When should I book ?
Generally, most brides book our vehicles around one year in advance, although we can
accomodate short notice bookings if your dates are available (at no extra charge). The earlier the
booking is made, the more certain we can be that the vehicle will be available. The first step is to
give us a call on 07884 404411 or email us.
How do I make a booking ?
If you wish to make a booking, please contact us and we will send you a booking form.
Alternatively, see the Booking Form on this web site. Supplying your information helps us to give
you an accurate price for your special day. Unlike many other companies, we are enthusiasts and
drive the vehicle ourselves. The bridal car is limited to one booking per day. Therefore you don't
have to worry about us rushing off to do the next wedding! We want your photographs to be as
perfect as you do and are happy to help your photographer get that perfect shot. We look
forward to hearing from you!
How do I pay?
A non-refundable 30% deposit can be paid either by Postal Order or cheque (made payable to
California Dreamin'). The balance is required four weeks before your wedding. Approximately
one week before the date we will contact you again to confirm timings.
Do I need to come and view the cars before I book ?
No, more than half our bookings are taken directly over the telephone. However, many couples
wish to come and check out the bridal car as it's a good opportunity to discuss details, timings
and any other special arrangements. You are more than welcome to come and view us without
obligation. Please do make an appointment though as the car may not always be available to
view.
Do I need a second car for the bridesmaids?
It is recommended that you book a second car with us for your bridesmaids.
Do you operate all year round ?
Yes, but we do not go out in adverse weather conditions such as snow or icewith the classic
cars. We have a spare white non-classic vehicle we use for such occasions for the bridal car.
How long do I have the car for ?
We arrive about 15 minutes before the bride needs to depart to the ceremony. This gives plenty
of time for photographs beforehand. When the ceremony has finished there is a maximum of 45
minutes available for photographs to be taken at either the ceremony location, or after going
direct to the reception, where any additional guests, if you wish, can also be included that were
not at the ceremony. Any more time, not arranged when booking the car, will be at an additional
charge. If you have any specific requirements we will be more then happy to discuss them with
you.
What happens if the Ceremony and Reception are at the same Venue?
In such circumstances, we will be happy to wait until after the wedding ceremony and then take
the newly-wed couple for a short drive (limits apply), to give you a few quite moments to yourself
prior to you returning for the photographs and the waiting guests.
What areas do you cover ?
We cover predominantly Coventry and Nuneaton areas, which are inclusive of all charges.
Further distances can be catered for like Stratford-Upon-Avon, Kenilworth, Warwick, Royal
Leamington Spa, Rugby, Hinckley,and Southam. So please contact us for other locations or a
personal quote.
What happens if the car breaks down ?
While we maintain our vehicles to the best possible condition, just as with modern cars the
unexpected can happen. Given sufficient warning, we will arrange, with your agreement, to
provide a similar vehicle or a full refund of any money paid to that date.
What happens if my wedding is cancelled ?
If unfortunately your wedding is cancelled, after the full payment has been received, we will
refund all monies paid execpt the non-refundable 30% deposit (please see out terms and
conditions).
What happens if my wedding is posponed to a new date ?
As a family run business we understand this situation can sometimes happen. If however, you are
merely moving your wedding to a new date, we are willing to waive a new deposit charge. This is
only available at the time of cancelling the original date.
