Myself and the other bridesmaids booked Gary and the car as a surprise for our Bride. Booking and communicating was very easy as was receiving his service on the day. The car arrived in plenty of time before we headed to the church then waited to take the bride and groom to the venue. After doing so he waited around as agreed and the bride and groom got some stunning photos with it as arranged upon booking. Gary was a lovely guy who's professional service meant we had nothing to worry about with the car. Would highly recommend! What a gorgeous car. We are very pleased and to say the Bride was too is an understatement : thank you.

Gary was absolutely fantastic from start to finish on our special day. He arrived early and was more than happy to do multiple runs to and from our venue to the church before the ceremony. After our ceremony he took us on a lovely trip around the countryside then back to the venue and was more than happy to stay while we and our guests had photos taken with his fantastic Beauford. I'd highly recommend Gary and Abbey Wedding Cars.

Where do i start. The most natural and professional photographs i have even had and experienced. Gary and his team were amazing and over the top on our wedding 10th December 2016. From consultation to the day it self was stress free and a joy for all. The wedding car was beautiful, clean, and complemented all our photos as described. I strongly recommend Abbey Wedding and Photography to your BIG DAY and EVENT.

Hired two wedding cars for our wedding. On the day the cars arrived early, although they had to change one of the cars at the last minute they upgraded the choice and the kids were in a mercedes AMG which they were happy about. Brilliant service and helpful throughout.
