THE PUBLIC CARRIAGE COMPANY

Chauffeur driven Classic and Vintage Vehicles for Weddings & Special Occasions

0208 707 6641  -  07903242155

About us

We work as a husband and wife team based in Hanworth/Hampton. When you telephone, either Calvin or Wendy will pick up the call. Calvin used to do weddings in the 1980's then stopped for a while, then when the opportunity of owning a Austin 1934 High Lot taxi came along, the obvious thing was to share this lovely old vehicle with others and use it for weddings. As a small family business we can offer a friendly and personal service and we are finding, as the years go by, that most of our business comes from recommendation. Our cars are fully valeted and chauffeur driven with a choice of cream or white ribbon and equipped with a large umbrella should the weather be against you. 

Whether you choose our vintage car, pre-war taxi or our beautiful classic Jaguar 'S' type, we will be attending your wedding personally and your wedding will be the only commitment we undertake on that day.  We want you to feel happy and confident that you've made the right choice in hiring one of our cars to be part of your special day so that you can relax and enjoy the whole occasion. Once you have chosen the date, please ring for availability.  We will be happy talk over all  your requirements. After all,  it's not "About Us" it's all about "you"!

What will it cost?
     We will be happy to quote you a price over the telephone or e-mail based on your full details with no hidden extra costs.
Remember to tell us if you require the bridesmaids to be taken first, this is depending on the distance involved.
Do you want to stop somewhere special for photographs before or after the wedding? 
May be you want to be taken round the park while your guests arrive at the reception?
Whatever your needs please let us have all these details when you make an enquiry.

If you wish to book we will require a deposit of £50 to secure the date. 
The balance will be due three weeks before the wedding day.
Just fill in our 'on-line enquiry form' for a no obligation quote.

Testimonials

Dear Kelvin and Wendy,
Just a note to thank you both for the superb quality of
service that you provided for our daughter's wedding
last week. Archie was a star to our guests, but it was
you Kelvin and Wendy - who where our stars. You
where both so helpful, considerate and thoughtful in
your planning - thank you. A big thank you also for
keeping us calm Kelvin, when the limo (from another
company) had not turned upon time. You came up
with many solutions-none of which were needed in
the end - but all gave me hope at the time!
We will certainly recommend you to our friends.
All the very best to you both.
Regards J & D Fairweather

Calvin & Wendy
Thank you for the photos.  There are some lovely ones
there.  Of course its fine with us if you would like
to use any photos for your website. We were so pleased with the cars - they were just what we wanted for our day. Thank you for the champagne - we've not drunk it yet but plan to crack it open on Saturday for our one week anniversary! Best regards H & P

Dear Wendy & Calvin, thank you for providing the car
for Emily and Chris' wedding on Saturday. Many people commented on the beautiful car. Thank you for providing
such an efficient service and ensuring that the day went smoothly. It was such a special day for us all.
Best Wishes N & J Love

Dear Calvin & Wendy, On behalf of us can I convey our sincere thanks for your very special contribution to the wedding day. Your co-operation and attention to detail was first class. I'm not sure who was turned out more sprucely - Calvin or Archie! And the presentation by yourselves of a bottle of champagne to the newly weds was a very kind gesture. All the Best G.B.

Thank you for making our wedding day so special -
riding in "Archie" was definitely one of the high-lights.
Regards M & B Jones

Dear Wendy,
I just wanted to thank you for such a professional service on 14th June. The car was immaculate and we had so many compliments about it. It looked like it had been polished all morning - it was so shiny and clean. Thank you also for the bottle of champagne - a really lovely gesture - and the photographs. I have to say you have taken so great shots and we would be happy for you to use them on your website.
Thank you again for such a fabulous and professional service, Best Wishes Jo.

Dear Wendy and Calvin,
Thank you very much for making our 'special day' even more special by providing 'Archie' as the wedding car. It came as a complete surprise to Jan and certainly started her day off in style. Guests were still talking about the wedding transport long into the night and your attention to detail was second to none. I shall certainly be recommending you should other people require wedding transport.
M & J Smith
