Its distinctive design and vibrant red colour have made it an iconic bus for wedding hire. ! This beautifully restored Routemaster wedding bus is available to hire for your special day.

This bus has been meticulously preserved and updated, making it perfect for transporting wedding guests in comfort and elegance. With an open rear platform for easy boarding, the Routemaster can seat 40 passengers on the upper deck and 32 on the lower deck, providing ample space for friends and family. Available for hire in London and the home counties, this charming vintage bus ensures a memorable and picturesque journey on your special day.

We hired a Land Rover as our wedding car, and it honestly couldn’t have been more perfect. The vehicle itself was absolutely stunning and fit the setting of our North Yorkshire wedding beautifully — rugged, classic, and full of character. It made for some amazing photo opportunities out on the moorland!Our driver was fantastic from start to finish. He arrived on time (actually early, which really helped calm the nerves), was incredibly professional, and had such a friendly, relaxed manner that instantly put everyone at ease — especially the bride and her dad on the drive to the venue.After the ceremony, he took us out for photos across the moors, and it turned into one of our favourite parts of the day. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible — nothing felt rushed, and his attention to detail really showed.We can’t thank him enough for helping make our day so special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something a bit different, memorable, and full of charm for their wedding transport.— Ross & Amy Hinchliffe

Good afternoon,My parents surprised us with a London Cab to take us from the church to our wedding venue on 20th September (as a reference to Matt being from London as we got married in my hometown in Wales), and we just wanted to send a quick email to say how amazing our driver, Alistair was! A big thank you for helping us make our day special and especially for standing in the torrential rain while we had a few photos and allow the younger children to pose with it.We can't wait to get these photos back from the photographer!
