Channelle and Stuart’s Wedding at Maritime Chambers North Shields

13 September 2025Weddings

The North Tyneside Registry Office was the setting for a beautiful wedding as Channelle and Stuart exchanged vows, with their special day featuring a delightful vintage 1976 VW Campervan, affectionately known as 'Poppy'.

Poppy's journey began by making a stylish first trip, chauffeuring the mothers and bridesmaids to the ceremony. The vintage van then returned for its most important journey, bringing a radiant Channelle and her father to the venue.

Unfortunately, just as the van was arriving, the skies opened up with a sudden, heavy downpour. Luckily, the rain ceased as soon as the bridal party was safely inside, allowing the ceremony to proceed with no further weather worries.

After the couple said their "I dos," guests were thrilled to see the charming campervan, with many expressing their admiration. The happy couple and their wedding party took advantage of the dry weather for photos with Poppy outside the registry office.

The celebrated VW then performed two more trips, ferrying the newlyweds and their party to the stunning reception venue, The View in Tynemouth. The short journeys provided a final opportunity to enjoy the retro charm of the van before the reception celebrations began.

We send our warmest congratulations to Channelle and Stuart on their marriage and wish them a lifetime of happiness together.

Tessa and Sean’s Wedding at Wylam Brewery

13 September 2025Weddings

Wylam Brewery was the setting for a beautiful day as Tess and Sean celebrated their wedding. Adding a unique and charming touch to their special day was our vintage 1976 VW Campervan, affectionately known as 'Poppy,' which handled the wedding transport in true retro style.

The day's journey began at the elegant Hotel du Vin near the Quayside. In a carefully coordinated series of trips, Poppy first chauffeured the groom, Sean, and his groomsmen to the venue. The van then returned to collect the bridesmaids, ensuring they all arrived together.

The final and most anticipated trip was for the bride, Tess, and her father. As Poppy made its way through Newcastle city centre, the classic van garnered lots of attention, drawing smiles and waves from onlookers.

The weather held up perfectly for the day's travels, with dry conditions and sunny spells providing a bright backdrop, even with some grey clouds on the horizon. The iconic campervan proved to be a popular sight, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.

The blend of the classic VW's charm and the unique backdrop of Wylam Brewery made for a truly memorable wedding for Tess and Sean. We send our warmest congratulations to the happy couple.

Cali and Scott’s Wedding at The Hedworth Hall

6 September 2025Weddings

The beautiful Hedworth Hall was the setting for a perfect wedding day as Cali and Scott tied the knot, with their transport provided by a much-loved vintage 1976 VW Campervan.

The day began with the iconic campervan chauffeuring the groom, Scott, and his party on a scenic drive to the venue, adding a touch of laid-back charm to their arrival.

Next, it was the turn of the bridesmaids. However, a slight delay occurred as guests were still gathered outside, and the bridesmaids were keen to maintain the element of surprise. In a moment of quick thinking, the driver provided an impromptu "mini-tour" of the town, allowing ten minutes to pass before returning to the venue for a grand entrance.

The final and most anticipated trip was for the bride herself, as Cali and her father were collected and brought to the venue to meet a waiting Scott.

Throughout the day, the weather was wonderful—nice, warm, and dry—providing a perfect backdrop for the celebrations. The vintage VW Campervan proved to be a huge hit with everyone, drawing smiles and admiration from guests who couldn't get enough of its classic style.

The unique transport and thoughtful planning added to the memorable occasion for Cali and Scott. We send our warmest congratulations to the happy couple and wish them all the best for their future together.

Poppy at the Ushaw Classic Car Show

31 August 2025News

Our beloved vintage 1976 VW Campervan, affectionately known as 'Poppy,' made a memorable appearance at the Ushaw Classic Car Show, proving to be a star attraction despite a slightly bumpy start to the day.

The morning began with unexpected delays, as road closures and even a faulty petrol pump threatened to disrupt our journey. However, the fantastic weather—a perfect mix of dry air, sunshine, and a cloudless blue sky—more than made up for the initial hiccups.

On the half-hour drive down to Durham, the journey itself became part of the adventure. We were soon joined by other classic vehicles heading to the same event, forming an impressive and unscheduled convoy that turned heads all the way to the show's entrance.

Upon arrival, the scale of the event was immediately clear. The show field was bustling with visitors and almost overflowing with an incredible mix of classic cars, from vintage sports models to American muscle. The vibrant atmosphere was a testament to the thriving classic car community.

'Poppy' was set up for display in full wedding trim, showcasing its potential as a charming and unique wedding car. The effort paid off, as the van proved to be incredibly popular. Visitors flocked to take photos of 'Poppy' and showed great interest in its use for weddings, with many people picking up our leaflets.

The day was a huge success, celebrating a shared passion for classic vehicles and confirming that 'Poppy' remains a firm favourite with the public. We look forward to the next show!

Aaron and Tegan’s Wedding in Sunderland

30 August 2025Weddings

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sunderland was the beautiful venue for the wedding of Tegan and Aaron, a day that celebrated their union with elegance and style.

The bride, Tegan, made a sophisticated arrival, chauffeured to the church from a local hotel in a sleek Chrysler 300c wedding car. The modern luxury vehicle added a touch of contemporary flair to the morning's proceedings.

With both the wedding ceremony and the reception taking place at the same venue, guests were able to seamlessly transition from the heartfelt vows to the joyous celebrations that followed. This thoughtful arrangement ensured the day flowed smoothly, allowing everyone to focus on the happy couple.

The Chrysler 300c’s journey, though short, was a memorable start to a day full of love and happiness. We send our warmest congratulations to Tegan and Aaron as they begin their married life together.

Ben and Jane’s Wedding at Wrekenton Methodist Church

30 August 2025Weddings

Wrekenton Methodist Church was the scene of heartfelt vows today as Ben and Jane began their journey as husband and wife, with their special day featuring a delightful surprise and a memorable detour.

Adding a unique touch to their celebration, a vintage 1976 VW Campervan was secretly booked to handle the wedding transport, kept under wraps from the eager guests. The day began with the charming campervan chauffeuring members of the bridal party to the church. It then returned to collect a radiant Jane and her father for their journey to the altar.

However, a last-minute realisation at the church saw the bride momentarily without her bouquet! Without hesitation, the dedicated VW Campervan whisked Jane back home to retrieve her forgotten flowers, returning to the church (just a little bit late!) to finally begin the ceremony. The weather, a mix of sunshine and looming dark grey rain clouds, thankfully held off throughout these exciting moments.

Following their beautiful ceremony, the newlyweds, Ben and Jane, embarked on a celebratory journey to their reception at the popular Wylam Brewery. The happy couple enjoyed a scenic drive through Newcastle City, toasting their new life together with sips of prosecco in the comfort of their secret vintage ride.

The day's blend of unexpected adventure, thoughtful service, and unique transport made for an unforgettable wedding for Ben and Jane and all who shared in their special day. We extend our warmest congratulations to them both!
