Choosing a Wedding Car in Dubai: Ghost, Maybach or 7 Series
How to choose a chauffeured wedding car in Dubai: space for the dress, who can ride, guest transport, timings and how far ahead to book.
Published 2 min read
A wedding car has a job most cars never do: deliver someone in a full gown, on time, looking exactly as they did when they left. Choosing one comes down to space, timing, and what else needs moving on the day.
The bridal car
Three cars in the fleet suit the bridal car role.
Rolls-Royce Ghost. Its rear-hinged coach doors open wide, which makes getting in and out in a gown far easier than a conventional rear door. Inside there is a starlight headliner, and an umbrella stored in the door for sun or unexpected weather. It seats three passengers and takes two bags.
Mercedes-Maybach S 680. Reclining rear seats and acoustic privacy glass make it the calmer choice for a longer drive between venues. It seats three with three bags.
BMW 7 Series. A composed, understated choice, with executive rear seating and rear climate control. It seats three with three bags.
In practice, a full gown can take up much of the rear seat, so plan for the bride and perhaps one other person in the back.
What is included
The bridal car is booked on a four-hour minimum. It arrives detailed, decorated to your specification, and forty minutes early. Photography stops along the route are included. For venues with restricted access, we walk the route in advance, because a wedding is not the moment to discover a closed service road.
Transport for the families and guests
The bridal car is rarely the only car needed. Guest vehicles are dispatched on a schedule agreed with your planner in advance, rather than arranged on the day.
- The Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon each seat six, suited to parents and close family.
- The Mercedes-Benz V-Class seats seven.
- The Toyota Hiace Executive seats fourteen, for moving a wedding party between hotel and venue.
How far ahead to book
For weddings, and for the Rolls-Royce Ghost in particular, we recommend booking two to three weeks ahead. Once the date is confirmed, share the timings and venues so the route and the guest schedule can be planned with your planner.
Start planning
See wedding chauffeur for the full service, or send the date, the venues and the number of guests, and a reservations manager will put together a fixed quote.
