All buses come with the standard 'Wedding Special' sign, and personalised signs can be arranged upon request for a small extra fee.

Drinks Service in this Routemaster Bus:  

If you'd like to provide celebratory drinks to your wedding guests this is perfectly fine but we do ask you to be aware of a few requirements.  Due to UK licensing laws you will need to provide your own drinks whether it be Champagne, Wine or soft drinks.  You must arrange to have them delivered to the Routemaster's base a few days before the hire day so they can be suitably chilled and loaded aboard for the day of the hire. You will also need to provide glasses, but due to safety issues they must be plastic or paper cups, No breakable glass.  On the day, the drinks will be served to your guests by the Bus Crew as they board the bus.  All glasses, empty bottles and any other debris will be collected and disposed of by the Bus Crew at the end of the trip.  The cost of this additional service is £80.

Excellent service! Would recommend to anyone considering.

The car arrived promptly 15minutes before the allotted time. The driver, Peter, was very professional and was very kind and understanding. He even let me direct him a longer route, down some country lanes, not just direct to the venue. I honestly had the best time ever. Thank you!

The Rolls Royce Ghost Series II was stunning. Our driver Jay arrived 45 minutes early and was super helpful in every way. The whole package was perfect. We would highly recommend Premier Carriage Wedding Cars and especially this wonderful vehicle and the driver Jay.

We hired the Beaufort 4 Door Wedding Car for our special day, and it was absolutely perfect! The car itself was stunning—elegant, comfortable, and a real head-turner. It added such a classic touch to our wedding. Our driver was fantastic— professional, punctual, and incredibly friendly, making the journey even more enjoyable. Everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!"
