Offering a fully professional chauffeur-driven service combined with a truly sublime customer experience, this excellent specialist wedding transport company is more than worthy of your consideration.

About

Andrew and Emma are a husband-and-wife team who share a strong passion for top-quality luxury cars, which led them to set up AJE Classics back in May 2010.

Emma herself is an experienced events organiser, and her husband Andrew is an incurable automobile technophile, with over 25 years of vehicle maintenance and restoration under his belt. Emma's abiding passion for cars and her vision of how special occasions like weddings typically pan out, in harness with Andrew's time-served ability to restore some of the most revered classic vehicles ever produced, makes for the winning combination that is AJE Classics.

Emma's experience and expertise with social events organisation means that she is additionally willing to offer her wedding planning services to marrying couples.

The Cars

The AJE fleet consists of two iconic 1960s Jaguars, the first of which is the Jaguar Mark 2 model. Mk 2s were originally built in Coventry from 1959 to 1967, and over 84,000 cars were shipped worldwide. Along with the E and S-type Jags, these models represent probably the most iconic cars in British automobile history - and riding in such a wonderful example en route to your wedding ceremony would be a true privilege, and furthermore, a stylish tribute to the United Kingdom!

The Mk2 comes in an opalescent blue (with a pearly/metallic finish), wire wheels and pale grey leather upholstery. This model was produced in 1963, and hides a respectable 3.4 litre engine under the bonnet.

The stunning S-Type Jag comes in a stunning and rare opalescent pale green. This highly prestigious 1966 saloon comes with a beastly 3.8 litre engine, and is more than capable of whisking you to your wedding in considerable style (and certainly on time).

Both of the chauffeur-driven cars can accommodate up to four passengers - but two or three if you want to be more comfortable!

Services

AJE's customer service is second to none. It's their pragmatic approach to the finer details - and yet presenting them in a simple and down-to-earth manner - that allows this company to stand out from the crowd.

Chauffeur-Driven

Andrew himself (or a family friend when you want more than one car) heads up the chauffeuring service. Having created and restored the cars himself, Andrew literally knows each vehicle inside-out. Always wearing a smart dark suit with a tie that matches the colour of the Jag you choose, your chauffeur will never be too obtrusive nor too distracting.

Unlike most rival wedding transport companies, AJE always perform a trial run of the planned itinerary shortly before the big day. This allows the chauffeur to get used to the route(s) including difficult points, possible roadworks and any other potential hazards. Not only does this give Andrew or his deputy up-to-date knowledge of the route in question, but also allows them to drive with the utmost confidence on the day, and know exactly where to stop for the obligatory romantic photographs!

Decorations

In a bid to keep things simple, and utilise the already immaculate interior of the Jag to its fullest, AJE just provide a high-quality silk or satin bonnet ribbon (white, ivory or cream), and a 'twinbrella' (2-person umbrella) which matches the colour of the car.

You are also welcome to view the cars at Andrew and Emma's home. Just get in touch for more details or to make an appointment.

Reviews

Claire & Jamie

We just wanted to write to thank you for the wonderful service, it was seamless from start to finish & you were so helpful & friendly throughout which really helped to calm our nerves. My Dad also really loved the car and the journey was one of his favourite parts of the day.
Jo & Nick

One of our best memories of the day is our 10 minute drive just after the ceremony, it was such a great idea from you guys and was a really special time after the ceremony, just to be alone and take it all in. Driving to the wedding in it with my Dad was also such a pleasure – thank you!
Emily & Andrew

I would recommend your services in a heartbeat to anyone getting married, the car was beyond beautiful and the service impeccable. Thank you for being so patient with me in the run up to the wedding, I was struggling quite a lot with everything that needed to be done and you gently organised/prompted me on this side of things which helped more than I can say.
Zoe & Jamie

Now that the wedding madness has come to an end Jamie and I just wanted to thank you both, the car was even more beautiful in person. Emma – you made that extra effort to make sure I was kept informed and I really appreciated your cheerful and friendly phone call the day before to put my mind at rest.Andrew – you really did go that extra mile for us. From being so patient, helping with suitcases and even taking my mum back to the cottage to collect her car. Thank you so much for being so kind.
Sara, Mother of the Groom

We would just like to thank you and Andrew for helping to make Harry & Tabitha’s wedding special. The car looked fantastic and the service was excellent. We thought you would like this photo.
Thank you both once again we would definitely recommend AJE classics.
