If you’re getting married in Skelmersdale (WN8) or nearby — Rainford, Ormskirk, Wigan, Kirkby or Ince in Makerfield — you want a wedding car that fits the day, the weather (yes, Lancashire does its own thing) and the photos. At Wedding Car Hire UK we talk like neighbours: cordial, straightforward and a little proud of the county. We’ve spent nearly 20 years matching couples to the right vehicles, whether that’s for a church service, a civil partnership, a rustic barn celebration or a smart hotel reception in town.
Our Fleet is deliberately wide because every wedding tells a different story. You’ll find classic motors for a timeless entrance and contemporary cars for a slick, modern arrival. Think Rolls-Royce and Bentley alongside Mercedes, Jaguar, Range Rover and even a Tesla for a greener option. We also connect couples with specialist vintage wedding car hire like the Beauford Convertible or Austin Princess when a period look is what you’re after.
If the dress calls for cinematic photos and careful handling, our Classic Cars deliver that soft-engine hum, leather sheen and respectful chauffeur etiquette — perfect for shots near Rufford Old Hall or an estate drive through the West Lancashire lanes.
When you prefer something contemporary, our Modern Luxury options — Mercedes S-Class, Jaguar XJ, Bentley Flying Spur — give you cutting-edge comfort, A/C for summer and discreet technology for smooth arrivals at hotels and city venues.
Couples often ask about wedding transport packages. Our Packages range from a single bridal car right through to full transport plans for the bridal party, groomsmen and guests. We coordinate multiple cars, minibuses or coaches and time everything so photos, the registrar and speeches aren’t interrupted by transport hiccups.
A Full Packages option covers the bride’s car, groom’s car, attendants’ cars and guest transfers. We’ll help schedule photo stops — perhaps along the canal in Ormskirk or the tree-lined lanes around Wigan — and provide an itinerary your wedding planner can share with suppliers.
If you only need a single bridal car, our Single-Car Bookings are simple: pick the model, choose ribbons/flowers to match your palette and we’ll handle the timings and chauffeur brief.
Every vehicle is chauffeur-driven. Our Chauffeurs are professional, uniformed and trained in wedding etiquette — helping with the dress, coordinating with photographers, and being discreet while keeping everything punctual. They’ll know how to ease the bride from the car without stepping on hems and will liaise with venues in Skelmersdale and across Lancashire so you don’t have to.
Whether your ceremony is at a historic church, a country estate or a boutique hotel, we’ll plan the route so your photos look effortless. Popular local spots include venues around Ormskirk’s market area, country houses near Rufford and leafy lanes towards Rainford. The gleam of the car under a low Lancashire sun, a quiet roadside stop for portraits, or a grand arrival at a castle-like venue — we help orchestrate these moments.
