Choosing the Right Rolls‑Royce Model

Not every luxury car tells the same story. We’ll help you pick the Rolls‑Royce that fits the tone of your day: classic formality, modern understatement or something with a sportier edge. Below are some of the familiar names you’ll see available for hire.

Ghost

If you want understated elegance that photographs beautifully without dominating the scene, the Ghost is a natural choice. It’s supple on winding country lanes and quietly confident outside town halls and parish churches alike.

Wraith

For couples who want a dash of drama, the Wraith blends coupe proportions with Rolls‑Royce comfort. It suits an adventurous pairing, arrival shots on a coastal road or a striking drive into a city venue.

Dawn

If you’re imagining photos with the roof down, the Dawn brings a relaxed, celebratory mood — perfect for summer weddings at estate houses or harbour-side images near the Firth of Forth.

Cullinan

When practicality meets presence, the Cullinan — Rolls‑Royce’s SUV — gives extra luggage space for extended shoots, outfits and a smooth ride over estate driveways and gravel entrances.

Where a Phantom Makes an Entrance

A chauffeur-driven Phantom transforms ordinary moments into memorable ones. Whether it’s a register ceremony at Dalkeith’s local church, portraits at Dalkeith Country Park, or a reception at Newbattle Abbey, the Phantom frames the occasion. Guests notice the quiet authority of the car; photographers appreciate the timeless backdrop it provides.

• Weddings — main arrival, bridal party transfer, evening departures.
• VIP transfers — corporate arrivals and celebrity appearances.
• Airport pickups — smooth transfers to and from Edinburgh Airport.
• Anniversaries and milestone celebrations — a refined surprise for two.

Phantom features and generations

The Phantom has evolved, but the essentials remain: imposing presence, hand-built interiors and a hushed, effortless ride. If you’re curious about generations, here’s a short guide to what changed as Rolls‑Royce refined the model.

Series 1 and Series 2

Earlier generations — often referred to as Series 1 and Series 2 — introduced the proportions and coachbuilding attention that made the Phantom name iconic. They have a classic character and suit heritage-style weddings and stately homes.

Phantom 8

The modern Phantom 8 deepens the experience with contemporary technology: quieter cabins, improved chassis isolation and bespoke interior options such as starlight headliners and two-tone paint schemes.

Compare with other luxury marques

Different brands answer different needs. A Bentley Mulsanne hire or Maybach chauffeur service delivers alternative flavours of comfort: Bentley tends toward a sporting grand tourer character, Maybach leans into languid rear-seat space and pampering, while a Range Rover Autobiography is practical for rougher estate entrances. An Aston Martin DB11 suits photo-focused, sporty arrivals and a BMW 7 Series puts modern tech at the fore. We talk this through with you so you pick the right car for your day.

Booking, pricing and chauffeur professionalism

We aim to be transparent. Pricing depends on distance, wait time, vehicle choice and extras such as ribbons or champagne. Our chauffeurs are experienced, DBS-checked where required, and dress to the tone of your wedding. Routes are planned in advance to avoid delays — whether you’re heading from Musselburgh to a Dalkeith venue or collecting guests from Edinburgh Airport.

1. Enquire with date, times and pickup/drop-off points.
2. Confirm vehicle and chauffeur availability.
3. Agree the route and any special requests (ribbons, bottles chilled, multiple stops).
4. Secure the booking with a clear deposit and booking terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Local notes and what to expect on the day

If you live locally, you’ll recognise the lanes and small towns that give a day its character. Expect a gentle hum from the engine as you pull up outside Newbattle Abbey or a modern hotel in Musselburgh. Chauffeurs know local regulations for dropping off at town halls and churches, and they’ll often suggest quieter photo spots — whether that’s the walled gardens at Dalkeith or a coastal moment near Prestonpans.

A neighbourly invitation to talk it through

If you’re in Dalkeith or nearby — Loanhead, Tranent or Musselburgh — drop us a message with your date and a few details. We’ll match you with the right Rolls‑Royce, explain options for ribbons and refreshments, and help you plan an arrival that feels exactly right for your wedding day. A chat with one of our local coordinators is often all it takes to turn an idea into a simple, confident plan.
