Once or twice a year we are booked for weddings in West London which is as far as we go in that direction. This weekend we were in sunny Richmond picking up Nicola from the riverside Bingham Hotel to take her to Grove House via Richmond Park for her Marriage to Chris. Nicola arranged for additional decoration on the car in the form of Gypsopila. Nice.

Rebecca and Peter traveled from Reading to Lillibrooke Manor in Maidenhead for their wedding this weekend. As is usual at single venue weddings, the car waited for the ceremony so the couple could have some photos with the car afterwards. In this case they booked the Daimler for a little longer so they could go for a drive afterwards and enjoy a glass of Champagne. Bad habits got the better of them though and a stop for a cigarette break was called.

It's becoming a habit this year, once again we were at picturesque Hambleden . This time on a lovely warm sunny day for the marriage of Ellie and Russ. After the ceremony we took them for a drive around Henley in our Jaguar MK2 before heading on to the reception at Phyllis Court, Henley.

Congratulations to Stephanie and Darren who were married at St Andrew's Church in Sonning. The wet weather of the past few months has finally broken and the Sun shone. They traveled in the Jaguar to their reception at Sonning Golf Club. Thanks to Darren for the 5 star review.

The Jaguar was chosen by Sarah and Nick for their wedding in Hambleden this week. This pretty village is a popular wedding venue and we do several weddings here each year. After the ceremony we drove the couple to Monk's Barn in Hurley for the reception.

Yellow was the theme for Chris & Chika's wedding at Ardington House near Wantage this week. Our Jaguar MK2 picked Chika and her parents up from Milton Hill House Hotel for the ceremony on an island in the lake behind the main house. After the ceremony we drove across the huge lawn and round to the front of the house for photos.

The Government is currently reviewing the laws on taxi and private hire licencing.

Under the proposals wedding (and funeral) cars would no longer be exempted and forced to register as a private hire vehicle.

Classic and vintage wedding cars are often supplied by small companies and individuals who do a small

Stop press...It didn't rain!!! The Daimler and Jaguar were back at Holy Trinity in Cookham this weekend for the second time in a month. The Daimler was chosen as the Bridal car for Actor Simon Bird's marriage to Lisa. After the ceremony and photos in fine weather, we drove the newlyweds and their parents back to The Olde Bell in Hurley for the reception.

Oxford again this week for the wedding of Sharon & John in Cowley. The couple had exclusive use of Reddish Manor in Sonning Common and returned there after the ceremony for the reception. As well as our Jaguar they booked a People Carrier which is one of two we hire in for transporting members of the wedding party.

The weather was a major feature in this week's weddings. Jane and Stephen were married in Wokingham and the wind got the better of Jane's Veil. Martha and Neil were married in Oxford and the gale force winds buffeted us on the drive to the Great Barn at Aynho. Just as we arrived the rain added to the mix. Neither couple let Autumnal weather spoil their day.

Both cars were out at two weddings this weekend, a town centre wedding in High Wycombe on Friday for Jeremy & Sophie and a wedding in the pretty village of Aston Tirrold for Rachel & Ghyslain on Saturday.

We've had a busy weekend, first the wedding of musician Dhani Harrison and his new wife, Sola in the Daimler (sorry no photos) and then both cars provided transport for the wedding party at Clare and Andrew's wedding in Cookham. The reception was at Stirrups in Maidens Green.

On a beautiful sunny day we provided our Daimler for Fiona's wedding at Le Manoir, Great Milton. It is a stunning place with legendary food and amazing gardens. Perfect.

Our Jaguar MK2 drove past our Daimler outside St Nicholas' Rotherfield Greys for Chris & Emma's wedding en route to Didcot for Victoria & John's wedding. Victoria chose a Cerise colour theme. After the ceremony at All Saints we went for a short drive so the newly weds could relax with a glass of Champagne. The reception was held at the Conservative Club.

Our Silver Grey Jaguar MK2 was the transport for Kate and Thanos' wedding in Caversham this weekend. After photos in a riverside park we drove the newly weds to Bix Manor for the reception.

