Sandra & Tommy, Married in Marlow

Our Old English White Daimler was in service at Sandra and Tommy's wedding in Marlow this weekend. We picked Sandra up from Bix Manor for the drive to St Peter's Church in Marlow. Next to the church is a house called the Deanery which was covered in Wisteria which looked amazing in the sunshine. After the ceremony we returned to Bix Manor where the reception was held.

Ashley & Chris' Oxford Wedding

We were back at the Randolph this weekend to collect New Yorker Ashley for her marriage to Brit Chris. The service was at the Oxford Oratory just off St Giles. As usual we attracted much interest from tourists as we made our way around the city. After the ceremony and a short drive we stopped at St John's College for photos. The reception was held at the Bodliean Library. A real tour of Oxford's landmarks in one wedding.

Ewelme Wedding

I love my job, I get to drive our amazing cars every week and quite often get to see some beautiful places. This weekend I got both. Christobel & Jack chose Ewelme near Wallingford for their wedding, it's a lovely little village famous for it's water cress beds and narrow lanes. 
After the ceremony we took a 20 minute drive through wonderful Oxfordshire countryside to Christobel's Fathers cottage at Nuney Green. What a stunning place for your wedding reception, in the middle of woodland some distance away from main roads it was so quiet. The thatched cottage formed the backdrop to the two large marquees erected in the grounds where guests were entertained. Perfect.

Wallingford Vehicle Rally & Parade

Two of our vehicles were at the Wallingford Rally and Parade yesterday. This charity fund raising event saw 250 classic vehicles gather at a sports ground just outside Wallingford before departing on a vehicle parade around the town. Local residents were out in force to wave to the parade as it passed. The parade reached Kinecroft Park where the cars formed a show for attendees. As well as the vast range of classic vehicles ranging from enormous American gas guzzlers to Vespa scooters they were entertained by various stalls, displays by the emergency services and car rides. Last year the event raised £7,000.

Christopher & Nicola's Wedding in Culham

It was a blustery day for Christopher and Nicola's wedding at Culham Church in Oxfordshire this weekend. The church is situated in a pretty location up a narrow track near the village green. Opposite the church is old Culham Manor that looks very grand behind it's high old stone walls.

The reception was held at Steventon House Hotel, near Abingdon. Our Silver Grey Jaguar MK2 was booked for the journey during which the newly weds enjoyed a much needed glass of Champagne.
