi i've tried looking for this website but am having no joy. I'm after a newish wedding car for this august!
bigdave6295 23-04-2010, 14:41 Hi i've tried looking for this website but am having no joy. I'm after a newish wedding car for this august!
sorry my mistake the website s actually http://www.aristocatweddings.co.uk/ they have 3 cars, two which I am having for september which are the 1949, mark 5 Jag (Lotty) and 1968 Mark 2 '340' Jag (Nelly).
The other is a 1996 XJ6 'Executive' (grace) if this is anything like the other two then it will be in fantastic condition. They are not a massive company and do it for the love of it so are very reasonably priced and the cars are amazing. A must for any Bride and Groom.

katiepj1 04-06-2010, 17:04 Hi everyone,
I'm in desperate need of a lovely classic car to take me to my wedding in July on Ecclesall Road and possibly a separate car to take us to our reception in the Peak District. If there is anyone out there who can hep me out, I'd be forever grateful. We could pay a bit but we just cannot afford to spend £400 or so.
Please PM or reply if you can help us out at all. Cheers.
katiepj1 26-06-2010, 18:41 Hey everybody,
Still looking for anyone who is willing to let us borrow/drive us to the reception on our wedding day on 30 July. We're looking for something vintage or something like a new Jag. We're getting desperate now so if you can help us at all it would be massively appreciated and we can pay you for your troubles! If you think you can help, please reply or PM me.
Cheers again. :)
kezd2201 14-07-2010, 15:35 I was speaking to a man in the pub the other night who has shire horses with which he does weddings/rides at Carsington water and a few shows. He said he doesnt advertise himself other than in the Peak Advertiser but does do weddings throughout Sheffield and the surrounding area. He charges around £350 for the shire horse, their wedding coach and champagne after the ceremony.
Have got his details if anyone is interested. Looking at another leaflet i got it was £700 so thought this was quite good value!! (just need to get married now!!)
hiya bit late i know but i dnt suppose u still have contacts for him still, or wheather he still does weddings
thanks kerry

Hi, does anyone know any reasonably priced, classic car hire places - have a wedding on a budget but would still like to get to the church in style! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks :)

I found legends weddings cars on Handsworth to be very reasonable and Kev and Bev are lovely!
Amore Cars 30-08-2010, 09:34 A Daimler DS420 limousine has a very similar internally spacious layout to a black cab i.e glass division, occasional folding seats and offers considerably more luxory and granduer in my opinion, It is physically larger than a black cab probably internally and externally and they seat up to 7 passengers plus driver.
A Black cab will no doubt work out cheaper but you may miss out on a few things like a colour choice of ribbons and bows, uniformed chauffeur, trial journeys of your transport arrangements, floral arrangements in the rear and possibly a champagne toast for after the ceremony.
At the risk of being accused again of touting my wedding cars on here, there is a link to my company kindly posted above by another user.

What sort of price is it for wedding cars nowadays, please?
mrteabag 04-09-2010, 18:04 they tend to vary on the distance from home to church and church to venue.
ours are costing £280 thats for 2 cars one for the bride and one for the brides maids.
try mgm cars in rotherham he has some lovely cars and price is pretty cheap :)

I used MGM cars of Rotherham a few years back but unfortunately wouldn't recommend them.
The driver literally dropped me and my dad off at the venue and sped off for his next wedding. No photos of the car or anything. I was under the impression I'd paid for the car for the afternoon (my fault to assume I know) but to refuse to do any photos was outrageous. My husband never got a glimpse of this feature of our wedding

Hi,
Not been on here in a while and not sure if this is the right section for this request.
I am looking for a fun form of transport to get me and my ushers to my wedding next June.
I did look at limos but wanted something a bit different, only need it for about half an hour so the big vintage cars are very expensive.
What would be cool if there was someone with a VW van that someone owned and wanted a bit of extra cash.
Did think about an A-team van but Jordan did that!
Any ideas or help appreciated
Thanks
Wadders
Forumosaurus 10-10-2010, 18:42 You can rent a fire engine out
Dickmint 10-10-2010, 18:46 I saw an old fashioned double decker bus with a wedding party in it a few weeks ago. It was "ribboned up" and looked very stylish.
Threads merged. Please don't start more than one thread about the same topic.
The wedding I'm shooting on Sat is having an old fashioned double decker to get the wedding party from the Registry Office to the Quayside. I'll find out the details.
Thanks,
only need a 6 seater tho. That's why I'm struggling for ideas. Just want something different then a limo...
S Fredrick 06-12-2010, 19:24 I was just wondering what is a reasonable cost for the hire of a wedding car? Can anyone help, please?
You can expect to pay £50 for an old banger to £1200 for a new Rolls Phantom, depending on what vehicle and service you require. many companies are offering a second car free at the moment.

