Mr & Mrs Byrne

I contacted Clive back in February of 23, from the get go he was fantastic. Clive taking into consideration of the current financial climate un-prompted reduced his deposit fee in half and allowed me to make regular small monthly payments to help spread out the cost if his services to which we were grateful with the mounting costs of planning a wedding. Clive was very responsive to emails replying within 24 hours and often within a few hours this gave us great peace of mind. Making payments were easy and each time a payment was made a revised invoice was emailed over clearly stating any remaining costs. A few days prior to the wedding, Clive contacted me to inform me of timings again and intended weather forecasts for the day. On the day of the wedding Clive arrived early and stated there was no rush and to come out when ready. Clive was smartly dressed and his car was spotless. Clive helped me in and out of the car making sure my dress was all tucked in and that i was comfortable. Clive went above and beyond my expectations making sure my train was perfect before i walked down the aisle and even taking some photo’s for ourselves as well. He then drove us on our champagne tour (included in the price) and got us to our reception venue on time according to what we had discussed. Clive again took a few more photos alongside our photographer before leaving us to the rest of our day. Clive was exceptionally professional and made polite conversation. We would both highly recommend Clive as your wedding chauffeur nothing was too much and for the services he provided it was money very well spent.

Thank you Clive for making our transportation needs seamless!

Abbie and Alan's big day

From the first contact with Clive about his jaguar car for our wedding until the last moments off our wedding drive finishing the whole service I was delivered was professional but equally fun. Our driver was called Roger and he helped with my nerves and made me feel completely at ease. I would recommend Leicester wedding cars to absolutely anyone. 5* from me

Fantastic, friendly, reliable

If you want a reliable man to get you to your wedding chose Clive. Our day started perfect. Clive was on time, super friendly, the car was beautiful, he took my handbag back to the car so I didn't have to carry it at the registry office, nothing was any trouble, great communication throughout, champagne on the way to the venue. It was just perfect. He even went out of his way to tell some guests that arrived late to go straight into the Cedar room as they were waiting outside.

Absolutely Brilliant

I actually can't rate this high enough. Clive and his Son absolutely made our day. They were professional and they made us feel so very special. They helped to calm nerves, brilliant at fixing button holes, thanks Clive 😊. Anticipated every move, right down to the very much needed sip of water before I entered the Registry Office. The cars were beautiful and we felt so privileged to be photographed in the cars with our immediate family. Definitely recommend for any special occasion.

Prom Night

Met Clive by chance as I came out of work. He was sat in the Beetle which was decorated for a wedding. Hadn't arranged any transport for my daughters prom at that point and luckily there was availability.

Nothing was too much trouble and everything went to plan. Clive arrived on time and allowed time for photos before leaving. He was very professional, and held the doors open for his passengers, both on pick up and drop off at the venue.

I found the price to be very reasonable and would highly recommend Leicester Wedding Cars.

Thank you Clive.

Amazing Service

We booked Leicester Wedding Cars as a surprise for our son and our now daughter in law mainly it was the Jaguar XJ we wanted, although out of our area they agreed to our request, The arrangements were straight forward and the company made some lovely suggestions for the day, On the day we had the nicest gentleman attend and did everything he said he would and he was an added bonus who helped the day become even more special. Leicester Wedding Cars come highly recommended from The O'Hara family.

Absolutely brilliant

I hired the Jaguar for my son and his girlfriend to take them to their prom. The car was immaculate. The driver arrived promptly at the time arranged and was brilliant in every respect and really looked after them. I would fully recommend.

An absolute delight!

Well what can I say?! I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Leicester Wedding Cars.
Clive is an absolute delight. He is such a lovely person and very professional and I am so pleased that he was able to play a part in my big day.
Nothing was too much and he went above and beyond my expectations. Especially when he came back to drop my lucky horse shoe round, as I had left it in his car by accident. After giving Clive a call the next day, to see if I had left anything behind in his car, he gave me a call back straight the way and offered to bring it back round there and then. I could not believe it! He is such a gentleman.
I would absolutely recommend Leicester Wedding Cars to anyone looking for a chauffeur driven car, as the service and professionalism was second to none. He takes great pride in his business and it very much shows. Thank you very much!

Excellent service helped make our day special!

Clive provided an excellent friendly service. He was punctual, polite, and flexible when we wanted to make an unscheduled detour. The Jaguar is a lovely car and we would highly recommend the service to others.

Superb quality service of a high standard

The driver was prompt on the day and the car looked amazing and having ribbons to match the colour scheme as well. Clive was extremely prompt with responding to emails and ever so helpful when I hit a personal hiccup. He was extremely warm and polite, and really helped put myself at ease with a little humour as well. The car was just amazing I cannot recommend this company enough, great value for money and the champagne drive after was so much fun. He really did take such great care of us. Thankyou so much Clive

Professional service + great car made a magical day

What a special experience! Clive is such a lovely person to work with, nothing was too much trouble. He delivered a fantastic service even going the extra mile to get bollards lowered to access pedestrian streets for us! Clive was very punctual, professional and smart. The car was an absolute dream! Immaculate throughout and looked lovely with the ribbons, flowers and picnic basket. The chilled champagne in crystal glasses said everything about the attention to detail provided by Clive and I would highly recommend him!!

Our perfect wedding car

We are so pleased that we chose Leicester Wedding Cars for our wedding. We fell in love with the VW Beetle as soon as we saw it and it was decorated so beautifully on our wedding day. Our driver couldn't have been friendlier. He was punctual, very professional and took great care of us en route to our reception venue. The journey itself was beautiful and we were also able to have some photos with the car. We cannot thank him enough! We would highly recommend Leicester Wedding Cars.

I'm not a car person and when planning the wedding I really couldn't get excited about having a fancy car for the big day. I eventually landed on Leicester Wedding Cars' Beetle and thought the car looked really sweet. Clive was really helpful and clear about the arrangements, which gave me great confidence. On the wedding day, Rodger, our driver, had checked out the route and knew exactly where to go, which scenic route to take and just the right moment to put the top down to protect my fine coiffured hair! He was friendly and professional throughout the journey and put both myself and my Dad at ease. I didn't need to worry about anything. And the car was such a hit with our guests! I couldn't have chosen a better company or car for our day.

Great experience with the Beetle!

I booked the Beetle convertible for our daughter's wedding. Clive kept in touch with us during the run up to the day. Despite issues with flooding on some roads in the area, everything was on time and went well. The car was immaculate. Fortunately the rain held off but the roof folds out in no time!

I can thoroughly recommend the car and service.

VW Beetle- Wedding Hire

Thank you Leicester Wedding Cars for being part of our special day. Jim was punctual, friendly and very accommodating. The VW beetle was spotless and was a great addition to getting us to the church and wedding venue. The communication from Clive prior to the big day was also fantastic.
