Huge thank you!

Dear Bus and Bug Vintage Weddings, We wanted to say a huge thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special. Peggy provided us with the perfect way to travel to and from our ceremony. She was beautifully kitted out, inside and out, with ribbons and bows on the exterior and everything we could have ever needed inside from tissues and blankets (much needed on one of the coldest days in December!) to prosecco for the drive back to our reception. These little details were much appreciated!

Such an amazing addition to our wedding.

We had our wedding in July and hired bus and bug at very last minute but I am so glad we did! We decided on transport of the bridal party to the venue, the highlight being the amazing tunes on route! We had the photo booth later on and the photos were amazing! Everyone commented on how much fun it was. It really was such an amazing addition to the wedding. The communication was brilliant and the website made it really easy to book and pick the style to suit your day.

Amazing service!

We were so happy with Kate we don’t know where to start! She arrived early, she looked great, she made us at ease and even held our drinks for us every time we got in and out of the campervan! Would highly recommend Kate to make your wedding day that little bit more special x

A perfect addition to the day

Mr Tickle looked so perfect for the day with the flower garland along the bumper! It was everything I had dreamed (and pinned on Pinterest) coming to life. We felt so relaxed and the music on the way to the church helped me keep my cool! After the ceremony we were given a bottle of processeco each which added to the festivities! It was just the perfect fit for the perfect day!

Fantastic!!

We were looking for a Personal and Bespoke Transport Service for our Vintage themed Wedding and we found Bus and Bug. Kate and her team were the Best and we hired Rupert for our special day which totally made it!! If I could give more stars, I'd be giving 10/10 without a second thought.

Fantastic vehicles, amazing service

From start to end, Kate and her team were superb. They were professional, friendly and added little personal touches that added that extra sparkle to our wedding day. The vehicles were prestine and beautifully presented. I would highly recommend.

Thank you again for making our day so special.

Hi Kate and Jack, myself and my husband (its been nearly 3 months and I'm still not used to saying that!) wanted to say thank you again for making our day so special. Rupert and Mr Tickle were perfect and it was made even more special when I found out that my mum used to own a car just like Mr Tickle (before I was born). I know it meant a lot to my family and my dad when they saw me turn up in the car, so thank you. The flowers on the front were just brilliant. All my favourite colours, so beautifully done. Both you and Jack were fantastic, you both helped keep me calm when things got a bit manic and I am eternally grateful for the deodorant and wipes that were supplied (I was not expecting the weather to be so hot!) Good luck for the future, I hope you get to do many more events as you guys and the vehicles are amazing. Thanks again Love The Burridges (Emma and Jonno) xx

Thank you

We hired Mr Tickle for our wedding. We were extremely happy with him and his owner Kate. He is a beautiful bug and we would happily hire him again. We cannot thank Kate enough for her friendly and welcoming manner and looking after us on our special day.

Choose a car that you love or that holds specials memories for you or your family and give yourself more time than you think you'll need so you don't feel stressed or flustered when you arrive.
