How Many Wedding Cars Do You Actually Need?

It's one of the first questions couples ask us: one car, or two? The answer depends on who needs to be where, and when. Here's a simple way to work it out.

How Many Wedding Cars Do You Actually Need?

The one-car wedding

A single car covers a surprising amount. It can bring the bride and her father to the ceremony, then carry the newlyweds from the ceremony to the reception. It's the most affordable option and works beautifully for an intimate wedding, or a venue where the ceremony and reception share a site.

When a second car helps

A second car earns its keep when people need to be in two places at once — bridesmaids or parents arriving separately from the bride, or the groom and best man wanting their own arrival. Two of our silver Baby Bentleys make a classic pair: bride in one, bridal party in the other.

Moving the whole party

If you're shuttling guests between the ceremony, reception and hotels, our 16-seat luxury minibus keeps everyone together and on time — often alongside a bridal car for the couple.
