Verified Reviews from Past Clients

We booked this wonderful car for our wedding in South Wales and were over the moon with the car itself and the excellent service provided by our driver, Darren. Throughout the enquiry and booking process Premier Carriage were responsive and always available to answer our questions. Prior to the wedding we both agreed an itinerary and any extra details so that we wouldn’t miss any photos opportunities and everything ran smoothly on our big day. Would really recommend using a Premier Carriage car on your big day and a huge thanks to Darran our driver!

A huge thank you to Nick for the most amazing service on our wedding day. He arrived with plenty of time to spare and there was no pressure to leave for the ceremony until I was ready. Nick then drove us from the ceremony to our venue and made the whole experience so easy and such fun for us. We had so many compliments on the car. Thanks for making us feel so special!

Absolutely amazing from first contact to saying goodbye. Communication through WhatsApp was good and nothing was too much hassle. We requested a play list to be played to our wedding and to the after venue and was no problem. Harry arrived at our home early which was nice to show off the wedding car before setting off. The car itself "WOW" there is no more explanation needed. We asked for gold ribbon which was the perfect colour match. He was the perfect chauffeur and didn't rush us and let us take our time. We were even surprised to find a small gift from Harry when we got back into the gorgeous car when heading to the after venue. A massive thank you for making our day that little bit more special.

Had a fabulous experience from start to finish with Keyhole Motors for my daughter’s wedding car! Hired a beautifully spotless blue & ivory Imperial Landaulette and can’t thank driver Dave enough. Would definitely recommend everyone involved!! Thanks
