TRANSPORT 57 Your carriage awaits The experts’ guide to booking your big-day transport Whether you’re spending the day all in one location or moving from ceremony to celebrations, chances are there’ll be some transport required. Even if it’s only from home or hotel to the altar or getting guests back home safely at the end of the night, your wedding wheels should be high up on the agenda. After all, the ceremony can’t start until you’re there to say, “I do”! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION As each year passes more and more couples choose to tie the knot and celebrate in a single location whether that be a barn, hotel or manor house. This has inevitably led to a decrease in demand for wedding transport options forcing many suppliers of these services to cease trading, but The Ashdown Classic Wedding Car Collection has the answer. “As a group of private vintage and classic car owners, we primarily use our vehicles for rallies, social events and trips to the pub. We also love to share the enjoyment of our cars with others via weddings, and the income helps us to maintain them,” Nick Lacy-Hulbert explains. If opting for single-site nuptials has left even a trace of regret about not getting to experience that grand entrance in a wedding car, did you know that this needn’t be the case? “We’ve seen how full on one-stop weddings can be for the marrying couple, from early morning until late at night,” Nick says. “There are often still logistics involved in terms of rearranging rooms or relocating from the ceremony to reception room. So, we now offer packages for such couples, as well as the full traditional service for church and registry office weddings.” The Trip and Photos package, for example, gives you both a chance to get away from it all on a 15-minute round trip post ceremony as you take in the momentous event that just took place. After all, this could be the only point in the day that you’re able to spend alone together. As you return, you’ll be greeted by your guests, congregated happily, drinks in Grange Bridal Cars © www.thesoulofmylens.co.uk The Ashdown Classic Wedding Car Collection The Ashdown Classic Wedding Car Collection Southcoast Motor Services
