🚘 BEHIND THE SCENES OF A WEDDING CAR BUSINESS 🚘
When you book a wedding car, you're not just paying for a journey from A to B. There's so much more that goes on behind the scenes that people don't always see!
Running a wedding car business comes with plenty of ongoing costs and responsibilities, even when the cars aren't out at weddings.
🔧 MOTs & Maintenance – Keeping our vehicles roadworthy, reliable and in excellent condition. With classic and vintage vehicles, maintenance can be particularly costly!
🛡️ Insurance – Specialist insurance to ensure our vehicles, drivers and passengers are properly covered.
🧽 Cleaning & Preparation – Every vehicle is thoroughly cleaned, polished and prepared before each wedding. We want every car looking its absolute best for your special day.
⛽ Fuel & Running Costs – Our vehicles aren't exactly known for their fuel efficiency! And that's before factoring in travel to and from venues.
🚗 Repairs & Upkeep – Older vehicles need extra care, attention and sometimes specialist parts to keep them looking and running beautifully.
📞 Administration & Planning – Behind every booking are emails, phone calls, route planning, timings, paperwork and making sure every little detail is organised.
👔 Professional Chauffeurs – Experienced, smartly dressed drivers who arrive early, help with dresses, assist with photographs and make sure everything runs smoothly.
⏰ Time & Commitment – A 10-minute journey doesn't mean a 10-minute job. There's preparation, travelling, waiting, photographs and returning the vehicle afterwards.
❤️ And that's before we've even made a profit!
As a family-run business, we put a huge amount of time, care and effort into what we do.
So when you receive a quote from a wedding car company, remember you're not simply paying for the distance travelled.
You're paying for the vehicle, the preparation, the experience, the reliability and the peace of mind that everything is taken care of.
At Candeo Wedding Cars, we're proud of the work that goes on behind the scenes to make your wedding day that little bit more special. 🤍
