How much do you charge for each car?
Prices vary according to distance and the date of the wedding....for example, a booking on a Monday in November will be less than a Saturday in July. Please Click here or telephone 01202 875056 for a no obligation quote.

How far do you travel?
We are based in Ferndown, Dorset and will travel a 20 mile radius. This covers the New Forest, Lymington and Lyndhurst, West as far as Lulworth Castle/Dorchester and North as far as Blandford Forum. Our cars are vintage replica cars so have modern engines which means they can travel distances without a problem.

How much deposit is required?
We require £75.00 deposit. A month before the wedding an invoice will be sent for the final payment.

Do you have umbrellas in the cars?
Every car has a large white golf umbrella. We try and cater for everything you might need so each car will carry bottled water, mints and tissues. You can also buy large golf umbrellas or pretty parasols from Pure-Treats

I am going to get married and have the reception at the same place, do you offer a one way wedding price?
We will not accept one way weddings during our busy period but we do offer to stay for up to 2 hours after the start of the ceremony. This gives the bride and groom time for photos and a short drive with time to drink the complimentary bottle of bubbly. Most couples seem to like these few precious moments together on what can be a very hectic day!!

Are you happy to make two journeys to the church?
For a small extra cost we are happy to make two journeys to the church. Please just bear in mind the time it will take us to make the first journey and to return for the bride when making this decision.

What happens in the event of a breakdown on the day?
All of our cars are maintained to a very high standard and in 19 years we have never let a bride down!! In the event of a breakdown we would do our utmost to supply another car. As all the cars are owned by Barnes Wedding Cars we would hope to supply one of these cars.

Can we view the cars?
Yes, you can either view the cars at one of the wedding exhibitions we attend, (See the link to Wedding Exhibitions) at a wedding or by appointment at the garages in Ferndown.

What colour ribbons can we have?
Christine is happy to match the ribbons to your colour scheme. The cars do look good with ivory or white as the main colour but the bows can be in two colours to incorporate your colour scheme.

Do you do school proms?
Unfortunately we do not do school proms. Our cars are kept in pristine condition for weddings and cannot go out the night before for a school prom when they have to be ready for a wedding the next day.