We only ever book one wedding per day per vehicle. many things can go wrong on your special day the last thing you need is for your wedding car to shoot off half way through the wedding. as always expect to get what you pay for but make sure you discuss your requirements and get a written quotation with the details of the service to be provided. The wedding car industry is totally unregulated, no need for taxi licences etc. so be careful who you choose and make sure they are insured for Hire and reward.
*Hipster* 13-12-2010, 12:25 Anyone used Amore for wedding cars? If so, please can I have your feedback!
Would you recommend them?
Many Thanks!!

Same here, we're getting married in October, but am taking advantage of a good friends offer. Not a Rolls or limo, but a nice car, and with a few ribbons and bows on it, it'll be perfect :)
Bettyjoy 09-01-2011, 18:31 I just have a bit of a daft query. We are getting married outside Sheffield just past Hathersage in July and I dont really know what I'm supposed to do regarding transport for the guests after the wedding. The venue is a bit remote and not in a village. Do I need to organise transport and hope people are ready to go home when i turns up?? Do I leave it up to the guests to book, having given them taxi numbers?? Any help would be much appreciated??
Twoflags 09-01-2011, 18:38 it's pretty much a given when the invites go out that guests will need to make their own way to and from. If it worries you though I know you can hire a vintage bus, just not sure where from
I got married at a church near my home and had the reception the other side of sheffield so I put on a vintage bus for my guests.
Dark Moomin 11-01-2011, 13:52 I was planning on putting on some busses too and from our venue as its not a hotel and a bit out of town, but depenbding on costs I may end up putting on the invite that it will be a pound or two a head (but still cheaper than a taxi). This is mostly because I don't want people feeling they will have to drive up from the hotel we are using or from home and then not be able to drink should they want to.
Aussie86 11-01-2011, 22:08 Are the majority of the guests going back to the same place e.g. Hotel?
In which case, you might like to suggest to them that you are happy to organise a small coach/mini bus (dependent on the number of guests). If you're wanting to keep costs down, ask them to all chip in a few quid and pay on the night to the driver - which some companies will accept. It saves 10+ taxis and can work out cheaper than taxis and safe knowing everyone gets back ok (no matter how drunk they might be!).
Hi everyone, sorry if this has been posted already. I thought Id seen it mentioned before on the main wedding cars thread but cant for the life of me find it!
We are trying to save as much money as possible on wedding transport and were thinking of hiring a few black cabs...and maybe a white one for me.
Just wondered if anybody had actually done this and what were they like? Worth it?
Also what companies do you think would be best and were they willing to attach ribbons etc to the cars?
Again really sorry if this has been done.
Thanks Sam x
talk to some of the major taxi companies as they use black cabs for private hire too.
you never kow might not work out too bad.
Thanks, apparently City and Mercury do them for weddings but waiting to hear back from them.

Bettyjoy 30-01-2011, 00:33 Im having problems hunting down the right sort of transport for our wedding. Hoping to have something like VW campervan, morris minor or old ford zephyr style car. There are a few campervan hire companies but they seem to charge an awful lot.
Does anyone know of any reasonable local companies or anyone who has a lovely old vintage car/camper that would be interested in taking us to our wedding venue (there would be ££ and a pint or two by way of payment!)

Hi
I'm in the same situation, I only really need transport from my house to the venue (only about 4 miles) and since all day the wedding is in the same place, there is no need to travel between venues. So it will be me and my dad arriving. In theory everyone else should already be there. So if nobody's going to see the car, why spend money? We might as well just get a taxi. I really don't mind doing that.
Try campervan capers
Www.campervan-capers.co.Uk
Very reasonable
