About Us
Our 1946 and 1948 classic wedding cars are regularly serviced and maintained. They have brown leather interior and spacious seating. Each car is decorated with ribbons and floral displays, which will match the colour of your special day.
Each Austin can be hired individually or you can take advantage of this rare opportunity on the Isle of Wight to hire a matching pair or even all three Chauffeured wedding cars (subject to availability) for your wedding day. The second and third cars are most commonly used for Bridesmaid's and Parents of the Bride and Groom. As a reputable company, we have public liability insurance and as Chauffeurs, we have enhanced CRB checks.
Typically…
The Bridal party are collected and taken to the place of the Ceremony. The married couple are then chauffeured to the Reception. En route, we are able to offer a complimentary ‘Bottle of Bubbly’, thus making an excellent photo opportunity and a chance to relax together.
Before arriving at the Reception you may also wish to stop for some formal photographs, which you may have discussed with your Photographer. This is something we are happy to do and will need to be discussed before your big day.
We are more than willing to meet with you should you consider our services. This will give you the chance to meet with your Chauffeur and see the Vintage wedding cars and to ask any questions you
may have.
Once both parties have confirmed availability for attendance, we then require a £100 non-refundable deposit (per car) to secure your booking. On receipt of this, we will then forward to you in writing, confirmation of collection times and costing. Approximately five days prior to the Ceremony, we will contact you to finalise the details, thus giving you piece of mind and reassurance. We also carry large umbrellas should the weather be inclement and also bottled water should any of the party require a refreshment throughout the journey.
Although we have set procedures and service, we appreciate everybody is different, so don’t be afraid to ask us if there is something particular you would like… after all, it is your day. Rest assured, your wedding transport is in good hands.

Testimonials
'Everyone said how absolutely fantastic and respectful you both were, and we had lots of compliments on the cars also. Having both cars was absolutely beautiful and made our day just that little extra special'
Simon & Gemma, July 11th 2008.
'Lou and I were absolutely over the moon with the level of service we received. The smallest touches you both gave were such a big thing, and a credit to your service. The only thing that Lou and I regret is that the day never lasted longer and that we had more time in "our little gem" of a car. Many many thanks for a great and very exciting journey with NOSTALGIC CARRIAGES'.
Louise & Stuart, 30th August 2008

'We had a fantastic wedding day and agree that both your cars and your service made the day for us. You simply made it feel so special. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is looking for that extra special finishing touch and it was wonderful to travel in such luxury. Your attention to detail was amazing and all our guests, without exception, thought the cars were so classy and special.'
Tracy & Neil, March 28th 2009
'Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your hard work and driving on Saturday 23rd May. Both cars looked truly stunning and we don't underestimate the work that must go on behind the scenes to keep the Austins looking so splendid. We genuinely felt like we were traveling in style and had many compliments from our guests about our choice of wedding transport. Thank you as well for all your attention to detail and advance planning - no mean feat considering the number of dirt tracks we threw at you. We always felt completely confident we'd arrive safely and on time, and our drive around Arreton and Newchurch after the ceremony made for a welcome period of peace and relaxation.
Thank you again for everything - it was a perfect day and we're very grateful for your contribution.'
Rowena & Paul, May 23rd 2009
'Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding day so special. The car was just so perfect but it was the little touches that made everything stand out - your friendliness, the champagne and the much needed bottles of water at the end of the night. We really appreciated the routes you took - making sure that we took in some stunning views of the Island.
It all meant a great deal to us and we're very grateful.'
Jessica & Joe, July 18th 2009
'Thank you very much for helping to make our day so special - we will not forget you.'

Congratulations on a first class service. We were exceptionally pleased with the service you provided for our daughter Joanne's wedding on 24th April. The attention to detail and friendly professional service were second to none. We were so glad we entrusted your 'carriages' on this special day.

We just wanted to drop you guys an email now that we’re back from Honeymoon to give our heartfelt thanks to you for making our day special. The car was beautifully decorated and I know all of our guests were taken by how wonderful it looked. Thanks toNicholas for the assistance not only he gave to me and Emily, but also to Emily’s parents. It was great to have someone on hand who has such a calming influence on such a big day. It was also reassuring to know that our wedding transport
was in the hands of such professionals.
