White Wedding in Henley

I thought last week's weather was depressing enough but this week freezing temperatures and persistent light snow moved us to a new level for a late March wedding.
Our Daimler was in service for Mark and Catherine's wedding in Henley this weekend. Luckily we didn't have to travel far to collect Catherine's Bridesmaids before returning to take Catherine and her parents to Phyllis Court for her wedding to Mark. The heater in the Daimler was turned up to full power to ensure all traveled in comfort.
The ceremony and reception were both held at Phyllis Court so the car waited until after the ceremony for photos with the car outside the main entrance. Thankfully a glass canopy covers the entrance which kept the couple dry.
Lets hope things improve in April.

Loren & Luke's Wedding

Weather wise it was like being transported back to last Summer, very annoying rain, rain, rain. However it didn't dampen the mood at Loren and Luke's wedding in Tilehurst. 

It's worth noting when planning your wedding car that we can always make an additional trip to the church if it is within a 10 minute or so drive of the collection address. On this occasion we first drove the Bride's mum, bridesmaids and flower girl to the church before returning to collect Loren and her Father for a bang on time arrival. 

During the wait for the ceremony as well as preparing the Champagne, our team like to get busy with a camera as you will see below.

When the wedding guests emerged from the church the rain stopped for long enough to allow for photos outside the church.  Once the photos were completed it was Champagne time as we drove the newly weds to their reception at Trunkwell House, Beech Hill. This is the first time we have worked on a wedding at this venue, it's located just outside Reading in a pretty rural setting.

Wedding Car Inspired by Hotel Brochure

Our first wedding of the 2013 season was in Oxford City. We were recently contacted by the Senior Concierge at the Randolph Hotel in Oxford on behalf of a couple getting married at the hotel this month. They had seen the picture below in the hotel brochure and wanted to recreate it on their wedding day, particularly as a friend of Bride Suzie had a wedding photo in pride of place featuring a beautiful wedding car.


The Jaguar in the picture is not ours but is almost identical and after much web searching they came across our website where our Silver Grey Jaguar MK2 is featured.

Not easy to recreate on a Saturday afternoon amongst the traffic, tourists and shoppers.
I'm sure the official photographer did a better job
Suzie and Dan were holding their ceremony and reception at the Randolph so didn't really need a car but to ensure they had that special photo of the day they booked our MK2. After photos outside the hotel we took them for a drive around the city while they chilled with a glass of Champagne. As we neared the Randolph we stopped at Park Town for some photos before Suzie and Dan rejoined their guests at the Randolph.