We took the Daimler along to Quainton last week for the Bucks Railway Centre Wedding Fair. This is quite different to most wedding venues with some interesting distractions for your guests. Among the exhibitors at the fair were Allsorts Clarinet Ensemble who played two sets during the evening.

Our Daimler and Jaguar MK2 provided transport for BMX Professional Kelvin Batey's marriage to Emily this week. Dodging the April showers, the wedding ceremony was held at St Mary's church Harpsden. Afterwards we took Kelvin, Emily and family to the reception at the Great House Sonning.

We were back in Oxford this week for Claire and Simon's wedding at Lincoln College. This college is quite small and access is through a lane with a rising bollard to keep traffic out. Although the lane and college were picturesque the Jag had to be parked in a narrow alley opposite. 

Our Daimler provided the transport throughout the afternoon for Tim and Simi's wedding in Reading this week. Staying at the Forbury Hotel, we took the Bride to Shehnai in Reading for the ceremony. Tim and Simi then returned to the hotel for a change of clothes before returning to Shehnai for the reception. We also provided our evening service to take them back to their hotel at the end of the night.

Philip and Iona booked our Jaguar MK2 for their wedding in Ipsden this week. Iona's father's shoot trailer was used to ferry guests the short distance from the church to their house where the reception was held. The views from the field the marquee was pitched made for some stunning photos.   

Beautiful location for the wedding photos

We don't usually do wedding fairs but we will be at the Bucks Railway Centre in Quainton on April 20th. Admission and parking is free at what should prove to be an interesting venue. If you want to give our cars the once over this is an ideal opportunity. Also performing will be our very own Allsorts Clarinet Ensemble.

Abingdon weddings this week, Lyndsay and Dan were married at Casswell House Barn, Witney. Elley and Jim married in Radley and held their reception at Steventon House Hotel. In a bizarre coincidence, Raffy who was Elley and Jim's wedding car driver also plays Saxophone for the band booked for their reception, Abingdon Swingtime, so made an encore appearance on their wedding day.

After the Winter break we are about to embark on what looks to be another great season. The cars are ready to go and bookings are looking good. We still have some dates available throughout the year so drop us an email or call with your requirements. This year we have a brand new White VW 6 passenger people carrier available. Throughout the season we will be recording a selection of our weddings on the blog so keep dipping in.

You will see from the previous post that we have just completed the last wedding of the 2011 season. We do not operate the classics in the winter due to their vulnerability to salty roads and adverse weather. Thanks to all of our customers for choosing us it's been a great year. Our first wedding of 2012 is in March but we are open for enquiries and bookings throughout the winter so please call or email for a quote. We look forward to meeting all our new customers next year.

Lyndsay and Karl wanted their wedding transport to be a little different, so as well as hiring our Jaguar and Daimler we also prepared and chauffeured their VW split screen camper van as the Bridal Car. The vehicles created much interest amusing passers by outside the church in Benson. After the ceremony we transported the wedding party to the reception at Bix Manor.

Groom Warren will have no difficultly remembering his wedding anniversary to Sian having tied the knot on November 11^th 2011. Our Jaguar and Daimler conveyed the wedding party from Danesfield House Hotel to the church in the lovely village of Hambleden. The reception was held at the Old Bell Hurley. Thanks to Sian's mum, Sue for the 5 star review.

Thanks to Kate and James for the 5 star review  and photo following their October wedding in Henley. See 3 Mercs and a Jag posting earlier.

Thanks to Anna for the great review following her wedding to Ric held at Caswell House. See earlier posting.

Many thanks to Benn and Stella for their review on Freeindex.co.uk which was our 50th and upgrades our award status from Highly Recommended to Top Rated Company. Thank you to all our customers who have taken the time to submit a review.

James and Tamsin booked our Daimler for their wedding in the pretty village of Turville near Henley. Turville has been the location for many films and TV shows. The church they were married in was the one used in the Vicar of Dibley and the pub next door, the Bull & Butcher where they held their reception has also appeared in numerous productions including Midsomer Murders. 
On top of the hill that overlooks the village is the windmill featured in the classic film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Guests at Kate & James wedding in Henley didn't have to worry too much about transport as they laid on our Jaguar MK2 as the Bridal Car supported by 3 S Class Mercedes for the Bridesmaids and close family as well as 2 coaches. The wedding took place in blazing sunshine during the October heatwave in Henley and after photos by the river we took them on to the reception at Bix Manor.

