Vintage Classic Cars

I'm always on the look out for great wedding suppliers in the South West so I did my usual tweet out and up pops these AH... Mazing guys with a fleet of fantastic cars... 

They do self drive classic car hire for weddings, minimoons or even engagements!  

The wedding hire works much like any other car hire; Bookings are taken in advance – usually well in advance for such a special day but they can help out with a weeks notice if anyone has been let down elsewhere, as it has happened!

Usually the car is chosen by the couple but occasionally it’s a surprise for one of them (or the Bride’s father!) As featured here on Rock My wedding 

The car is collected from their premises in Melksham, Wiltshire by at least one of the named drivers, then the driver is shown the controls and offered a test drive.  

If you are keeping the car for a minimoon, they can give you suggested tours – They have 10 or more covering the Cotswolds & West country.  They also give free ribbons & bows for the car and shown how and where to attach these for maximum effect!

For local weddings (a 25 mile radius of our base) they also offer a chauffeured service in one of their 4 seaters– their driver David is lovely and always puts a Bride /Father and Groom at ease.  One couple recently commented; “We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your wonderful car and service on our wedding day on the 30th November. The car was beautiful and everyone commented on how special it was and everything was perfect on the day.  The driver was also very kind and sweet which was lovely!Thank you for helping to make our day so perfect and for making the process so easy. We are very pleased in our choice!”
