If you are considering a
Rolls-Royce for your wedding,
the following thoughts may help:
-
You may wish to consider alternatives to a white car - although thought by many to be traditional, the 'tradition' really only dates back to the '60s. The problem is that there are so many shades of white. At best the bridal gown will be indistinct against a white car - at worst the car may make the dress look grubby! Try this experiment. Take a sheet of white paper and hold it up against various white objects around the house - you will see the problem for yourself. Even with a coloured wedding gown, a white car is considered by some to be somewhat passé. Many professional photographers advise against white cars with white dresses. Beware wedding car companies suggesting you change photographer - who would you rather trust?

If you prefer an older Rolls-Royce for your big day, please do contact us. We have many friends with 'Proper Motor Cars' and may well be able to help.

Never book a car without first viewing it. Although most firms are reputable, there are some companies and individuals who buy rusty wrecks and fail to maintain them correctly. We are proud of 'The Blue Car' and will be delighted to show it to you by appointment. We are long-standing members of the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club.

It may be worth approaching a private owner with a nice car rather than a company where profit is the main raison d'être. We did not buy the car for wedding hire. We offer it for weddings because we have had so many requests. Also, of course, the fee makes a small contribution towards the not inconsiderable running costs. Mainly though, we do it because we enjoy it!
-
Check how many weddings the car will be used for in a day. We will not book more than one, so we will be in no rush to leave.
-
Beware of extra charges - for example, additional journeys or time for photographs. Subject to distance, traffic and your time constraints we are happy to transport the Bridesmaids and/or the Mother of the Bride, if required, at no extra charge.
-
We are flexible - it is your big day and we would like to play a small part in the smooth running of the occasion. We will help in any way we can, including waiting outside with the car during the service to direct any latecomers.
-
We will do a dummy run prior to the wedding to ensure good timekeeping on the day.
-
Rest assured that it will not rain on your special day. We do, however, carry large white and ivory umbrellas for shade if necessary!
-
The Blue Car has lambswool rugs, footstools, full magnolia hide, air conditioning, satellite navigation and Sundym glass.
-
Do you have a date in mind? Subject to availability, we will be happy to reserve the car for you for a period of 10 days, without payment or obligation, to enable you to book the church and reception venue.
