Your choice of Wedding Car is very important and we are honoured to be able to share your special moment with you. We firmly believe it is our responsibility to help you make your special day the one you so rightly deserve! Our car is owned and operated by us with full Wedding and Public Liability insurances.
We only perform one wedding per day, so you'll not be rushed in order for us to scoot off to another couple, or delayed due to a hold up on a prior service. We will collect you from wherever you're getting ready and take you to the church in time for you to have a couple of arrival photographs taken before your ceremony starts.

We used Brian and Cathedral Cars for our 2020 wedding and cannot recommend highly enough!
With all the other stresses involved in a COVID safe wedding. Brian (owner and our chauffeur for the day) not only made his part of it purely amazing, with his attentiveness to detail, like bottles of water and glasses of champagne, to his calm and gentlemanly demeanour, but when able and appropriate, kindly helped out with other bits, like helping my new wife keep her dress dry whilst having photos taken. Brian also treated us to a lovely drive through the New Forest in-between our ceremony and Wedding Breakfast

100% would recommend Brian and cathedral cars, he made my new wife’s day perfect. He really went above and beyond to make sure every part of her day was extra special.
He arrived early to make sure there was no delay, he helped Stacey with her dress in and out of the car and even round the venue (defiantly not part of his job)
He was very approachable, and polite and made extra time to introduce himself to me as we hadn’t actually met. As I said I wouldn’t hesitate to introduce the company or Brian to any of our friends or family looking to use such a beautiful car and fantastic driver

We hired the 1934 Rolls Royce for our bridal car, driven by owner Brian. It had always been my dream to have a vintage Rolls as my wedding car and Cathedral Cars did not disappoint!
From the get go Brian was super friendly and professional, even taking in his stride when another vendor let me down, having a knock on effect on the journey from a different hotel to my venue - he was so understanding and helped to make me less stressed! Communication was so easy and he was great at letting me know everything i needed to know for the day (timings etc, where was the best place for him to pick me up

Absolutely wonderful! The car was amazing and Brian was incredible! The weather wasn't great to begin with on our day and he made sure I was kept dry and that my dress wasn't getting ruined! Our ceremony and reception was at the same venue, but Brian waited during our ceremony so that my husband and I could have a short drive together and some photos with the car which really made our day that little bit more special. Even after the drive, Brian stayed for some time, helping carry my train and keeping it out of puddles! It was such a pleasure to have Brian involved in our wedding day, thank you

Shocking behaviour, exceptionally Rude.
My partner and i came across one of their cars parked outside a venue in Fareham and went over to enquire about hire for our wedding.
We approached smiling and i put out my hand to shake the drivers hand while introducing myself only to be met with crossed arms and an arrogant and condescending stare for about 15 seconds while i explained who i was and why i was coming over, hand still held out in front of me.
It wasn't until the guy realised he could sell us something that he then proceeded to uncross his arms and go to fetch a brochure. Needless
