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.

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.

What is the most original entrance you have given to a wedding couple?

Arriving in a camper van or beetle is pretty orginal for most!

What is your dream car and why?

If I had to choose just one, (I have so many) I would choose a 1959 Karmann Kabriolett Beetle. I'm a huge fan of early beetles and early cabriolet beetles are very rare now. They are just a cool piece of history, plus the roof comes down! What could be better?

What would be your No. 1 tip for arriving in style?

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.

What is your favourite movie car chase?

Gone in 60 seconds, where Nicholas Cage is in "Eleanor". If you know, you know!
