Marylebone Wedding

The Jag was in West London this weekend for Victoria and Richard's wedding at St James' Church, Marylebone, W1.

We picked Victoria and her Mum up from the Olde Bell in Hurley near Henley for the drive into London. We were extremely lucky to get a parking spot just outside the church where the Jag waited until the newly weds emerged for the return journey to Hurley for the reception. The guests were transported from Hurley and back in two old Routemaster buses, a popular choice for guest transport these days.

This Weekend's Brides

A very wet Saturday was the backdrop for Charlotte and Geraint's wedding at Holy Trinity Church in Prestwood, High Wycombe. Charlotte's father is headmaster at a nearby prep school and lives in the headmaster's house (surprise surprise) where we collected the bride to be. The reception was held at the school and they booked our Daimler for the journey to the church and back.

Meanwhile in Wheatley near Oxford the Jaguar was the transport of choice for Clare and Jonathan's wedding. The rain had cleared by this point and we made two trips to the nearby St Mary's church, one for the bridesmaids then we drove Clare and her father. After the formalities and photos we drove across country to Steventon House Hotel near Abingdon for the reception.

June and Darren's Wedding in Abingdon

The Daimler returned to Oxford this weekend to collect Bride June from Wolvercote for the journey to Abingdon for her marriage to Darren. The ceremony was held at Trinity Church, a church we have done a few weddings at now. After the wedding and photos we took the champagne sipping newlyweds for a short drive around town then down the road that runs alongside the Thames before arriving at the riverside Upper Reaches hotel where the reception was held.

Weekend of Weddings

A busy weekend started on Friday with Michael and Kathryn's wedding in Marlow. They booked the Jaguar for the Bridal car and the Daimler for the Bridesmaids. The location made for some nice pictures as did the reception venue, Bix Manor.

Then onto Saturday. The Daimler was in Oxford at Oriel College for Alex and Paul's wedding who held their reception at the family home in Headington. The Jaguar was in Kidmore End for Naval Groom Adam's marriage to Katharine. Maintaining a nautical theme we dropped them off at Leander in Henley where they made the last leg of the journey to their reception at Temple Island by boat. Last but no means least the Morse Jag was also in Henley for Phil and Holly's wedding in the Town Hall. They then traveled to the Crooked Billet in Stoke Row for their reception.

African Safari Honeymoon

Charlotte and Tom were married at the local church to the family home in Midgham, Berkshire this weekend.

Charlotte's father Steve who is a Jaguar fan and drives an XK8, booked our Silver Grey Jaguar MK2 for the occasion. After the ceremony at the village church we drove them back to Steve's house where the reception was held in a large and beautifully decorated marquee in the garden.

The Jaguar returned later in the evening to take the newlyweds to their hotel in Reading where they spent the night before leaving on their honeymoon the next day. Charlotte's parents provided some suitably themed cushions and car rugs for the journey to Reading.

On Sunday afternoon the Jag collected Charlotte and Tom from their hotel and drove them to Heathrow to catch their flight to South Africa. 

In the meantime the Daimler and Morse look-alike Jaguar MK2 provided transport for Mikala and James' wedding in Crowmarsh Gifford. Unfortunately badly timed downpours restricted photo opportunities.
