Will the car wait for us through the after-party too, not only the ceremony?

Yes, that's how most people book it. We cover the whole night, not an arbitrary end time, which means the car is already close by when the party winds up and you're not calling for one at two in the morning.

How do you work around an arrival time set by the organisers?

Pass it on, and we'll plan the entire evening back from that time. Getting there twenty minutes too soon is just as awkward as being late, so your chauffeur waits nearby and only joins the queue when the moment comes.

Is close protection something you can arrange?

No. What we supply is chauffeurs and cars. If you have your own protection team with you, our chauffeurs work alongside them and take their lead on routes and where to set down.

Which vehicle works best in black tie?

Choose something with a high roof and long back doors. Climbing out of a low sports saloon onto a red carpet in black tie or a floor-length gown is trickier than you'd think, and the cameras will catch every moment of it.

Could you stagger several cars so they arrive in turn?

Yes. We give one chauffeur the running order and space the cars out by a few minutes. It's what we normally do for corporate tables, and for any party coming from several addresses.

Occasions

Chauffeur cars for awards ceremonies and black-tie evenings

At an awards night, somebody else decides the order in which cars arrive. All the car has to do is pull up at the carpet at the correct minute and get out of the way.

Year-round

The red carpet arrival

At the big ceremonies, held in places like the Royal Albert Hall, the ballrooms on Park Lane, the Roundhouse and London's larger hotels, cars come in along a marshalled approach, with police or event stewards waving them through.

The organisers hand out the arrival slots, and turning up early causes as much trouble as turning up late. We stick to the window you've been allocated, waiting close by until it starts.

Dropping you at the carpet is over in less than a minute. The wait comes beforehand, in the queue, so where we join the approach road counts for more than how we get there from your address.

02Section

Black tie and the cabin

A dinner jacket creases and a long dress snags, and a low seat behind a narrow door opening makes both worse. On an awards night, how easily you get in and out of the back matters more than on nearly any other job.

In practice that means a full-size saloon with long rear doors, or an MPV if a gown really needs the extra space. Clients also notice a small detail: cabin lights good enough for one final check before they step out.

Leave coats, bags and whatever else you won't need inside in the car. When the ceremony ends, the cloakroom queue takes far longer than walking out to the vehicle.

03Section

Multiple guests and staged arrivals

When a company fills a table of ten or twelve, we stagger the arrivals instead of sending everyone at once. Three or four cars pull up one after the other, a few minutes apart, which lets the host greet guests in good order and keeps the carpet from getting crowded.

A lead chauffeur keeps the running order and messages to confirm every movement. Depending on how the night is set up, we pick guests up from their homes or from a hotel.

If you're a nominee, or with one, we plan a way out that suits the night whether it ends with a win to celebrate or an early getaway.

04Section

Late finishes and after-parties

It's normal for the ceremony to run until eleven and the party until two or three. We keep the cars for the evening rather than letting them go, since otherwise you'd be waiting on the pavement in evening dress at half past one.

If the party is somewhere else, the drive there is quick, but getting away from the ceremony isn't. Hundreds of guests come out at the same moment, and the approach road only takes one line of cars.

We settle everyone's drop-off address when the evening begins. People heading to different corners of London get grouped in a way that makes sense, so no one ends up on a sightseeing loop of the city.

05Section

Vehicles for the evening

How things look counts for more here than on a business run. The car is cleaned before the job, your chauffeur wears a dark suit, and we stop so that the passenger door opens onto the carpet, not towards passing traffic.

Otherwise, it comes down to who's travelling. A large saloon suits two guests in evening wear. With four or more people, or anyone wearing a full-length gown, you're better off in a taller vehicle. Whatever you book, the same applies. Vehicle make, model, colour and specification are subject to availability and confirmation.

A Note on Dress

Most ceremonies are black tie, and a few call for white tie. A dinner jacket and a full-length gown both arrive looking better from a car with plenty of headroom and a broad rear door.

How the Day Runs

A nominee arriving on the carpet

Leaving a hotel in Mayfair, a nominee and two guests get to the marshalled approach ten minutes ahead of their slot. The car waits in a side street, slips into the queue at the right moment, and comes back for them once the party is over.

A corporate table of twelve

Guests are picked up from different addresses by four cars, which then arrive one by one at three-minute intervals. Inside fifteen minutes the host has greeted the entire table, and the carpet never gets crowded.

A regional ceremony with an overnight

In the afternoon, guests are driven from London up to a ceremony in Manchester. The car stays with them through the evening and the party, then takes them back to their hotel, and the next day that same vehicle brings them south again.

Questions

Answered plainly.

If something here is not covered, send the question over. A direct answer is faster than a form.

Cars wait in a marshalled line on the approach road and roll forward in turn. Once yours is level with the carpet, the chauffeur opens the door on the kerb side, you step out, and within seconds the car is gone. From start to finish, the drop takes under a minute.