Thanks to George for the review following his wedding to Nicky at Waltham St Lawrence where we provided our Jaguar and Daimler. See earlier post.

Thanks to James for the great comments in his review following his wedding to Natasha in July.

Thanks to David for the review he left following the supply of three vehicles for his wedding to Rachel. (See below)

Stella and Benn chose our Jaguar MK2 for their wedding in Wokingham. After the ceremony at All Saints Church we drove them to Cantley House Hotel for the reception. Despite the showers the weather improved for the photos.

Our Daimler was in attendance for Anna and Ric's civil wedding at Caswell Barns near Witney. This venue is in a lovely rural location and also provides accommodation.

Just outside Windsor off the busy A308 Maidenhead to Windsor Road lies the tiny village of Clewer. We provided Paul & Suzanne with our Jaguar MK2 for their Blue themed wedding at this pretty church. Paul knows his Jags, as well as owning a modern one he is a model and prop maker for film and TV and worked on the Morse series which featured a Jaguar MK2. The reception was held at Savill Gardens at Englefield Green.

This pub and church combo is in Burnham, just off the charming High Street.

Over the years we've noticed that just as every churchyard has a Yew tree, many churches have a pub next to or opposite them. Very useful for early arriving guests. This is the first in a series of such churches as and when we stumble across them.

Each year we attend an increasing number of Oxford City weddings, perhaps it's the Morse connection with the car. Typically these weddings involve one of the historic colleges and David and Galina's was no exception. If you ever wonder whether it's worth hiring a wedding car because you live so close to the venue this should give you encouragement. David and Galina live at Christ Church and their wedding and reception were also at

Our Daimler was in attendance at Rebecca and Ray's wedding in Maidenhead this week. We picked Rebecca and her Father up from the fine riverside B&B, Redroofs at Oldfield, which sadly was closing the next day. After the cermony at St Joseph's Maidenhead we drove the newly weds to the river where they boarded a boat to take them to their reception at Monkey Island.

We provided three vehicles for Rachel and David's midweek wedding in Hambleden. Rachel traveled to the church in our Daimler but on advice it was a sportier option, they decided to travel to the reception at Bix Manor in the Jaguar. We drove through the beautiful Chiltern Hills which surround Hambleden stopping at a bench on a hill near Skirmett where Rachel and David enjoyed the view and a glass of Champagne. 

Last weekend we provided our Jaguar Mk2 for Bethany and Simon's wedding at Holy Trinity Church Henley. This pretty church is tucked away up a small lane off Greys Road, it's off the tourist trail and probably unknown to many residents. This was only the second wedding we have covered at this location. If you get the chance wander up and take a look, it's a lovely quiet location in the middle of town.

This weekend we provided our Jaguar and Daimler for Nicky and George's wedding at Waltham St Lawrence. The wedding had a particular sporty theme as their friends created an arch using Lacrosse Sticks and Cycle Wheels reflecting the Bride and Groom's sporting passions.

Drinkers outside the lovely Old Bell Inn next to the church had plenty to watch, in addition to the arrival of the wedding cars, the crew of an old steam traction engine had st

Sharon and Sam were married at St Peter's Church Marlow this week. We picked up Sharon and other members of the wedding party from the Compleat Angler Hotel on the Bisham side of the river and ferried them over the bridge to the Church. The weather was perfect so after the ceremony the newly-weds walked down to the river to be collected by a launch to take them back over to the Hotel.

Earlier this year we provided two vehicles, including our Silver Grey Jaguar Mk2, for Louise and Edward's wedding. They have been kind enough to send me some of the photos with the car. The marriage was at All Saint's Church Swallowfield and the reception at Warbrook House, Eversley.

Thanks to Claire's Father, Bob, for the Testimonial following Claire and James wedding in Streatley (See below).
