The Rolls Royce is proving popular with Asian weddings

Limo Broker agents have noted a surge in the number of bookings for Rolls Royce Phantoms for Asian and Indian weddings in 2010. The luxury limo, which is also the car of choice for music mogul Simon Cowell, is also the top choice for Asian brides and grooms-to-be.

It seems vintage wedding cars are out along with white limos and Hummers; the trend for the coming wedding season is the majestic Rolls Royce Phantom. This luxurious limo offers masses of onboard space which is especially important for brides who may be wearing a lengthy dress. A smaller vehicle could leave a bride’s dress crammed in and the result is a crushed and dishevelled look, exactly what you don’t want when you’re about to walk down the aisle.   

The Rolls Royce is highly regarded as one of the most elegant vehicles in existence. Without being over the top and flash, it offers the right amount of opulence to ensure you feel extra special on your big day. This impressive model will guarantee a positive reaction from all of your guests upon your arrival. The Phantom draws admiring glances wherever it goes and your friends and family won’t fail to be impressed with this exquisite limo which is the very height of luxury.

Another reason why the Phantom is gaining popularity with Asian and Indian weddings is its ability to provide an extremely comfortable and relaxing ride. Onboard you’ll find a champagne bar, sumptuous leather seats, a state of the art entertainment system and air conditioning to ensure you arrive feeling cool, calm and collected.

Limo Broker has expertise in providing chauffeur driven limo hire for Asian weddings and are sensitive to the unique nature of the celebration. As one of the biggest providers of limo hire in the country, Limo Broker will be able to provide you with a perfect Rolls Royce Phantom regardless of where you are based in the UK.

Mariah Carey’s special limo requests

Mariah Carey's limo demands

Mariah Carey more than lived up to her diva credentials this weekend after a disagreement over her chauffeur driven limo. The chart topping songstress is in the UK ahead of her appearance on the X-Factor next weekend and also to promote her new album, Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel.

The singer recorded her performance for the X-Factor yesterday but not before a lengthy delay whilst an acceptable chariot was found for the star. Initially a top class Mercedes complete with a chauffeur was sent to take Mariah to the studios, but this wasn’t deemed exclusive enough for a star of Mariah’s stature and was then replaced by a £250,000 Mercedes Maybach.

However the Maybach limo was also rejected and then, third-time-lucky, a Rolls Royce Phantom was dispatched. The vehicle was even provided free of charge by the London Motor Museum. Despite being a super luxurious vehicle, the limo wasn’t quite up to scratch for Miss Carey. The limo was then decorated with vinyl graphics of butterflies in a nod to the singer’s 1997 album entitled butterfly.

But another glitch raised its head when Mariah’s management ordered the images be taken down after they complained that the London Motor Museum was gaining free advertising after they added their name along with the butterfly graphics.

Hours later the US superstar emerged from her room in the Dorchester Hotel where she was greeted by a sea of fans and photographers. Mariah’s appearance on the X-Factor has already caused controversy after she pulled out of a provisional booking to perform on rival show Strictly Come Dancing, on the orders of Simon Cowell.

Rolls Royce limos for Jackson's funeral

Last week Michael Jackson’s body was finally laid to rest in a private ceremony at Glendale’s Forest Lawn Memorial Park just outside of Los Angeles. The singer’s family were driven to the sombre event in a fleet of chauffeur driven Rolls Royce Phantom limos.

The King of Pop’s excellent reputation ensured his family benefitted from having the stretch limos hired at a heavily discounted rate showing that his good name and generous nature is still remembered. His children, Prince Michael aged 12, Paris aged 11 and Blanket aged 7 travelled in the blacked out Rolls Royce limos along with Michael’s parents and his Jackson siblings.

Over 200 mourners attended the private ceremony and it took a 31-car motorcade to transport the whole group which included the actress and close friend of Jackson, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, his ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley, and former child star Macaulay Culkin. Notable absentees were the singer and confidante of Jackson, Diana Ross and his other ex-wife and mother of two of his children, Debbie Rowe.

It was reported that the Jackson brothers acted as pallbearers and Gladys Knight sang a version of The Lord’s Prayer during the ceremony. Michael’s three children are also believed to have each written a note for their father which they lay next to his coffin. The Baptist Minister Rev Al Sharpton, who has been a great source of comfort to the family during this sad time, conducted the funeral ceremony.

Rolls Royce beats credit crunch with budget limousine

Rolls Royce Ghost

Rolls Royce is a name synonymous with luxury and decadence, however it seems even the world’s most exclusive car manufacturer isn’t immune to the credit crunch. Rolls Royce has just unveiled its latest addition to the prestigious dynasty, the Ghost. The new limo’s unique selling point has to be its price, rumoured to be around the $245,000 mark (£148,000) which by Rolls Royce standards, is a bargain.

The Ghost will join the company’s continental fleet of vehicles and is available from autumn 2009. The exact price won’t be revealed until the Frankfurt Motor Show however it will be considerably lower than Rolls Royce’s most popular limo, the Phantom which sells for $380,000 (£229,600). The Rolls Royce Phantom has been an extremely successful car for the brand, and is a very popular choice for wedding car hire the world over.

Although plans for a more affordable Rolls Royce were in the pipeline long before the global economic downturn, the timing of the Ghost couldn’t be better. Rolls Royce CEO agrees it is an “ideal” time to be launching a budget limo after the company saw a 34% drop in sales this year in comparison to 2008. The ethos of the new limo is also timely as the CEO went on to say “It’s less ostentatious, so owners can give the impression that they’re downsizing”

Despite being nick-named the Baby Rolls, the Ghost is still a mighty vehicle. It stretches over 5 metres in length and has a 6.6 litre engine and boasts upward of 500bhp; and with a price tag estimated to be £80,000 lower than the Rolls Royce Phantom, this new limo is likely to fly out of the showroom.
