The 10 Best Wedding Cars
Once his patience has been stretched to the limit by teeth-gnashing wedding planning, a generous helping of wedding speeches anxiety and the interminable faffing about with wedding attire, the mentally destroyed groom deserves a treat. Like the best wedding transport around, say.
For his delectation, here’s our rundown of the very best vehicles with va va voom. We’ve also got his sales pitch to the missus covered since it ain’t gonna be cheap…
1) Rolls-Royce Phantom
A stately legacy of the era when automobiles were so much more than just a means of getting from A to B, the legendary Phantom is the Daddy of wedding cars. It’s a masterclass in opulence and not for the timid.
COST: Around £695 for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: Is she into fashion? According to Alex Drummond, head honcho at Limo Broker, it’s the UK’s most popular wedding car. Clearly, it’d be a terrible faux pas to miss this trend. Alternatively, if she harbours a crush on Clarkson (and many ladies do…), tell her he thinks the Phantom’s “utterly and fabulously exquisite.”
2) 1940s Austin Princess
Don’t be put off by the A-word – this dashing automobile is a world away from the spectacularly drab Allegro and Maestro.
COST: Around £450 for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: If schnookums is a fluffy bunny type, say it’s the perfect car since she’s your ickle princess. If that’s too stomach-churning to even contemplate, big up the spacious interior that’ll accommodate a bride with a long train plus a huge gaggle of bridesmaids.
3) Bentley Arnage
Only available for hire from a select few companies (including Limo Broker), the Arnage has a commanding, manly presence (ggrrrr) and is perfect if you fancy something prestigious.
COST: Around £450 for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: Focus on its exceptional good looks and explain that anything else just wouldn’t do her justice. If she’s demanding details, mention the super-soft carpets, magnolia interior and walnut veneers. Frugal brides-to-be will appreciate the price tag – it’s a fair bit cheaper than a Phantom.
4) Aston Martin
Winning wheels for the discerning Groom and Best Man – guaranteed to add some ‘wow factor’ to your Big Day. And if your surname happens to be Bond, it’s a no-brainer.
COST: Around £495+ for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: Don’t suppose she’s a Daniel Craig fan? If she’s immune to 007’s charms, then wheel out the old patriotic ‘supporting Great British business’ line.
5) Beauford – 1930s Open Tourer
This vintage lovely re-captures a bygone era in unbeatable style, if you’re yearning for a bit of retro.
COST: Around £450 for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: Any ideas if her wedding dress is meringue-ish? Beaufords offers easy access to brides with massive frocks. Movie buffs should be reminded that this style of car was favoured by Clark Gable and other Hollywood hotshots of the day.
6) Mercedes Maybach
Rather like a private jet for the road, the unassuming exterior hides endless mod cons, like the natty panoramic glass roof that can be switched from clear to opaque.
COST: Around £350 for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: Blather on about the reclining seats that boast massage and foot rests and how there’s even a mini fridge in the centre console for that all-important champers.
7) Maserati Quattroporte
Steady yourselves, speedsters. This baby can reach a top speed of 171mph – perfect for last minute escapes if the nerves prove insurmountable.
COST: Around £300+ for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: Inform Clarksonettes that Jeremy says it’s “one of the coolest cars ever made” and the perfect motor “if you want to be driven”.
8) Bentley Flying Spur
Blessed with acceleration of breath-taking force and every conceivable gizmo, gadget fiends won’t be able to resist this beastie.
COST: Around £495 for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: She’ll be bang on trend with this Limo Broker favourite – it’s their second most popular wedding car. It’s lovely and quiet, too. And relax…
9) Rolls Royce Silver Cloud
A handsome solution for blokes who like to think big, these giants are always in demand due to their sheer presence and stature.
COST: Around £425 for 3 hours
SALES PITCH: The Cloud is irresistible to tradition junkies since it represents everything vintage. Just like your beloved, it oozes style, luxury and elegance. Silver Clouds are also famed for their reliability and (almost) silent engine, which should go down well.
10) Horse and Carriage
Well spotted. Technically, Dobbin isn’t a car but he’s still a stylish and memorable mode of transport. Trust us – simply by suggesting it you’ll earn an astonishing number of brownie points.
COST: Around £500 (unless you’re a toff and already have one stabled at your mansion)
SALES PITCH: You won’t need our help with this one – it doesn’t get more romantic than this (horse poo aside).

I loved the part about the sales pitch. Don’t think I can really top “it doesn’t get more romantic than this (horse poo aside”. If you like your wedding cars horse poo free, but still unique have a look at our fleet of White London Wedding Taxis
