Q What should be kept in mind regarding booking transport for our special day?
A Andrew Grieve says: With many vehicles at your disposal, including vintage and classic cars, London taxis and VW Campervans, the first decision is to select a vehicle that complements your theme. This choice will set the tone for your special day.

Exploring various options and reading reviews from past clients about the cars and their drivers is crucial. Look for a company with a proven track record that can easily handle the logistics of your wedding day, ensuring a stress-free experience. If the company is friendly and can advise on how to make your day 'flow' well, they'll give you professional service on your big day.

When booking a wedding car, ensure it has enough head and leg room for your needs and large enough doors to get in, but without any problems, in a wedding dress with a train. Also, consider any high hairstyles or headdresses.

Check the car's seating capacity and whether the company can safely transport children by providing a suitable car or booster seat. The law requires this up to the age of 12. If the company is happy to provide more than one trip to the venue, check for sufficient time for that extra journey.

Finally, suppose the company is happy to provide extra services such as a choice of colour for wedding ribbons and bows or offer a Champagne stop between the wedding venue and reception. In that case, it may make your day even more special. Just remember that champagne or bubbly will need to be provided by the client because of licensing regulations.
