If you’re planning your day in and around CA12, you’ve come to the right place. I’m glad you found Wedding Car Hire in Keswick—we’re Wedding Car Hire UK, with nearly 20 years helping couples arrive exactly as they imagined: calm, on time and with a touch of Cumbria’s quiet charm. Picture the soft hum of the engine as you drive past Derwentwater, or the bride stepping from the car beneath Skiddaw’s light—that’s the feeling we aim to deliver.
When people ask about Our Fleet, we talk weathered leather, polished chrome and modern hush. We work with a trusted UK network to offer Rolls-Royce, Bentley, classic Austin and Daimler limousines, Mercedes S-Class, Jaguar XJ, Range Rover and even Tesla models. Every car is chauffeur-driven and prepared to the highest standard.
For a timeless arrival — think Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, Bentley Flying Spur or an elegant Beauford Convertible — our classic cars bring ceremony and style. They suit church services, country house openings and those slow, picture-perfect drives through Borrowdale.
If you prefer contemporary comfort, the Mercedes S-Class, Jaguar XJ and Tesla provide privacy, air-con, and a modern look that photographs beautifully outside hotels like The George in Keswick or larger estate venues.
For making an entrance with a grin, our sport and statement cars are showstoppers: sleek lines, dramatic photos and a memorable exit. These are ideal for couples seeking a different kind of debut.
Every vehicle is supplied with a professional, uniformed driver. Our Chauffeur Service means punctuality, discretion and an understanding of wedding etiquette: helping with the dress, stepping back for photos, liaising with your planner, and keeping to a carefully coordinated schedule so your day flows without fuss.
We arrange single bridal cars, multiple vehicles for your wedding party, and full transport packages including minibuses or coaches for guests. Our Tailored Packages can cover same-day bookings, complex logistics and nationwide coverage — whether you need one car or complete transport across Keswick, Cockermouth, Ambleside, Penrith and beyond.

From Theatre by the Lake and Lodore to country houses on the outskirts of Cockermouth or a reception in Ambleside, we plan routes that work for photos, timing and parking. Our local knowledge means drivers know where to stop for the best light and how to navigate venue access in sensitive historic settings.

You can choose car colours and styling to reflect your theme — white, ivory, silver or champagne are popular, but we respect individual preferences and cultural traditions. Ribbons, bunting or floral sprays can be matched to bouquets and venue décor. If you need discreet styling for certain cultural or family customs, mention it and we’ll make sure chauffeurs and suppliers understand.
Wedding Car Hire UK has arranged thousands of successful bookings across the UK. We vet and verify suppliers, provide transparent pricing, and offer personalised customer support. Read reviews, ask for licence and insurance details if you need reassurance — we encourage openness so you can book with confidence.
Early is best, especially for weekends in summer. That said, because we work with a wide network, we can often secure vehicles at short notice. If you need a last-minute booking in CA12 or nearby areas like Aspatria, contact us and we’ll check availability.
Yes. Our chauffeurs are trained in wedding etiquette — helping with dresses, opening doors, assisting in photo co‑ordination and liaising with venue staff or your planner to keep timings on track.
Decorations like ribbons and simple floral sprays can be provided or arranged through our suppliers; we recommend confirming style and colours ahead of time so everything matches your theme.
We do. From multiple cars for the wedding party to coaches and minibuses for guests, our Tailored Packages cover logistics, timing and pick-up points across Keswick, Cockermouth, Ambleside, Wigton and Penrith.

You can mention the specific car models you love (for example, Rolls-Royce Phantom or Bentley Flying Spur) and we’ll match availability and provide time estimates so you can plan your photographer’s schedule and the post-ceremony route.
