Arriving in Style - Picking Wedding Cars

I know zero about cars, nada, zilch. But when it came to picking wedding cars I knew one thing - they had to be classic. I'm not a big fan of modern wedding cars, they just aren't my style but they look great with a more modern wedding theme.

I researched a few local car companies online and spoke to a couple of them about the cars they had and their prices etc. but whenever I spoke to David from Klass Cars it was such a refreshing change from the usual sales pitches the other companies had given me.

David, unlike a lot of the others, didn't expect me to know everything about the cars, about how many would fit in each, how long journeys would really take and the transport plan for the day.

 David patiently let me explain my wedding party to him, where we would all be setting off from and to and ask him lots of questions about what would happen with the cars on the day, he then very kindly explained the plan to me and answered all the questions.

 He told me 'I'm the expert, I've done this before, you haven't, I wouldn't expect you to know all this'  - whether you are currently planning your wedding or are already married, I'm sure you'll already know that a lot of wedding suppliers do not realise this simple fact!

After checking out the different cars on the Klass Cars website, we decided on the 1964 Princess (yes this was due partly to it's name) for the Bridal car and the black & ivory Daimler for the Grooms car.

David organised for the Daimler to first take Ross and the boys to Mount Stewart and then come to my house to collect the bridesmaids and my mum, my dad and I travelled in the Princess to the ceremony. After the ceremony, the bridesmaids and groomsmen travelled to the reception in the Daimler and Ross and I took the Princess.

 

I would highly recommend Klass Cars to anyone looking for a car for a wedding or event, nothing beats arriving in style.

Thank you once again David and Klass Cars!

Always dreamed of getting married in a castle?

This could be your dream come true!

Narrow Water Castle is a truly magical and romantic venue for a wedding.

Originally built in 1816, by Thomas Duff, a well known architect, it is the
 home of the Hall family who have lived at Narrow Water since 1670. The
 estate extends to over 700 acres, and is a beautiful setting, overlooking
 Carlingford Lough and the Cooley Mountains.

There are various options available for weddings:

Wedding Cermonies
 

 

The Great Hall or Vaulted Cellars can be used for wedding ceremonies
 prior to your reception. This wood panelled room is a beautiful place in
 which to exchange your wedding vows. The variety of rooms on offer makes
 this a truly spectacular and unique wedding venue.

Weddings in the Castle

The Castle can accommodate wedding receptions for up to 120 people
 in The Great Hall or The Vaulted Cellars. You may use some of the grand
 living rooms upstairs for photographic purposes; as the Hall family live in
 the castle, the living rooms can only be used at previously agreed times.

Marquee Weddings

 

A marquee can be erected in the gardens to accommodate larger
 weddings, from 100 – 300 people. This option provides you with the same
 level of quality food and service, while allowing you to have more of a say
 in the layout etc, as marquees can be customised to suit individual tastes
 and preferences.

So if you want your real life 'princess moment' , contact Narrow Water Castle 02837552548, or
