All prices are fully-inclusive for the exclusive use of my properly maintained, prepared and decorated Rolls-Royce which is driven by a courteous and experienced chauffeur who will be wearing the correct uniform and cap bearing a cockade. Should you wish to have the Rolls decorated in ribbons to match your colour-scheme, these will be provided (so long as the colour is available) at absolutely no extra charge.  Similarly, where you wish your chauffeur to wear a tie to match your colour-scheme, he will; I stock several colours, but if I don't have your colour, I will buy one, providing Marks and Spencer, or other local stores stock it! Prices shown also include a second journey from the departure address to the ceremony venue, providing conditions and distance make this possible and, where both the ceremony and the reception take place at a single venue, a short drive will be offered for the bride and the groom between the ceremony and the reception absolutely free!: this provides  space for the newly-married couple to 'chill-out' prior to having photographs taken and meeting their guests. It also allows the groom to travel, with his wife, in the Rolls! Even if a drive is not required, the car will not leave until after the ceremony so that the bride and groom can be photographed with it, unless this is not required.


*Supplement for New Year's Eve £15.
**Supplement for Bank Holidays January 1st , Easter Monday, May Day and August £10. Boxing Day £20.
***Extra miles are charged at £1 per mile. On weddings my Rolls returns 11 MPG, so fuel alone is 55p. per mile.
Where the mileage only goes 3/4 miles over your package, the additional charge will not be applied.
If you require the Rolls for the entire day (e.g. Asian weddings), please email full details.

Bentleys are often the preferred wedding transport for the groom.  These fine cars are frequently owned by enthusiasts who are usually members of the RREC and who treat their cars extremely well. My own Rolls is serviced every 3,000 miles by a qualified, RR & B factory trained, technician who has cared for the car for about the last 15 years! However, sadly not all Rolls-Royces and Bentleys offered as wedding cars in Hampshire are so carefully looked after.  Many are very high mileage motor cars that do not have a full service history showing its maintenence since new.  Many have been poorly painted (often in white) and have tired interiors!  I have seen cars which have been 'touched up' with a aerosol can and can think of one occasion when the car's wipers packed up in torential rain when on its way to the church. I was following and my car just took the storm in its stride! Any car can break down, but it is possible to ensure that this is far less likely with proper maintenance! And, it's not always the case that hiring from a wedding car company will ensure that there will be a back-up car available sould things go wrong; companies do not keep a spare - all cars go out if all are booked. So far as this is concerned, should the worst happen, I do try to have a contingency plan in place!
