Don’t just arrivemake an entrance

Mabel can carry up to six passengers plus me, your chauffeur, depending on dresses, comfort and space, making her a flexible choice for vintage VW Camper wedding transport. One passenger seat, at the front beside me, has a seat belt, so we can carry at most one child under three; please tell us any children’s ages when you enquire. We will always talk through your passenger plans in advance to make sure the journey is comfortable and suitable for your wedding party.

We are based in Stratford-upon-Avon and cover Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, the Midlands and the Cotswolds. If your venue is just outside these areas, please just ask us anyway. Mabel has literally travelled the globe, she's adventurous so loves a journey (within reason).

Each package includes a 50-mile round journey, measured from Mabel's home base in Stratford-upon-Avon and back again. If your collection points, ceremony and reception venues mean your day is likely to go over that, just let us know when you enquire — we'll give you a bespoke quote for the extra mileage rather than a fixed per-mile rate, since every route and timing is different.

Yes, we only do weddings, and that includes civil ceremonies and civil partnerships, wherever they take place. Every Chrome & Confetti wedding is covered by specialist chauffeured wedding-hire insurance, covering Mabel's full capacity of six passengers plus chauffeur, and our insurance terms won't allow us to provide any additional Mabel services outside of weddings, sorry.

Absolutely, and there is no charge for this. If you would like to meet Mabel before making a decision, we can arrange a viewing by appointment. It is a lovely way to see her colour, space and personality properly, and to work out how she could fit into your day.

No, absolutely not. Mabel has standards, you know. We only take one wedding per day so your booking has our full and undivided attention, your timetable has breathing space and nobody feels rushed.

We are based in England, so we plan for four seasons in one day, whether that means sunshine, drizzle, dramatic skies and everything in between. Mabel has umbrellas and cosy blankets on board as standard, and we will always do what we can to keep things calm, practical and of course photo-friendly for all.

Absolutely, yes — Mabel loves dressing up. We can dress Mabel with ribbons and bows to complement your colour scheme on the day. Whether you want classic ivory, soft pastels, bold brights or something a little bit unexpected, we will talk through the options and your requirements before you confirm your booking, including flowers to match the day if you would like them.

Yes, she would be upset if you didn't. Mabel is very photogenic and mildly vain about it. We build various photo times into our packages, whether that is couple portraits, family shots, bridal party fun or a quick newlywed moment away from the crowd. And if you would like a few photos on your own phone, I am always happy to take them.

Yes, we supply chilled water as standard for all Mabel's passengers on the day. If you want something in addition, just tell us what you would like — whether that is Champagne, wine, beer or soft drinks — and we will have it ready and waiting, super chilled in Mabel's large fridge. Mints, tissues, hand fans and a little emergency kit are on board too, just in case.

As early as possible please, especially for peak wedding season, bank holidays and popular weekends. Once your date, venue and timings are taking shape, send us a quick enquiry and we will personally check Mabel's diary for you. She only does one wedding per day, and she does hate disappointing people.

Mabel takes weddings from May to September. From October to April she’s having her beauty sleep – tucked up in the garage for the full spa treatment: a service, a wax and polish, and a jolly good back scrub. (She’s worth it.) It’s all part of why she turns up gleaming on your big day.

If Mabel is available and you are happy with your quotation, your date is secured once your Booking Agreement is signed and your 33% booking deposit has been paid. Until both are in, the date stays open to other couples. The remaining balance and final timings will be confirmed in line with the booking terms we provide at enquiry stage.

Absolutely — every Mabel day is shaped around the couple. Your package is the starting point, not a set menu. Tell us about your day in the enquiry form — the timings, the people travelling and the little touches that matter to you — and we'll suggest the package that fits and shape it around your day. Everything is confirmed in your personalised quotation, so there are no surprises.

Yes. With years of hospitality and event experience behind us, we are very happy to help sense-check timings, routes, waiting time and photo opportunities. We cannot control traffic, tractors or Auntie Sue deciding she has lost her handbag, but we can plan properly around the things we can control. And if none of our packages quite fits your day, we will happily tailor-make one around it.

Mabel is meticulously maintained, with regular services, a voluntary annual MOT and a check-over before every wedding, so problems are very rare, if ever. We also carry breakdown and recovery cover. But we'd rather be honest with you: on the day itself, a replacement vehicle rarely arrives in time to save the moment. If we're ever unable to fulfil your confirmed booking, you'll receive a full refund of everything you've paid.

Absolutely, yes. If you are spending the whole day at one venue, we can add an optional “Just Married” drive or relaxed photo session so you still get that newlywed escape, the vintage VW moment and the photographs without needing a traditional transfer. Think of it as a little pocket of calm between the ceremony and the celebrations.

We will ask you to confirm suitable parking, access and any width, height or rural-track restrictions with your venue ahead of the day. Mabel is adventurous, but she is still a classic VW, so a little practical checking helps everything run smoothly.

Mabel has a standard camper-width door and we have a step available to help with getting in and out. I will also be on hand to assist where appropriate, and we are always happy to talk through comfort or mobility considerations before the day.

Completely. Love is love, families come in all shapes and sizes and wedding days should feel like that too. We are here for joyful couples, chosen families, big parties, small gatherings and anyone who wants their wedding transport to feel warm, welcoming and memorable.

Good question, and one we take seriously. Every enquiry runs through its own tracked journey from first message to wedding day, so nothing gets missed. You'll receive a personalised written quotation, a clear booking agreement, a dedicated Wedding Day Overview nearer the time, and friendly updates at each milestone — the planning call, the balance reminder, the final checks — so you always know exactly where things stand, without needing to chase us for it.
