New! Antique Rolls Royce car available for rent for Minnesota weddings

Posted in Wedding Vendors in Minnesota at 5:17 pm by Rev. Tomkin Coleman

I was meeting with a couple last Monday evening at my regular spot at Nina’s Coffee House in St Paul, when they expressed an unusual wish. This Minneapolis, MN bride and groom expressed an interest in renting a car for their upcoming wedding, and they asked for recommendations. I get many couples who ask for limo recommendations, but they wanted a regular car, not a limo. They were looking at possibly renting a sports car, but an antique car was preferred. Their reasons for renting a car for their wedding were that:

• Will be so excited at their wedding that they didn’t want to drive themselves
• Wanted to keep the special feel of their wedding day, even when traveling to and from the wedding site
• Didn’t want to worry about parking at the Como Conservatory in St Paul, MN, which can be quite busy on Saturdays
• Didn’t want to have to worry about alcohol in the car

Rob King, of Antique Limo in Minneapolis, MN, has an absolutely gorgeous antique Rolls Royce that he rents out for couples at their weddings. His service seems to the Twin Cities, Minnesota area - instead of renting to a large wedding party, to get the bride, groom, and all their attendants from the wedding site to the reception site, Rob’s service is much more intimate, as well incredibly classy.

So let’s say, for example, that like the couple I talked to this weekend, you’re having a wedding ceremony at the Como Conservatory in St Paul, which is right by the Como Zoo. On the afternoon of your big day, you’ve got your wedding dress on, your make-up is set, and now you’re ready to go to the Conservatory’s Sunken Garden for the ceremony. Rather than getting into your everyday commuter car with your groom, instead, a gorgeous 1962 silver (”Shell Gray” is what Rolls Royce called it) antique Rolls Royce shows up at your home, complete with driver! The driver whisks you away to your wedding site, and then after your wedding, when you walk out that front door to the cheers of your friends and relatives, you don’t have to then go find your car…instead, your Rolls Royce is waiting for you. When you get in the car, a bottle of champagne with crystal glasses is ready to calm your nerves ($25 extra, a great deal…), and then the Rolls Royce takes you away to your wedding reception. Instead of heading directly to your reception, though, which will be full of incredibly excited wedding guests, you can take a moment with your groom to relax and enjoy the time together. You can even stop off at a bar for a quiet drink, or split that champagne in a quiet picnic. That quiet breather may be the only time that you and your groom have alone together on your special day…it can be quite romantic and refreshing!

Rob has rented his services with his Rolls Royce in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for over a decade, with multiple weddings under his belt, so he’s very experienced and considerate. Rob is a really nice guy - I chatted with him on the phone, and he has a quiet, friendly manner, and is very easy to work with. The rental fee for his antique Rolls Royce, plus his service as a limo driver, is $400 for 2 hours (if you want more than that, which is rare, it’s $200/hour more.) Rob King’s phone number is 612-790-0225 (cell phone). For couples who want a moment alone after their wedding, and want to do it in a classy way, this opportunity sounds perfect!
