01 — Venue and arrival

Wedding travel to Ufton Court

Ufton Court hosts weddings at its Grade I listed manor and 16th-century Tithe Barn, with venue income supporting its children's education charity. Green Lane, Ufton Nervet and RG7 4HD stay on the booking so the rural destination is not reduced to Reading.

The venue coordinator confirms the passenger point. The chauffeur follows the arrival note to the named area and keeps the internal drive clear. The booking records the date, complete pickup addresses, the venue address, requested handover time and one coordinator mobile.

03 — One connected wedding plan

The ceremony, guest cars and return at Ufton Court

A programme may use the Tithe Barn, Archer's Hall, the manor's Long Room or an outdoor ceremony space, moving guests after set-down. Transport is anchored to the named space and venue handover time, not assumptions about the ceremony door. Reading station, local hotels and homes may create several short legs. Names and mobiles are grouped by vehicle, with child seats, mobility aids and bags declared before confirmation.

The rural pickup reference is repeated in the guest message. A lead contact confirms that the whole group is back at that point before the car approaches. A retained chauffeur is available only when a defined itinerary and waiting arrangement have been agreed. Otherwise, evening travel is booked as one or more later collections, each with its own passenger group and destination.

A chauffeur assists with the items declared for that leg and confirms the cabin is clear before departure. Capacity is assessed from the passenger and luggage list before booking.
