What we cover
Guildford weddings rarely run as a single journey. These are the six things couples book us for here, planned as one schedule with one fixed fare so you are not briefing several drivers on the morning.
To the ceremony in good time, then on to the reception, with the car waiting through the service.
Ribbon is fitted to every wedding car and colour-matched when you give us your scheme ahead of the day.
The bride from the hairdresser, flowers between addresses, then ceremony and reception on one booking.
An Executive or VIP car for the couple, with extra cars or a Minibus for parents and bridesmaids.
Pickups from Guildford station and nearby hotels, timed alongside the main wedding-day schedule.
A late-night leg from the reception straight to your hotel or to the airport.
Who books it
Between the Norman keep of Guildford Castle and the cathedral on Stag Hill, the town gives couples plenty of settings for a ceremony or photographs. These are the three kinds of Guildford wedding we plan for.
A register office or church in town, with the drive to a reception venue timed around the local traffic.
Relatives arriving by train or staying in hotels, collected on the same schedule as the couple.
Couples who want one chauffeur from the hairdresser in the morning to the hotel at night.
Fixed fares
We do not publish wedding prices, because every Guildford wedding runs to its own plan. Instead you get one fixed fare for the whole day before you book, and that is the figure you pay.
The hours you need, the number of cars, the class of each car and the distance between your venues.
Your fare is confirmed when you book. A long service or extra time for photographs does not change it.
Ribbon is included. Flowers or other extras are agreed up front, never added on the morning.
Pickups and routes
Guildford sits on the A3, which runs north to M25 Junction 10, so venues in town and in the villages around it are easy to reach. These are the pickups a Guildford wedding party typically needs.
In the town centre. Give us the train times and guests are met and brought straight to the venue.
The bride’s family home, the groom’s hotel, or the house where the bridal party is getting ready.
On the edge of town, an easy meeting point to describe to guests who do not know the lanes.
Neighbouring towns and villages, collected on the same wedding-day schedule.
About 27 miles from Guildford, typically 35–50 minutes by road, for family flying in for the day.
Guildford to Heathrow →About 36 miles from Guildford, typically 45–65 minutes by road, for family flying in for the day.
Guildford to Gatwick →How it works
Four steps, started however suits you: the form on this page, a WhatsApp message, or a call to the booking line. The earlier you send the plan, the easier the timings are to hold.
Date, venues, pickup addresses, guests arriving by train and any child seats.
We agree the cars, the class and the timings, with one fixed fare for the day.
The car arrives dressed in your colours, in good time for the first pickup.
The car waits through the service, then takes you on for the celebrations.
Questions
The Executive is a comfortable, understated saloon that suits most ceremonies and looks smart in the photographs. The VIP class steps up for couples who want a more formal arrival, often at a venue with a long drive or a grand entrance. Tell us the venue and we will suggest which fits.
It depends on how long you need the car, how many cars the party needs and the class you choose. We do not publish prices. Send us the date and both venues on WhatsApp or through the form and we reply with one fixed fare, ribbon included.
Yes. We regularly book several vehicles for one wedding so the whole party travels together, not just the couple. Every car works to the same schedule, and a Minibus can carry a larger group in one run instead of splitting them across cars.
Yes. Tell us when you book so we bring the right seat and allow a little extra time to fit it before the first pickup.
Yes. Guildford station is in the town centre and plenty of wedding guests are not local, so we build station and hotel pickups into the same wedding-day schedule as the couple’s car. Give us the train times or hotel names and the cars are there when they are needed.
Yes. Some couples finish the day with a late-night leg straight to the airport for the honeymoon. Heathrow is about 27 miles from Guildford, typically 35–50 minutes by road, and Gatwick about 36 miles. We fix that leg in the same fare.
As soon as your date is set. Wedding-season weekends fill quickly and we take bookings well over a year ahead. We always try to fit in later requests where we can, but booking early gives you the widest choice of cars and timings.
The cars
A spotless car, a suited chauffeur holding the door, and ribbon in your colours. We book the class that suits the venue and the party, from an Executive saloon to a Minibus for the family.
Send us the date, both venues and who needs collecting. We come back with the cars, the timings and one fixed fare, with ribbon in your colours included.
