Service Reference History

 

We have listed below a very small selection of the many letters of thanks we have received and continue to receive from clients. I would like to offer my own personal thank you to the Brides, Grooms and Parents who have taken the time to write to us with their kind remarks about the service provided both before and on their special day. Finally I offer my thanks to just a few of the many well known Celebrities including Presidents, Prime Ministers and Royalty that over the years have taken the time to write a few kind words of thanks to me personally complimenting on the standard of service they received. Their names, in no particular order, follow the comments of our Brides and Grooms.

I am most grateful to you all for your kind comments - Michael Keene [Managing Director]

 

Michael, I would like to thank you for the immaculate service you provided, once again, this time for my second daughter's wedding.  The pre-event planning made by your company ensured the drivers were fully au fait with every inch of the drive, incorporating a number of photo opportunities en route. It was most fitting to arrive with my daughter in the silver Rolls-Royce and this, and the silver Bentley were presented immaculately. Your drivers were most considerate and accomodated the Bride and Groom's wishes.  It was as ever a pleasure to work with you and your team and much appreciated.  I look forward to working with you again when we have a very special family occasion.

The Earl of Normanton (The Somerley Estate, Hampshire)

 

Thank you for the excellent service we received from you and your Chauffeur's for our wedding in February. You even sent an extra car on the day as the vintage car we had chosen did not have heating and the weather forecast for the day was very cold so you sent a car with heating in addition to our chosen car, without charge. The Chauffeurs were so kind and helpful and couldn't have done more especially with my mobility problems. You may remember that due to my ill health we had to put back the date of our wedding twice, but you were so kind and helpful. I have passed on your details to a friend who is getting married next year. Thank you once again, we couldn't have asked for more.

Gemma and Ali Ghamarian (Weymouth)

 

Michael, we would like to thank you for providing the transport for our recent wedding. It was a truly magical day and we both feel that it was made all the more special by your lovely cars and the friendly, professional manner of yourself and John. Many friends and relatives have commented how much they admired the smart Chauffeurs and beautiful cars, especially the 1936 Rolls-Royce Sedanca de Ville, and we both felt very proud to be transported in such an elegant fashion. It really was the wedding of our dreams and we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful contribution you made to our most memorable day.

Simon and Emma Randall (West Kensington)

 

Thank you for being part of our daughter's very happy wedding day and escorting us around with such style. I have never been in such a fantastic Rolls-Royce before. You were so very good to them both, a drive they will never forget. Our sincere thanks again.

M. Moore (Ringwood)

 

Thank you for supplying two Rolls-Royce's for our wedding day. Both cars were even more beautiful than in their photographs and it was a privilege to ride in them. Your Chauffeurs were extremely courteous and cheerful and really helped the day to run smoothly. We have some wonderful pictures of the cars which we shall always treasure, and we would not hesitate to recommend your company to our friends and family in need of a very special car. Thanks again.

Dear Michael, Sorry that this has been so long in coming but since the wedding we have been incredibly busy. We would just like to say a very big thank you for helping to make our wedding day the happiest day of our lives. The cars were superb both in quality of vehicle and service, and your professionalism much appreciated. Wishing you all the best for the new year, and one more very big thank you. 

Martin and Caroline Price (Salisbury)

 

Michael we wanted to say how pleased we were with your service in planning and arranging our transport and at our recent wedding, we wanted something different and did not want the run of the mill white wedding car and were not too sure whether a black car would be suitable but are so pleased with the way it stood out both on the day and in our photographs, your suggestion of the new Black Daimler Super Eight was such a good idea and so luxurious and very roomy indeed.  Many of our guests said how elegant the car looked and I really felt like a superstar arriving at the church, and Robert just loved the big wheels - boys and their cars eh !  Thank you so much, we will certainly be passing on your details to our friends and family. Thank you again. 

Sheila and Robert White (Bournemouth)

 

Just a quick line to say a huge thank you for the use of your luxury cars [Jaguar XJ and Bentley Arnage] and the superior service during our wedding.  You really provided a top service from the start executed with such style and elegance, we had a truly amazing day. We have passed your contact details on to friends as highly recommended. Thanks again. 

Karina and Ben Jones (Southampton) 

 

Michael, Ed and I would like to thank you so much for providing the lovely Blue Bentley Arnage for our wedding, we really enjoyed the journeys and the champagne and many of our guests commented on how lovely the car looked.

Thank you again so much.

Mrs Mhorag Candy (Fordingbridge)

My husband and I would like to thank you for all the help you gave my parents in organising the stunning and wonderful cars for our wedding.

It was such a joy to ride in them and made every second of our journey to church and to the reception just magical ! Thank you for your professional service and all you did to ensure it went smoothly. We had a wonderful day !

