Selection: Aston Martin Vantage wedding car
A British sports coupé for your wedding
Aston Martin is an English marque known for elegant, fast grand tourers, and for many people also for the James Bond films. Within the range, the Vantage is the compact, sporty two-seater. Where the larger models are mainly comfortable and long, the Vantage is shorter, lower and more direct. As a wedding car it stands out without being showy: a low nose, a broad rear and that unmistakable Aston Martin front.
The best-known modern Vantage is the V8 Vantage from the mid-2000s, which Aston Martin introduced as the entry point to the brand. It is a coupé with the engine at the front and rear-wheel drive, a layout that has long been typical of British sports cars. For many couples, the sound of the V8 as you pull away from the town hall is exactly why they choose this car.
Why a coupé rather than a convertible
A fixed roof sounds less romantic than an open-top car, but on a Dutch wedding day it is an advantage. Your hair and veil stay neat, rain is no problem and you do not have to choose between driving with the roof down and arriving dry. In spring and autumn, a coupé is the calmest choice.
Getting in and space in a Vantage
The Vantage has two seats and sits low. The easiest way to get in is to sit down first and then swing your legs inside. A fitted dress or one made of a soft, flowing fabric works well. A full skirt or a long train takes more patience: gather the fabric on your lap and ask someone to help you get in and out. There is little luggage space, so let someone else bring bags and a change of clothes in another car.
Comfort on the day
Unlike a classic car, a modern Vantage has air conditioning, heating and modern brakes. That makes it suitable for a long day, with a drive from the ceremony to the photo location and on to the dinner. It is, however, a powerful car with rear-wheel drive: on wet roads and when pulling away, that calls for a gentle foot. Ask the rental company about the conditions for whoever is driving, such as age and driving experience.
Using the Vantage on your wedding day
The Vantage suits a stylish wedding with a modern or classic feel, from a country estate to a sleek city venue. Plan your arrival so that you can step out on the square or the driveway: a low sports car looks its best when it is fully in view. For photos, a calm backdrop works well, such as a tree-lined avenue or an old façade.
Keep the decoration modest. A small corsage on the bonnet or a ribbon on the front suits the clean lines. Agree beforehand how anything may be attached.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire an Aston Martin Vantage as a wedding car?
The lowest price currently online is € 599 per day. The final price depends on the duration, the distance, whether a chauffeur is included and the date; demand is highest in the wedding season and on Saturdays. Every car shows its starting price, and when you request a quote you get a price for your own day.
Can you hire an Aston Martin Vantage as a wedding car with a chauffeur?
The wedding car currently online is self-drive. With a chauffeur you do not have to think about parking, the route or the time, and the couple sit together in the back. Self-drive gives you freedom, but do ask about the deposit, the insurance and the minimum age. Every car page shows what is possible.
Will a bride in a full wedding dress fit in an Aston Martin Vantage?
It can work, but it is a low two-seater with little room around the seat. A fitted or softly flowing dress is the easiest to manage. With a full skirt, the bride sits down first, and then someone helps to tuck the fabric into the car. A train can rest on her lap. Ask the rental company whether you can try it out beforehand.
Is a Vantage a good choice if we're getting married in autumn or winter?
Yes, especially then. The Vantage is a coupé with a fixed roof, heating and air conditioning, so rain and cold won't be a problem for your hair or dress. It is a powerful rear-wheel-drive car, though, so driving calmly is important on wet or cold roads. Plan the photo shoot in daylight, as the days are short in winter.
Can guests or witnesses travel in the Vantage?
No, the Vantage has only two seats and hardly any luggage space. If you would like witnesses, parents or a photographer to travel with you, arrange a second car. A larger classic car or a minibus for the guests can complement the Vantage nicely in the convoy, with the sports car in front.
Which wedding venues suit an Aston Martin?
An Aston Martin suits country estates, castles and historic country houses with a long driveway, but it also looks right at home at a sleek hotel or an industrial venue in the city. What matters is a spot where the car can stand calmly and be seen in full, without parked cars around it. Ask the venue whether you may drive right up to the entrance.
