I hope you might help as I have to start my market research, only 2 questions here tho

If you or your Daughter were getting married which car would you most likely wish to use/ hire?

How much would you be prepared to spend on a chauffeur limo'hire. (pickup from home/drive to Church/drive Bride & Groom to reception)?

Suffolk area.

What a question..

I'd have a Bentley Blower, and would'nt want to spend more than £500 for the whole afternoon.

The cost is not something i've really thought about too be honest.

Thanks so far people, I know its a bit of a obscure question, but serious replies will really help me out here.

Just see the bride now in her big white macaroon getting into a 'Gullwing'.

You see loads of R/R Shadows on wedding runs ??

I was actually being serious, My Aunt used one as her wedding car and I know of several others who wanted to use one at their weddings.... Of course they are all mad, what about a Citroen Traction Avant...

Got married last month in a fantastic 1964 Bentley S3.
Chauffeur even gave it some welly en route to the reception. Paid £280 for 2 journeys to church & 1 journey to reception.

Was almost swayed by a guy who told me he had a mint Duesenberg...until I saw the car. It was a very bad replica of a gorgeous car. He wanted £400 for the day.

In the end we got an S class Merc from reception to hotel for extra £40



edited to add it looked a bit like this one www.sussexchauffeurservices.co.uk/vehicles/beauford1930s.html

I got married in a white Silver Shadow Rolls......


All was going well until it pulled up after the wedding, for photographs in a local park, and my wife's 17 year old brother ran into the back of it with his beat up beetle..........

Thank you again, please keep them coming. I have seen a few Replica cars doing wedding runs, I guess you get reliability, but then again.

I think most people who book a limo expect the real thing, I certainly would'nt even think about using rep's. Think I might try this thread on G.G.
