Surrey and Sussex Trikes is a new transport company
Surrey and Sussex Trikes was set up in August 2021 by Martin Ordish and his partner Debbie. Martin tells us: "We both have a background in the NHS at our local hospital. I decided to leave the NHS to pursue the dream of running a trike company as I knew just how awesome these machines were. It gives you the comfort of a car with the freedom of a motorbike. What's not to like?
"We purchased Ike the Trike from a UK dealer (the trike is custom-made by a German company called Rewaco) and is based on a car engine and gearbox. It's very comfortable with seatbelts and individually-heated seats.
"We undertake weddings, civil ceremonies and funerals if asked. We're currently expanding to do tours of Surrey, Sussex and the home counties, although we can operate anywhere in the UK. There are very few other companies providing a tour service, and I believe we're the only one specialising in weddings."

How to find the perfect transport company
The budget for your wedding car is an important factor when deciding which type of vehicle and company to go for. Prices differ depending on whether you're looking at classic, vintage, luxury or prestigious options. Some companies may impose a flat day rate, and others may charge based on the time and journeys required. Always check what's included, such as drinks, multiple pick-ups and photo stops. Some suppliers may include this as standard, and others may add these on as premium options. Wedding dresses came in all shapes and sizes, so keep in mind that long trains and full skirts can take up lots of room in the back of the car. For dresses with excess material, you will need to consider a more spacious option with plenty of room in the back to accommodate your dress.