Donna and Kevin Stephenson (Glastonbury)

 

Michael, I would like to express my my most sincere thanks to you and your team for providing the transport for us on our wedding day in June. The car looked absolutely beautiful and really helped to set the scene for our wedding.  Our highest compliments must also go to the driver, he was courteous, kind and patient with us on the day. There were periods of heavy rain throughout the day and he was superb in ensuring we got out of the car in the dry and even went to the lengths of drying the car for me to get out and for the photographs.  Some of our favourite photo's included the car. All in all, we were delighted to use the services that you provided and could not give a higher recommendation.  Many, many thanks again.

Kate & David Chissell (Salisbury)

 

Michael, Kate and I would like to thank you for playing such a pivotal role in making our wedding such a succesful and happy occasion in providing us with the 1948 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith.  The car was absolutely beautiful, in immaculate condition and more than we could ever have imagined.  We felt so honoured to be able to use it on our special day, and the service provided to us was second to none !.  The car arrived exactly at the time that was promised, no mean feat when you consider the distance it travelled. Our chauffeur on the day was attentive, had clearly planned the journey carefully and made us and our family feel so special.  The champagne outside the church was a really lovely touch.  The service you provided was top class and we look forward to recommending your services in the future. With our thanks.

Michael & Catherine Bell (Barton Stacey)

 

Michael, we would both like to thank you for the very brilliant and professional service both you and Mike gave us on our wedding day. Both of the cars looked fantastic, and even though it was raining this did not dampen the day as you were both so attentive with your large umbrellas, thank you for keeping us all dry ! We will definitely be recommending your company in the future, thanks again.

Tracy and Warren Gunnell (Thame, Oxon)

 

Michael, Just a short note to thank you and your team for all your efforts on our wedding day. It was a real pleasure using Premier Carriage, your cars were beautiful and the Chauffeurs were both professional and friendly, both of which were greatly appreciated by the bridal party. I would also like to mention that your efficient organization very much reduced my stress levels and made the day more relaxed and enjoyable. The beautiful cars and professional approach of all involved helped provide a real sense of occasion to the day. Thank you for everything.

Richard Baker (Houston, Texas)

 

Michael, I would like to say when we viewed your cars yesterday at Highcliffe Castle how impressed we all were with both your cars and your service. I have been in contact with other wedding car companies but you, your colleagues and your cars are by far the most impressive and professional. I very much look forward to having Premier Carriage as part of our wedding day.

Kathryn Brazier. (Bride to Be)

 

Michael, I would like to thank you and your chauffeur's for such a special day. Your cars were absolutely beautiful and immaculate ! The service your chauffeur's and yourself provided on the day was fantastic. Such friendly, polite, courteous and professional gentlemen, I was more than impressed. My new daughter in law even commented on how the cars had made her day. I would certainly recommend you to anyone, and thank you for making our day even more special. Your title 'Premier Carriage' certainly lives up to it's name.

Mrs Suzanne Reis (Broadstone)

 

Thank you so much for the part you played in making our daughter's wedding day such a successful and happy occasion. It is not easy to arrange a wedding so far from home, but the service we received from you far exceeded our hopes and expectations. I will have no hesitation recommending your company in the future.

M. Jones (Fairford, Gloucestershire)

 

Michael, I just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you for the wonderful car and service I received from Premier Carriage.  The car was absolutely stunningly beautiful and the driver was wonderful and so calm, even though I was late the driver coped so well with the situation as I was quietly panicking and was so kind to me.  I will be recommending your company to anyone that will listen and I am just so grateful and glad that I chose your company to provide our wedding car, as the service was fantastic, totally professional and stress free which is just what you need when organising a wedding, especially from out of the area. Many thanks again.

Nikki and Samuel Walker (Highcliffe)

 

I just want to say thank you to the drivers of the three cars we hired for our wedding, the service they provided was perfect. My husband and I really enjoyed riding in the Rolls-Royce.  Our family and friends who used the other cars said how much they enjoyed riding in them also. I will definitely recommend your company to future Bride's to be.  Best Wishes.

Marion and Stuart Thomas (Sherborne St.John) 

 

As the Bride's parents we would like to say thank you for the extremely professional service provided at our daughter's wedding.  The staff at Barrington Court, where we were staying, told us that 'Peter' the chauffeur had visited them the previous week to check the route and timings.  On the day of the wedding he arrived in plenty of time and proceeded to wash and decorate the beautiful car in the courtyard. We were very impressed by the car and it's driver and would like to pass on our thanks and appreciation.  Best Wishes.

Dr & Mrs Appleton  (Barrington, Somerset) 

 

You supplied a 1930 Vintage Cadillac for my daughters wedding at Athelhampton House on September 4th. Please pass on my sincere thanks to the chauffeur who drove us to the ceremony, he put both my daughter and I at ease and the journey was the highlight of the day. The car was beautiful and immaculately presented. Again my grateful thanks.

Richard Best (Weymouth)

 

Hi Michael, I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for the transport we had at our wedding in October in Northam, Devon.  The car was absolutely beautiful and it was perfect for our day.  The chauffeur who drove the car was lovely, he was happy to wait until I was ready to go to the church and I didn't feel rushed at all.  After the wedding we did a bit of a detour and he was more than happy to go wherever we wanted, a perfect gentleman.  Please pass on our thanks.  I will definitely be passing your details on to friends that are getting married, you offered a first class service, many thanks.

