REGENT LANDAULETTE

Regent Landaulette Hire: The Smaller Classic with a Folding Roof

A small wedding does not need a grand car. The Regent is an upright, polished landaulette with a rounded roof, bright chrome and a friendly, old-fashioned face, and it looks right outside a village church or a register office.

It seats up to six, which is enough for the couple and a few of the people closest to them, and it’s compact enough to reach places a larger car can’t.

What You’re Hiring: A Landaulette with Character

The Regent is a landaulette, with a rear roof that folds back, so you can arrive in the open air without committing to a car that has no roof at all.

The shape is tall and upright, with a long running board and traditional lamps, and it carries a quiet charm that tends to win over older guests. Many remember cars like it, and younger guests enjoy the photographs.

Why Couples Pick the Regent over a Bigger Car

A bigger car means more presence but also more fuss. The Regent suits couples who want a classic wedding car without the scale. It parks more easily, turns more readily and fits a small venue without making it look crowded.

It also suits budgets that are tighter than a Rolls Royce allows, while still giving you a chauffeur, a polished vintage car and a proper arrival.

Deciding on the Roof Before the Day

We suggest agreeing a plan with your chauffeur before the day. If the forecast looks doubtful, the roof stays up and the cabin stays dry. If the weather turns while you are at the ceremony, the car can leave with the roof raised, and the photographs can happen under cover at the venue instead.

If you want a lighter, less formal car with an open feel, this is a good fit. If you would rather be sure of staying covered, tell us and we will talk through the alternatives.

Six Seats, Upright Seating and Room for a Veil

Inside, the Regent seats up to six. The rear seat sits high and upright, with a good view of the road and plenty of headroom, so a veil, a hat or a tall hairstyle doesn’t brush the roof.

It’s a traditional cabin rather than a modern one, so don’t expect air conditioning or a screen. What you do get is a sense of occasion, and a seat that suits a full skirt better than most low saloons.

Small Weddings, Register Offices and Short Journeys

The Regent suits weddings with fewer guests and shorter journeys, such as a register office ceremony, a village church or a small garden venue. It doesn’t need much room to arrive, and it looks right whether you’re stepping out at a town hall or a country gate.

For a couple with a few close family members, six seats cover the essentials: the couple, parents or bridesmaids, and a witness or two. If you want a larger party in the same car, our Bramwith Landaulette seats seven, and for a big group a limousine suits better.

How the Regent Looks in Photographs

Cream or white paintwork against greenery looks soft and traditional, and the chrome picks up the light. A photographer will often shoot the couple beside the running board, or leaning on the open roof area.

Overcast days suit the car well, as the paintwork stays warm without glare. If you have a favourite spot, such as a churchyard gate or a village green, tell us the time and we’ll plan the arrival to match.

Narrow Lanes, Church Gates and Tight Corners

The Regent’s smaller size is a real advantage. Narrow village lanes, short church drives and small car parks rarely cause problems, and it can often reach the door when a longer car can’t.

Tell us the venue and we will confirm the drop-off before the day.
