Wedding Day Guest Transport
A discreet shuttle rotation between hotel and venue for elderly relatives, parents of the bride, and out-of-town guests — one chauffeur, one number.
Wedding logistics fall over on the guest side: someone's mother can't do the mile up from the church, the American cousins don't drive on the left, and dad's brothers land at LBA at 3pm. A single chauffeured shuttle solves all three.
Booked by the mother of the bride or the wedding planner, usually eight weeks out. Different from the bridal car — this is family logistics, not the ceremony car.
Rotating: hotel → parish church → reception venue → hotel; typical loop 8–20 miles across the day.
The silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space. Share passenger and luggage details when enquiring.
Booked as a block — usually 09:00 to 22:00 with the driver on-station. We build the timetable with the planner two weeks out.
£95/hr with 8-hour minimum, or £850–£1,400 flat depending on distances and vehicle count.
- Named driver in a dark suit, not livery
- Printed timetable in the vehicle, laminated on the sun-visor
- Discreet umbrella and passenger-side step-out assistance
- Cold water and mints on both rows
- Direct WhatsApp with the wedding planner all day
We hold parking at Middleton Lodge / Grantley Hall / Rise Hall by prior arrangement
Confetti and lipstick are dark-suit hazards — we carry lint rollers
Our silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space, suited to executive groups, airport transfers, weddings and events.
How many trips does one driver run in a day?
Between 8 and 14 short legs. If your venue and hotel are more than 8 miles apart we usually recommend a second vehicle so nobody waits.
Are you the same as the bridal car?
Our silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space, suited to executive groups, airport transfers, weddings and events. Describe all proposed wedding movements when enquiring so their sequence and suitability can be confirmed.
Can you take a wheelchair passenger?
Foldable wheelchairs — yes, in the V-Class boot. Fixed-frame powered chairs — no; we'll help you source a specialist WAV.
