Looking for wedding car hire in Southend-on-Sea with a little more character than a traditional wedding car? The White Van Wedding Company provides chauffeur-driven vintage VW campervans for weddings, civil ceremonies and receptions throughout Southend and the surrounding Essex area.
Our two vintage Volkswagens, Georgie and Jimi, offer a relaxed and memorable alternative to conventional wedding transport. Whether you need a journey to your ceremony, onward transport to your reception or time for photographs with the campervan, we can plan the hire around your wedding day.
We have genuinely provided wedding transport in the Southend area, including weddings at Apton Hall and Southend Register Office, with real photographs from local weddings shown on this page.
Vintage VW Wedding Cars Available in Southend
We have two beautifully presented vintage Volkswagen campervans available for weddings in and around Southend-on-Sea.
Georgie – 1965 VW Split Screen
Georgie is our 1965 split screen Volkswagen campervan and can carry up to five passengers.
His unmistakable vintage styling makes him a memorable alternative to a conventional wedding car and a fantastic feature for wedding photographs.
Georgie is chauffeur-driven and can be decorated with ribbons and flower garlands to complement your wedding colours.
Jimi – 1970 VW Bay Window
Jimi is our 1970 Volkswagen bay window campervan and can carry up to six passengers.
With his classic VW shape, spacious interior and relaxed character, Jimi is ideal for couples, bridesmaids and wedding parties looking for wedding transport with plenty of personality.
Both campervans are prepared especially for each wedding and include a chauffeur.
Southend Wedding Venues We’ve Actually Worked At
We don’t simply list Southend as somewhere we are willing to travel to.
Our vintage VW campervans have genuinely been part of weddings in the Southend area, and the photographs on this page are from real weddings rather than stock images.
Wedding Car Hire at Apton Hall
We’ve provided vintage VW wedding transport at Apton Hall in Rochford, just outside Southend-on-Sea.
The countryside setting works beautifully with the character of a vintage campervan and gives couples plenty of opportunities for photographs with the wedding car as part of the day.
If you’re getting married at Apton Hall, we can provide transport to the venue, allow time for photographs and arrange additional journeys where required as part of your wedding itinerary.
Wedding Car Hire at Southend Register Office
We have also provided wedding transport for ceremonies at Southend Register Office.
Register office weddings often involve a separate reception venue afterwards, so a chauffeur-driven campervan works particularly well for couples who want their transport to remain part of the day after the ceremony.
Depending on your package, we can collect you before the ceremony, wait while you are married and then provide onward transport to your reception or chosen photography location.
Chauffeur-Driven Wedding Transport in Southend
Every wedding car booking includes a chauffeur, so you can simply enjoy the journey.
Depending on the package you choose, your wedding transport can include:
- collection from home, a hotel or another address
- transport to your church, register office or wedding venue
- waiting during your ceremony
- time for photographs with the campervan
- onward transport to your reception
- ribbons and flower garlands to complement your wedding colours
- complimentary wrapped pick ‘n’ mix for the journey
We arrange each booking around your actual wedding itinerary rather than expecting every couple to follow the same schedule.

- your wedding date

Wedding Cars for Southend Ceremonies and Receptions
Our campervans can be used for church weddings, civil ceremonies, register office weddings and weddings taking place entirely at one venue.
Some couples simply need a memorable arrival, while others book the campervan to remain during the ceremony before travelling on to their reception.
Because Georgie and Jimi are such distinctive vehicles, they often become part of the wedding photographs rather than disappearing as soon as the journey is finished.
Wedding Car Hire Around Southend-on-Sea
We provide wedding car hire throughout Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding area, including weddings in and around Rochford, Thorpe Bay, Leigh-on-Sea and nearby Essex locations.
For weddings elsewhere in the county, you can also visit our main wedding car hire in Essex page for wider coverage, packages and information about Georgie and Jimi.
Why Choose The White Van Wedding Company?
The White Van Wedding Company is a family-run wedding business established in 2015.
We own and look after our vintage Volkswagens ourselves. The campervans you see on our website are the actual vehicles we provide for weddings rather than examples from a national wedding-car marketplace.
We’ve been part of hundreds of wedding days across Essex, Kent, London and Surrey.
From your first enquiry through to the wedding day, we work directly with you to arrange the route, timings and decoration of your campervan.
Our aim is simple: beautifully presented wedding transport, reliable service and a journey you will actually remember.
Looking for a Photo Booth for Your Essex Wedding?
As well as our vintage VW wedding cars, we also provide photo booth hire across Essex for wedding receptions and evening celebrations.
