Your Trusted VW Campervan Wedding Hire in the UK
Silkandsatinweddings, formerly Pear Tree Weddings and Timeless Entertainment, was founded on our deep passion for Volkswagen campervans and a commitment to creating unforgettable wedding experiences. Since 2010, we have grown from a small photobooth venture into a leading provider of vintage VW wedding transport and event services across the UK. Our journey began when co-founders Rick and Sam identified a gap in the market for unique wedding entertainment, leading to the acquisition of iconic VW campervans like Morris, Abbe, Jodi, Alfie, and Dot. With over a decade of combined experience in the wedding industry, we specialise in bespoke services tailored to each couple's vision, ensuring exceptional standards of professionalism and personalisation.Our fleet of meticulously restored vehicles, coupled with additional event offerings like photo booths, love lights, and ice cream trikes, reflects our dedication to blending creativity with reliability. We operate with a focus on intelligent planning, transparent communication, and maintaining the highest vehicle standards, serving couples in Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, and surrounding regions. Our team's transition from full-time careers to full-time wedding specialists underscores our commitment to turning our passion into a trusted service for clients nationwide.
