Vintage Look for London Wedding

The Jaguar was in a very hot London this weekend. We picked up Bride Jane from Tuffnell Park for her wedding in nearby Islington, then drove the newlyweds to their reception at the Prince Albert in Camden. The couple chose not to have the car dressed in the usual ribbons which I think was a good choice for a wedding in town.

Bank Holiday Weddings

The cars clocked up some miles this week. Alice and Liam were married in Flitton, Linda and Tom in West London and Unity and Simon in Oxford resulting in some great pictures.

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.

Our Jag in Art Film

As well as providing wedding transport this weekend our Jaguar MK2 has been making an appearance in an Art Movie produced for Brockman's Gin.

The film is shot in black & white with a sinister feel and unusual characters throughout. The Jaguar features in a number of scenes relating to what appears to be the kidnapping of a young man by a group of gangsters. He is driven through the dark iconic streets of London to a shadowy warehouse to meet his fate.

We spent two nights around Tower Bridge and at a Studio in North West London finishing in the early hours only to rise again early to prep the Jag for Katie and Henk's wedding in Wargrave.

The film should be on Brockman's web site and YouTube around November time and we will be adding a link to it from our web site. You can see some behind the scenes pictures on Brockman's Blog.

Weddings in Oxford, Marlow and Slough

A busy weekend, Kamella and Stuart booked the Jaguar for their wedding in Marlow followed by our Evening Service to take them from the reception at Le Manoir to their London Home. Shinki and Idrees hired the Daimler to take them to their evening reception at Baylis House in Slough and Mark and Sarah booked the Daimler for their wedding in Oxford.

We picked up Sarah from Malmaison together with a replica Ford "T" Limo from another company to convey the Bridesmaids. We encountered a Hen Party whilst waiting outside the hotel which caused a brief amusing distraction. The ceremony was held at St Andrews in Headington. Headington must have been a charming little village before it was swallowed up by expanding Oxford. It has narrow streets lined with characterful properties and traditional pubs. After the ceremony we drove the newlyweds to the reception which was held at a vineyard near Shillingford.

Gypsophila in Richmond

Once or twice a year we are booked for weddings in West London, this is about as far into the capital we normally go. This weekend we were in sunny Richmond in the Jaguar MK2, picking up Nicola from the riverside boutique Bingham hotel to take her to Grove House via Richmond Park for her marriage to Chris. Nicola arranged for some additional decoration on the car in the form of white Gypsophila.
