A Chauffeur for Your Wedding Day in London

A wedding day runs on a schedule that cannot slip - the venue, the registrar, the photographer and a hundred guests are all fixed points. A chauffeur exists to protect that schedule, not just to look good in photographs.

Most couples we work with book two cars: one for the bride or groom arriving, and a second, quieter run for parents or the wedding party so nobody is stood on a pavement waiting for a lift. Both are quoted as a single fixed price, confirmed before the day, so there is nothing to negotiate when everyone is already stressed enough.

Timing a Wedding Booking

We build in generous buffer time around a wedding booking - extra minutes at the getting-ready address, at the ceremony, and between ceremony and reception if they're at different venues. If a service overruns, which they often do, the car and driver simply wait; that time is built into the price from the outset, not billed as an extra.

For the getaway from the reception, many couples book a second, later pickup rather than keeping one car on standby all evening - it's usually cheaper and means the driver isn't idling in a car park for six hours.

Choosing the Car

A Mercedes E-Class or S-Class in black or a dark colour is the most requested pairing for wedding photography - traditional without looking like a hire car. For a larger wedding party travelling together, our Mercedes V-Class seats up to eight in one vehicle, which keeps a group of bridesmaids or groomsmen together instead of splitting across several taxis.

Ribbons are fine - just let us know in advance so the driver can fit them before arrival rather than in a layby outside the venue.

What It Costs

A half-day wedding booking (roughly four hours, covering the main arrival and any local photography stops) typically runs from around £220-£320 in an executive saloon, more for an S-Class or V-Class.
