Prom service

We can't thank Clive at Leicester Wedding cars enough. He stepped in at the last minute when we were let down and made my daughters Prom night extra special.
Very professional and organised with great communication all the way through the process.
Clive arrived in the stunning Jaguar and put everyone at ease especially my 16yr daughter with his friendly attitude and knowledge. He ensured everything went well and to plan. He also took some lovely photos for us at the venue which was a lovely bonus and much appreciated. Would definately recommend this service.

Wedding 9th April 2026

Clive was fantastic from the very first text message.
I wanted to organise a car for my husband to arrive at our venue in and some of the Quotes I was receiving for a 15 minute journey was ridiculous!
Then I found Leicester Wedding Cars, who fit my budget perfectly.
The lead up to the wedding Clive would email to re confirm everything and let me know what would be happening.
On the day of the wedding he arrived on time and was really professional.

Would definitely recommend Leicester Wedding Cars.

Excellent experience

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience on our wedding day. From start to finish, he was absolutely outstanding—so friendly, kind, and genuinely caring. Clive made both myself and my dad feel completely at ease, which meant so much during such a special and emotional moment.

The blue Jaguar was stunning—luxurious, spacious, and incredible value for money. It really added that extra touch of elegance to the day.

What truly stood out was how he went above and beyond to make everything feel extra special. Nothing was too much trouble, and his attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed.

I would highly recommend him to anyone—he was a big part of making our day so perfect. Thank you again!

Last minute wedding car hire ❤️

In August 2025, Clive was kind enough to be our wedding chauffeur. He was organised, calm, friendly and very respectful to all .
We had regular emails before the wedding, which was very reinsuring.
I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody.
My father is a big fan of Jaguars and could not stop smiling all day. Thank you Clive.
👍🏼❤️

Jake & Pavlinka's Wedding

Clive was absolutely fantastic on our wedding day & we couldn't have asked for a better driver! We hired the Jaguar & it was absolutely beautiful. The drink on the way to the venue from the church was a very nice touch & we both loved the pictures that Clive had taken of us - a man of many talents! Thank you so much once again for being part of our big day & I would highly recommend everyone to book Clive. 😁

School Prom

I booked the VW Beetle for my daughter’s school prom. I couldn’t fault the service, quality of the car and communication when booking.
Personal touches by Clive from colour of ribbons on the car to his professionalism on the day were amazing.
I would definitely recommend and be happy to use again.
Thank you

Perfect finishing touch to prom!

I can’t recommend Clive highly enough. Everything about our interaction from the initial phone call to the main event was absolutely flawless! The car looked amazing, Clive was the perfect chauffeur and my daughter and her friends had the best start to their prom experience. Thank you so much x

Absolutely stunning

We recently used Leicester wedding cars for our wedding and would definitely highly recommend them to anyone. We had the VW Beetle and it was comfortable and surprisingly spacious.
Iain our driver was professional friendly but also spot on driver with times etc.
Once we was married we had a champagne drive to our venue with the roof down we felt like celebrities. Absolutely amazing day.
Communication before hand was brilliant and we felt really looked after and no stress.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
