About this vehicle:
This beautifully restored 1958 AEC Reliance single-decker bus, finished in elegant burgundy and cream, brings a wonderful sense of nostalgia and charm to any wedding day. Its rounded 1950s bodywork, classic chrome detailing and distinctive front twin-windscreen and twin-tinted windows above give it an unmistakable retro presence, especially when in photographs outside churches, period manor houses and countryside venues.
Inside, the bus offers seating for up to 37 passengers, making it ideal for transporting larger groups of guests together. The warm, authentic interior retains its vintage character, complete with period seating and generously sized windows that let in plenty of natural light. It creates a welcoming atmosphere for bridal parties and guests alike, whether travelling between ceremony and reception or simply enjoying the journey as part of the celebration.
The AEC Reliance holds a special place in British transport history. First introduced in the late 1950s, it quickly became known for its smooth ride, reliability and forward-thinking engineering, serving towns and cities across the country for decades. Having one of these rare survivors fully restored and available for wedding hire is a real treat for enthusiasts and couples wanting something truly unique.
With its timeless burgundy and cream livery, classic curves and delightful vintage character, this 1958 Reliance is far more than just transport — it becomes part of your wedding day adding a touch of old-school romance and a brilliant talking point for guests.

Dear Adrian,
There should be a bigger and more meaningful word or phrase than ‘thank you’ for what you did for us on Sunday. Helping us the way you did has just blown us away and we are ever grateful to you. You really, truly are one in a million and we will never, ever forget your selfless act of kindness on Abigail and Rob’s wedding day.
Not only was it a life saver but it made the day extra special for us all and gave us an experience to remember.
Love and blessings and heartfelt thanks
Andrew, Cathy, Abigail, Rob and all the family

Dear Aidi,
We wanted to send a little card to say a huge thank you for letting us use your beautiful camper for our wedding day! It is in such good condition and we had so many compliments about it! Thank you too for letting us have our photos taken in front of it, some of our best pictures include the van! I have sent them to Kayleigh for you to see :)
Thanks again! and please accept the bubbles as an extra thank you.
Lots of love from, Gail and Ben xx

I hired an Aston Martin for my husband as a surprise on for our wedding day and our experience was absolutely fantastic. The team were incredibly accommodating from start to finish. I had to make multiple changes to the booking and they were always patient, flexible and helpful.
The price was very reasonable for such a luxury car and the service we received.
On the day itself, the car arrived promptly and right on time, which really helped everything run smoothly and kept stress levels low. The Aston Martin was in immaculate condition, beautifully presented, clean, and truly added something special and memorable to the day. It looked amazing in photos and made the journey feel extra special for my husband.
I would highly recommend this service to any couple looking for stylish, reliable, and professional wedding car experience. Thank you, Adrian, for helping make our wedding day perfect! Kathryn & james
