Amanda used Kingsbridge Chauffeurs for both her hen-do and on her wedding day and she would highly recommend our services because:

 

“I was highly impressed on both occasions by both the car and driver both were to a high professional level and standard; and the ability to put a nervous bride at ease. The guests who used the minibus couldn’t praise it highly enough on both comfort and style.”
