Gary Ellard tells us more. What vehicles are in your fleet? In total the fleet now consists of five exceptional examples of the iconic London taxi, covering the 1955 vintage style FX4 London cab to the more contemporary TX4 model still in service today. How many people can you transport on the big day? All vehicles offer space for five passengers, in a rear passenger compartment with the chauffeur separated in their own driver’s compartment. The face-to-face passenger seating incorporated in the design of these vehicles allows the wedding party to easily converse on their way to the wedding. With retractable seating when not in full occupation the taxis also provide a large square floor space, which along with large wide-opening doors, make them perfectly wedding-dress friendly. Do you offer any added extras? Traditional vehicle ribbons, grill bow and flowers come as standard for all clients. As does a driver in traditional chauffeur attire with a cap. Those having their preparations, ceremony and reception at different locations are also provided with champagne for their post-ceremony journey. Also available is the option either to have the vehicle for transport to the ceremony or to retain it for pictures. This is ideal if your “I dos” and celebrations are at the same location. Don’t forget, these vehicles will be the place to gather final thoughts, share private moments with the loved one giving you away as well as with your new spouse. These short drives away from it all will be so memorable. What can we expect? The taxis are priced on a duration hire basis rather than distance, which offers additional flexibility. They can often accommodate two trips to the ceremony, bridesmaids then bridal travel. They’re also able to take a scenic route onwards to the reception, allowing guests to arrive first. What’s your top tip when it comes to booking wedding transport? Leaving the vehicle at the ceremony is one of those great photographic moments. It’s amazing how the height of the seat from the floor can assist you in doing this gracefully. Look for something where the seat isn’t too low to the floor, and has handles you can grip for an effortless exit. Images courtesy of Getty Images 64
