Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 81)

RAY’S TOP PICK... “Our favourite car is the 1937 Rolls Royce, it took the longest to restore, the engineering of this car is incredible and it is a 1930s car capable of cruising at 60mph − don’t worry, we would never drive at this speed for a wedding! So an 83-year-old car that you could, if you wish to, take on long journeys in comfort − it even has an intercom from the rear seat to the driver, incredible 1930s technology. “Our Triumph Roadster is a great car for a wedding, especially on a sunny day as it is an open-top car, it is especially suited if the happy couple want something a little bit different and unusual and the view over the long bonnet is stunning ! “Having said the above, really all the cars are our favourite, they all mean a lot to us and they are all very rare. All the cars came to us in a state of disrepair, we have restored all of them ourselves and now they are stunning − interestingly, whilst we gathered our collection of vintage Citroens from all over the UK, they were all built in the county we live in − Buckinghamshire.” Contact: 01908 366 766/07578 038 491 | wedding-car.co.uk Ray Cope, “ Our most memorable time during the many years we have offered our cars for weddings was at our own daughter’s wedding, when she elected to utilise all five of our vintage cars for her wedding. The procession of all the cars really caught everyone’s attention on the way to Wrest Park, what an entrance. Having driven at many wed- dings, this wedding was also the first time I had sat in the back of the car as father-of-the-bride, a very enjoyable experience indeed.” Two Hearts Wedding Cars was started by Graham Burford in 2012 and was born from a passion for cars and setting up a wedding car business was the perfect way for others to enjoy the vehicles as well. “We like to think that the service that we offer goes past the expectations of our customers,” says Graham. “From the very first contact we like to give our full attention which is carried all the way through to the wedding day. “We carry out trial runs of the wedding route to check access and to time the journey so that on the wedding day everything is as relaxed as possible, the cars all carry fresh chilled mineral water, umbrellas and tissues – a helpful chauffeur is always on hand to assist where needed. “From the range of cars that we offer we like to think that there is a car suitable for everyone and every budget, from the timeless classics to the modern and, also the more unusual.” TWO HEARTS WEDDING CARS THE CARS... There’s currently seven cars in the Two Hearts Wedding Cars fleet which are: 1. 1945 Standard Flying 12, gives a very period feel to a special day. 2. 1963 Fiat 600 (original multipla) very unusual and popular choice as it adds a fun retro feel. 3. Daimler DS420 a large multi seat car which has served dignitaries and royalty for many years. 4. Lincoln Excalibur an imposing stretched limousine which has been hand finished creating a bespoke interior and roof line. 5. Chrysler 300c a nice executive car suitable for all occasions, without blowing the budget. 6. Bentley Flying Spur the long wheelbase gives plenty of legroom and is the true meaning of luxury. If you don’t deserve a Bentley on your wedding day when do you? 7. For the groom to make a memorable entrance there is the thunderous ’90s Chevrolet Camaro, an American sports car that has style. GRAHAM’S TOP PICK.... “To choose a favourite car would be impossible, as each one has a special place,” shares Graham. “Be it the luxury and refinement of the Bentley or the unique style of our Lincoln Excalibur each one of our cars bring a different element, which gives a special feeling.” Contact: 01280 702 029/07815 963 471 | twoheartsweddingcars.co.uk 96
