Planning a Spring Wedding?

Book a London taxi for your wedding online or phone +44 (0)203 00 44 953

For Spring Weddings, a Wedding Taxi is a stylish alternative to an expensive limousine. Our Wedding Taxis are smart and comfortable. In addition to the Traditional Black Taxi, we offer the White Classic Fairway Taxi.

Here is what a few of our customers had to say about our Wedding Taxi Service:

“Thank you very much for taking my wife and her family to our wedding in Battersea Park. The service, you, and your driver Danny were all excellent. Best regards”
-Paul

Many thanks for the prompt service, clean cab and really humorous driver. A fantastic service and far better than a boring old Rolls Royce!
-Ian and Sandy

A Spring Wedding is naturally full of colour from the budding trees and flowers all around. There is a fresh and vibrant feel to a Spring Wedding. The promise of new beginnings is in the air.

Spring Weddings reflect the mood of the season with colours in yellows, pinks, and pale greens.

Think tulip bouquets

And floral-embroidered gowns

Daffodils on every table

A cherry blossom wedding cake

And a country garden

And you…arriving in your Spring glory in a smart and stylish Wedding Taxi.

Greet your guests with honey mead and  flower cupcakes. And afterwards, dazzle them with a Spring fireworks display! As the evening draws to close, the two of you step into your Wedding Taxi and drive off into the fragrant Spring night and into your new life together.

White Weddings

Book a Wedding Taxi Online or phone +44 (0)203 00 44 953

Did you know that the tradition of a white wedding began with Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress at her wedding to Prince Albert in 1840?

Royal brides before Victoria did not typically wear white, instead choosing heavy brocaded gowns embroidered with white and silver thread, with red being a particularly popular color in Western Europe.

European and American brides had been wearing a plethora of colors, including blue, yellow, and practical colors like black, brown, or gray. As accounts of Victoria’s wedding spread across the Atlantic and throughout Europe, many brides followed her lead.

From time to time, we like to share our recent customer comments with you. It gives you an idea of what we’ve been up to lately and makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside to know we have made our customer’s day just a little bit better.

On Tuesday 27th July you took my wife and myself from The Hall in Foster Lane to Victoria Station in the early evening. I left my back rest in your cab. You took the trouble to return it to the hall….above and beyond the call of duty! Very many thanks from a grateful customer. I hope this reaches you.
–from Stuart, 31 July 2010

Hi Mike, Just a quick note (slightly delayed due to my holiday) to say how pleased I was with the service provided for the late night taxi. The taxi driver was absolutely superb, very friendly and I felt very comfortable with him. I will definitely be recommending you to colleagues. Many thanks again,
–Jane Harris, Head of Settlement Operations, Visa Europe, 3 August 2010

Hi Mike, Paul was brilliant on the day, thanks for arranging everything so promptly! I’ve actually recommended your services to one of my bridesmaids who is getting married at the end of August so she should be getting in touch soon. All the best,
–Natalia 19th July 2010

We enjoyed our tours very much and will contact you again the next time we are in London. Thank you.
–Dolly Garcia 16th July 2010

Hi Mike, I would like to pass on the comments I have received for a service we booked with you on 7th July 2010. You provided a service that enabled our Health & Safety Consultant to attend a pre-arranged training session. This involved collecting said person from their home, taking them to Paddington Station, making sure they got on the train, and then repeating the service in the evening when the consultant returned. Most people would say that this service wasn’t remarkable except the consultant had a nasty accident the week before and is confined to a wheelchair at present. Your driver Paul who was assigned for this service was extremely helpful, nothing was too much bother. He assisted our consultant through what is a daunting experience when you are in a wheelchair, to Paddington Station and accompanied them until they were on the train. Then in the evening the same process was repeated. Our consultant has said in their words “He was Excellent”. So would you please pass on a big thank you to Paul, and we will definitely use your company again as & when required. Many thanks. –Jayne Stokes, Administrator, Radis Group Ltd 10th July 2010

Many thanks to Mike and London Black Taxis for an excellent and friendly service. My husband Graham as Senior Director of Music Household Division performs on many State Ceremonial Occasions in front of the Monarch where it is imperative that he is on time. We therefore need to know that a vehicle will arrive as requested and be able to efficiently negotiate the very busy streets of London in order that we reach his destination promptly. Recently some American friends left a camera in the back of a taxi and the driver went out of his way in order to return it for which we are very grateful. The drivers of London Black Taxis are to be commended and we would not hesitate in recommending their service which we believe is second to none! Susan Morgan Jones.12th June 2010

The “Meet and Greet – Safe Conduct” Black Taxi service has literally changed my life. As a busy working Mum I was having huge difficulties collecting my daughter from swim-training in the evenings whilst trying to get the baby ready for bed. It was impossible to be in two places at the same time. Now Chris picks my daughter up after swimming and brings her home for me. He is always on time, I have no worries whatsoever about my daughter’s safety, and she loves it because he has a television in the cab which we don’t have in the car! Brilliant!!!! Many many thanx. –Ann 22nd May 2010

A Stylish Taxi for your Winter Wedding

Book a Taxi for your wedding Online or phone +44 (0)7779 336 612

A Winter Wedding is naturally full of colour from the lights and festive decorations all around. There is a frosty and sparkly feel to an Winter Wedding. This time of year naturally lends itself to family occasions such as Weddings.

One big advantage to an off-peak wedding is the lower costs. You can save on hotel and function room bills by booking out of high season, and there is not as much competition for your desired venue. Caterers and photographers often offer similar discounts.

Another way to save is to use a Wedding Taxi instead of a limousine. Our Weddings Taxis are smart and comfortable. In addition to the traditional black taxi, we may be able to offer you a white, silver, green, blue, or red taxi (depending on our existing bookings at the time).

Here is what a few of our customers had to say about our Wedding Taxi Service:

Winter Weddings reflect the mood of the season with flower and outfit colours in snowy whites, frosty blues, berry reds, and holly greens

Think red roses and winter ivy
