Vintage Dreams Wedding Car Motor Company Full Description
Vintage Dreams Wedding Car Motor Company has a fleet of 1930s & 1940s style vehicles, coach built specifically to travel in style for picture perfect wedding transport. All of our cars and omnibus (bus) are exceptionally spacious and are based upon modern engines and running gear that provide robust, reliable and comfortable operation but with the classic appearance of a bygone elegant age. These superbly presented vehicles are kept in excellent condition and inspection is welcomed. The fleet ranges from a long wheel based open top tourer, Imperial Landaulettes (folding rear quarter roof) which can carry up to 6 passengers (excluding driver), a regal style limousine with folding rear roof and an omnibus (bus) with interior wood panelling that can carry 8 passengers. We supply ribbons and handmade bows (for you to retain as keepsakes) to compliment the colour scheme chosen for the wedding day. Our chauffeur pool is a friendly team and they provide a courteous service dedicated to ensuring everything goes smoothly and on time. Only one booking per car per day is accepted so there will never be any pressure on time. A champagne opening service can also be provided, and all of the cars have built in bottle holders or ice buckets. The vehicles are equipped with modern sound systems with Bluetooth and memory stick interfaces, so you can play your personal choice of music. As a professional wedding transport business, we carry fully comprehensive fleet insurance. This includes public liability and wedding cover. We recommend a personal viewing appointment of the vehicles at our transport depot near Manningtree railway station. Most people can’t believe how gorgeous & spacious the vehicles are until they have seen them with their own eyes.

We can only say the service was excellent...
“We can only say the service was excellent. Our driver even took an extra mile of running back to pick up my bridal bouquet as I had forgotten them at our home. Please send our thank you once again. Brides are so preoccupied on their wedding day. The driver was patient, it was the most hottest wedding day but he handled everything smoothly until he dropped us back home. We can’t thank him enough. We also didn’t realise how spacious Lilly is, until l actually sat in there with my little ones, and my sister. We would recommend Vintage Dreams cars to anyone. How outstanding it is that we started the service and therapeutic relationship with you from the day we made our enquiry which lasted until on our special day. Exceptional!. Thank you”

“I arranged to hire Milly from Vintage Dreams as a surprise for my wife to be. The pre-wedding communication was excellent and the service on the day was exceptional. The driver, Mark, arrived early and was very helpful and courteous. My wife said it was an inspired choice on my part.”

Driving to my wedding ceremony in the beautiful vintage car...
“Driving to my wedding ceremony in the beautiful vintage car (Lilly), with the roof down and some of my favourite music blaring from the sound system was amazing. Sitting next to my dad and getting excited waves and calls of congratulations from passers by made me feel like an absolute princess and after the wedding, being chauffeured to our reception by Nigel and Lilly was an experience neither I or my husband will ever forget. Nigel was kind and expertly professional and the car was stunningly beautiful, comfortable and luxurious . Thank you so much, you really helped make our wedding day memorable. Thanks so much to you and Lilly!”

Amazing service....
“Nigel and co made our wedding Day so special with the beautiful cars Lilly & Milly – they were gorgeous and made our day. I was in a panic as it was raining and I did not want to get wet but Nigel had come prepared with large ivory umbrellas and escorted me safely to the car, so I stayed dry. I thought that was amazing. Also a few days before our wedding we received an amazing card from Vintage Dreams with some lovely words and a lucky sixpence, that was also a beautiful touch. Thank you so much for your amazing service and wish you all the best for the future. With love”

Wow! What a fantastic car Lilly is...
“Wow! What a fantastic car Lilly is, it certainly turned some heads along the high street and got the bride safely to the church on time! Nigel was a great driver and very attentive to our needs during the day. We felt like royalty as we left the church with the top down! We would definitely recommend Vintage Dreams.“

We hired 'Emily ' for our wedding day
“We hired ‘Emily’ for our wedding day and were delighted with both the service from Nigel and the car itself. Nigel provides a reliable, professional, yet friendly service. This was especially welcome as we had rearranged the wedding at very short notice. The car was spotless and provides great photo opportunities, especially with the roof down! Thanks again Nigel for all your help. We really appreciated you going the extra mile and helping the day run smoothly.”

We had the car Belle, and she was beautiful.
“We had the car Belle, and she was beautiful. The chauffeur was dressed for the occasion and made us feel very special. We had so many comments on our wedding day about the beautiful Belle and she really made our day. From the time we spoke with Nigel till our wedding day the communication was out of this world. Could not have asked for more. This made our wedding a magical one. Would highly recommend!!!!“

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

When the bridal party was one hour late as the bride's dress split! The seamstress had to be called out. We called the groom waiting at the church to advise him and he said not to worry as he was watching all the comings and goings over his RING doorbell. When we eventually got to the Church we said to the bride, 'Look you are so late now another five minutes won't matter' and made sure she was calm before getting her out of the car!

Plan and book suppliers early.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Describe your typical process with a couple.

When we first receive an enquiry we like to engage using WhatsApp messages or a call to ensure that we fully understand what is needed so we can provide an accurate quotation. If circumstances allow we then prefer that customers come and visit out transport hub to inspect the vehicles. This way they understand their qualities and what is right for them plus the full service offered. If a visit is not possible then we can use a video call instead.

We transported the groom's party and the bridal party plus Mums & Dads in four vehicles including two dogs!

What is your dream car and why?

Pick your own style and embrace it!

What is your favourite movie car chase?

The Italian Job (original 1969) BUT fortunately we are more sedate and careful with our passengers
