A warm Welcome — if you’re planning a wedding in Mitcheldean and the Forest of Dean, it’s lovely to meet you. I’m speaking as if I’ve popped round next door with a cup of tea: we know the lanes off the A4136, the morning light on the church spire, and the little sigh of relief when the right car turns up at the kerb. Wedding Car Hire UK has nearly two decades of experience helping couples find the right vehicle — from Rolls Royce and Bentley to Mercedes and Jaguar — and we treat every booking like it matters to our neighbours.
When folks ask about Our Fleet, they usually picture classic white cars outside the village hall. We’ve teamed up with trusted chauffeurs across the UK so you can choose classic or contemporary styles that fit your wedding, whether your ceremony is in Mitcheldean village itself or a short drive to a venue near Cinderford, Newent, Coleford or Ross on Wye.
If you love the idea of a timeless arrival, our Classic Cars — think polished chrome, cosy interiors and leather — are the sort of thing that makes grandparents smile and creates beautiful photos outside local parish churches.
For a quieter, contemporary feel, our Modern Luxury options like Mercedes and Jaguar deliver smooth journeys and discreet chauffeurs, perfect for getting ready in the morning in Newent then heading off to a reception in Ross on Wye without fuss.
And if you’ve always imagined making a statement, our Sports Cars bring a flash of excitement — the sort of entrance that guests talk about long after the cake has been cut.
We like to keep things simple, so here’s how How It Works with us. First, tell us the date and a bit about your plan — ceremony time, where the bridal prep will be (studio or at home in Mitcheldean?), and whether you need return journeys. Then we match you with an operator who knows the local roads and venues; they handle the details like route planning and arrival timing. We’re just as happy to answer those little worries — will traffic on the A4136 delay things? — and to work with venue managers in Lydney or Coleford so everyone’s coordinated.
Prices vary by vehicle, distance and season, so here’s a straightforward comparison to help you plan. This is the kind of information we’d share over a quick phone call, honest and clear.
| Vehicle type | Typical hire | Typical price range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Cars | 2–4 hours | £250–£450 | Great for church services and short receptions nearby |
| Modern Luxury | 3–6 hours | £300–£600 | Comfort and style for longer journeys (e.g. Ross on Wye) |
| Sports Cars | 1–3 hours | £200–£500 | A statement arrival; best for short, local movements |
When you’re ready to book, a short chat usually does the trick. We’ll confirm timings, driver details and any special requests — ribbons, surprise routes, or a gentle nudge to arrive a little early for photographs. If you want to explore all options first, take a look at our fleet or drop us a line via contact. If you’re close by in Cinderford, Newent or Lydney, we can usually arrange a quick viewing or an informal meet-and-greet so you can feel confident in your choice.
We recommend booking as soon as you have a date — popular cars and weekends fill up. For peak summer weekends, many couples in Mitcheldean and nearby towns secure vehicles 9–12 months ahead. That said, smaller local weekday weddings can be arranged with shorter notice, and we’ll always try to help if your plans change.
Yes. All our partner operators carry the necessary insurance for wedding hire and provide professional, courteous drivers accustomed to working with local venues across the Forest of Dean. If you’d like a certain dress code for the chauffeur, just ask — we’ll note it on the booking.
Absolutely. We routinely cover Ross on Wye, Coleford, Cinderford, Newent and Lydney. The drivers know the best approaches to local halls and churches and will coordinate times to make sure arrivals are calm and on schedule.
We aim for transparency. The quote you receive will include travel time, chauffeur fees and any agreed extras. If additional miles are needed on the day, we’ll tell you in advance, not after the fact.
If you’d like to chat more — to ask about particular models like Rolls Royce or Bentley, or to check availability near Mitcheldean — give us a call or start a quick enquiry on our booking page. We love being part of local weddings and we’ll treat your day with the same care we’d give a neighbour’s. Oh, and if you’re driving past the town centre, say hello — we’re usually doing the rounds and can answer questions in person.
