When should I book?
Generally, most brides book our vehicles around one year in advance, although we can accomodate short notice bookings if your dates are available (at no extra charge). The earlier the booking is made, the more certain we can be that the vehicle will be available. The first step is to give us a call on 01279 831758 or email us.
How do I make a booking?
If you wish to make a booking, please contact us and we will send you a booking form. Alternatively, see the printable Booking Form on this web site. Supplying your information helps us to give you an accurate price for your special day. Unlike many other companies, we are enthusiasts and drive the vehicle ourselves. The bridal car is limited to one booking per day. Therefore you don't have to worry about us rushing off to do the next wedding! We look forward to hearing from you!
How do I pay?
A non-refundable deposit can be paid either by Postal Order or cheque (made payable to Dream Classics). The balance is required on the day or any time before your wedding. Approximately one week before the date we will contact you again to confirm timings and to make sure everything is as on the booking form.
Do I need to come and view the cars before I book?
No, more than half our bookings are taken directly over the telephone or through our website. However, many couples wish to come and check out the bridal car as it's a good opportunity to discuss details, timings and any other special arrangements. You are more than welcome to come and view our cars without any obligation. They really do need to be seen in the flesh to appreciate the true beauty of each car.
Do I need a second car for the bridesmaids?
This is entirely up to you. We can make multiple pick-ups in the one car, or you have the option of a second car should you require it. We offer a special discounted rate when booking both cars together.
Do you operate all year round?
Yes, we use both cars all year round but would recommend Peggy Sue if the weather is not too kind for sheer size and luxury with a solid roof!
How long do I have the car for?
We arrive about 30 minutes before the bride needs to depart to the ceremony. This gives plenty of time for photographs beforehand. When the ceremony has finished there is plenty of time for photographs to be taken at either the ceremony location, or after going direct to the reception, where any additional guests, if you wish, can also be included that were not at the ceremony. If you have any specific requirements we will be more then happy to discuss them with you. We can also drive to a seperate location for additional photography if available.
What happens if the Ceremony and Reception are at the same Venue?
In such circumstances, we will be happy to wait until after the wedding ceremony and then take the newly-wed couple for a short drive, to give you a few quite moments to yourself prior to you returning for the photographs and the waiting guests.
What areas do you cover?
We cover Herts and Essex and into London, which are inclusive of all charges. Further distances can be catered for quite happliy and we have travelled all the way to Devon before for a wedding. So please contact us for other locations or a personal quote.
What happens if the car breaks down?
While we personally maintain our vehicles to the best possible condition, just as with modern cars the unexpected can happen. Given sufficient warning, we will arrange, with your agreement, to provide a similar vehicle or a full refund of any money paid to that date. If on the day only one car is booked we will always have a second car ready should the unexpected happen.
What happens if my wedding is posponed to a new date?
As a family run business we understand this situation can sometimes happen. If you are merely moving your wedding to a new date, that we still have available, there will be no extra charge. We would ask that you would let us know as soon as possible to ensure that we have a date free.
