Fabulous Feedback

As part of the voting process clients had to provide feedback, here is a small selection of what people said:

“On the day, we had Matt as our driver. He was amazing, arrived half an hour early so no rushing and made suggestions about where to have photos taken. He made us feel totally relaxed. Nothing was too much, I cannot thank them or recommend them enough. Driving around was a highlight of the day.”

“Staff were so friendly and happy to help. The driver was wonderful & very calming on our big day. Price was excellent & was worth every penny. Driver offered water and drove safely & smoothly. The car was beautiful and I recommended this company to a friend who's using them for her wedding in April.”

They were also very flexible on the day listening to our needs and agreeing too”

“Value for money.”

“They were very well priced and had gorgeous cars. They were so friendly too.”

“We found them on the internet and after exchanging a couple of emails we could tell how helpful, friendly and professional they were. It is worth noting that Spirit Wedding Cars was the only supplier we booked without meeting first - based purely on communications via email. We could tell straight away that they were the suppliers for us!”

“Price and choice of car.”

“Recommended by a friend, and they gave us a better price than other company with same car.”

“As soon as we viewed the cars we loved them, the service we were given was also exceptional and the price was very reasonable and even included a free bottle of Champagne so it was all round exactly what we were looking for with no hassle!”

“We chose Spirit Wedding Cars as the cars they had were absolutely stunning inside and out. We have been to weddings where the cars are lovely on the outside, but not so much inside. Matt could not do enough to help us and even had a couple of practice runs before the wedding so he made sure he got the route and timings right. Such a professional, I could sing their praises all day!”

“Recommended by a friend.”

“The cars are beautiful & you can tell that Matthew & Wendy have a real passion for what they do which is infectious!”

“I liked the Seafrost Green Jaguar! With hindsight we are glad we didn't choose anyone else.”

“Colleague has recommended them based on their experience of Spirit wedding Cars.”

“I booked with them because the website was very clear and easy to navigate, they were very quick and professional when responding to email queries and I thought the price was very reasonable. They gave me a lot of confidence to use their company on my big day. And I am glad I did!”

“We looked at a few options but when we met with SWC they were so friendly and had the cars made up ready to show us, that it was a 'no-brainer' to go with them.”

“They provided the ideal option I was looking for in terms of vehicles available and were very quick and informative when responding to my initial query when I was looking to select wedding cars.”

“My husband booked after lengthy discussions with numerous companies and was assured of the service that they would provide by their confident nature.”

“Local, price was good , cars looked great and we were made to feel like they wanted our business.”

“The car was so comfy!”

“They were the closet to where we were having the ceremony and reception and were reasonably priced. They had vintage cars including a Rolls Royce (which we went for). We required multi-pick ups which some companies were going to charge extra for and Spirit Wedding Cars were more than happy to accommodate this with no extra fee.”

“Cars looked great, prices were the cheapest and they were very polite to deal with, nothing was too much trouble.”

“The car was beautiful and the family so friendly.”

“We saw their website, liked the look of the website and the cars they offered. The price was also beyond competitive. Then we went to speak to them and look at the cars at a wedding fayre. The cars we as good in reality as they were in the photos and the company representatives we meet were courteous and enthusiastic. After meeting them in person we knew they were the wedding car service we wanted.”

“We were able to view all of the cars available, and were not pressured into booking. All cars were very well looked after. Every detail was covered at the initial meeting from the colour of the ribbon on the car to the optional booking of champagne.”

“Spoke to one of the partners at a wedding showcase and automatically knew that they were the ones to book for our big day.”

“Loved the look of the car when seen.”

“Our wedding was taking place over the whole weekend and remaining in the same venue for the Ceremony and Reception. After some deliberating I decided I wanted to stay at home the night before which meant we needed transport. After searching the internet we found a number of companies that we emailed with our dates and requirements. Spirit were very quick to come back to me and when your organising a wedding this is so important as you email so many people that you easily forget who you've contacted when you've not had a response. We communicated to arrange to see their cars but soon found out that they were due to go on holiday. Obviously we needed to get something booked urgently before the specific car we wanted from them or other companies were to get booked out by another couple and so instead of just palming us off until they returned they arranged for the cars to be with their parents at their house. They were so accommodating seeing us on a Sunday as my now Husband works away a lot in the week and I quite often at weekends. They were so friendly offering us a cup of tea and showing us their stunning cars. Our venue also had an incredibly steep slope that some vehicles struggle to get up and so we explained this to Spirit who were not concerned at all and said they would go and have a look themselves to try it and of course they were right. They spent all morning picking my dad up from the venue first to bring him to me before we got in and set off together. The car, as was the driver (which was the lovely Father we had already met when viewing the car) was a stunning vision as it came around the corner. Beautifully clean and totally magical. Incredibly professional and friendly are words that describe Spirit completely and I shall be recommending them to anyone I know who would needs vehicles as they really go the extra mile and offer an impeccable service. Thank you Spirit.”
