To assure you that you’re in safe, reliable and professional hands with Premier Carriage we have listed below a very small selection of the many letters of thanks we have received and continue to receive from our 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 we provided for 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cordelia and Luke Gamble (Fordingbridge, Hampshire)
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.