Claire and Mark Kelly (Bideford)

 

Michael, I just wanted to write to thank you for the excellent service you provided for our wedding in June. The vintage 1929 Rolls-Royce truly was a dream come true, I had always wanted to travel in one and it arrived at my parents house looking stunning.  Mike, our chauffeur, was fantastic what an amazing guy ! he arrived two hours early which made my bridal preparation a joy.  I was able to go out and show my parents the car and didn't spend the morning panicking whether or not the car would arrive on time.  Simon and I really cherished the time in the car driving from the service to our reception venue too.  Once again please pass on our thanks to all those involved in getting our car ready for the day and to Mike for his fabulous service on the day.  Our best wishes to you all.

Briony and Simon Tappin (Worthing)

 

Hello Michael, Following our wedding day on 27th June I just wanted to thank you so much for contributing to what really was a great day. The wedding car was absolutely beautiful and just what we wanted. Roy was an absolute star and I am so grateful to him for his friendliness and patience, we could not have asked for any better. I have attached some photos of the car, so that you can see how lovely it was. Many thanks again.

1. Dear Michael, How are you ? We hope you're well.  We shall be writing but couldn't leave for our honeymoon tomorrow without writing a quick email to say thank you so much for the beautiful cars we used for our wedding on Saturday.  We had the dream day, it was so magical, everything we wished for and more.   The cars were such an important and special part of our day, I felt like a celebrity arriving at the Abbey Church.  The drivers were fab, especially Cliff so please pass on our thanks to him.  Thanks again for everything, we'll be in touch shortly.

2. Dear Michael, we hope this card finds you well.  We just wanted to write to say thank you so much for the excellent service we received for our wedding on 8th August.  As you know we were so impressed with the chauffeur's. The cars were spotless and it was truly amazing arriving in the Rolls-Royce with my Father. We even went for a little drive straight after the church service and this has now become one of our favourite parts of the day.  You have an excellent company Michael, you should be very proud.  Our very best wishes.

Caroline and Daniel Hill (Wimborne) 

 

Dear Michael, very many thanks too from the parents and the sister of the Bride.  The cars you provided for our exciting journey from Woodland Rise to Milton Abbey were quite superb, as fully expected.

Dear Michael, This is just to say thank you for a superb service on our wedding day. You provided an easy to use service and were always prompt in replying to emails.

Thank you again, and we will certainly recommend you.

Hi Michael, on behalf of Sarah and Simon we would like to pass on their and our sincere thanks for an absolutely fabulous drive to and from the church on Saturday.  Virtually all our guests commented on how well both of the cars complimented each other and the few photos we have seen so far look stunning [cars and occupants].

Kind regards.

The whole day went smoothly and this was in no small part down to him, so thank you, it really helped make their day. Kind Regards.

Dear Premier Carriage, my husband and I would like to thank you for the fantastic service we received on our wedding day on the 16th August and for the beautiful car that arrived to pick me and my Bridesmaids up at the hotel and then took me and my new husband to our reception. The driver was brilliant and the drive each way was absolutely perfect !  The champagne to enjoy between the church and the reception really was a great addition to the day and we really enjoyed celebrating together on the way to the hotel.  Would you be kind enough to forward me the details of the driver that we had as we would like to send him a personal thank you letter since we were so impressed and happy on the day.  Many thanks again for such a memorable part of our day.  Kind Regards.

Samantha and Helge Neumeister (Basingstoke)  

 

Peter, we wanted to write you a note to thank you for everything you did on our wedding day. You were impeccably organised, gracious, professional and kind.  Your knowledge of the area enabled us to get some of our favourite shots. Your 1965 Bentley S3 was one of the stars of the show. She looked stunning, ran beautifully and nearly upstaged the Bride !!  We've had so many compliments on her. With all our best wishes.

Chris & Isabelle Scott (Iwerne Minster) 

 

Michael I would like to thank you for the car arrangements for my wedding day. I know I kept changing my mind, and taking ages to decide, but the whole operation by yourself was very efficient and both cars and drivers were superb and carried out a fantastic job. With John arriving the day before just to check the house was the right one and to introduce himself, I was immediately relaxed and very appreciative of such care of service and attention to detail. With thanks and kind regards.

Rebecca and Brian Warner (West Byfleet, Surrey)

 

Michael, a big thank you for your absolutely impeccable contribution to our wedding day on January 15th.

Dear Michael, now back from honeymoon 'my wife and I' wanted to thank you and your drivers so much for the wonderful vintage cars that transported us on our wedding day, they really were beautiful and obviously so well cared for. I especially wanted to thank the drivers who waited so patiently due to a delay in the start of the wedding service caused by a road accident, we really appreciated it and loved the drive across from the church to the castle. Thank you too Michael - the prompt and effecient service that we've had has been great and made the whole arrangement hassle free. Wishing you every future success and our best regards.
