We all know the importance of making an entrance. Arriving at your wedding isn’t just an exciting moment - it can also set the tone for the entire ceremony, so it’s important to choose your wedding car hire wisely.

Cute compact cars, vintage vehicles and quirky throwbacks are all in right now. Not only are they more affordable than a Rolls Royce, they can also act as wonderful photo props - the perfect way to make your wedding unique and totally you.
