Simply Elegant Limo

The vintage Rolls Royce was gorgeous and made for a great photo shoot. The driver was very friendly and just the right amount of chatty. We enjoyed the champagne service provided. The car is a bit of a tight squeeze when you have a giant poofy dress on, but I still preferred the Rolls Royce to a typical limo any day.

We used Simply Elegant for our wedding and highly recommend them. We dealt with Elaine throughout the entire process and she was an absolute delight to work with. We rented the 1960 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud and the car was beautiful. They had every detail down perfectly. Upon getting in the car with my bridesmaids to take us to the ceremony, the driver had the car parked in the shade while waiting and the A/​C going to make sure the car was nice and cool for us. He pulled up and was a perfect gentleman the entire ride. He played a very enjoyable music playlist of songs perfect for a wedding day (including «Going to the Chapel»). He drove a comfortable speed and dropped us off wherever who directed him and was in the exact same spot after the ceremony. My husband and I took the car to the reception and they had a rose and champagne in the car waiting for us and played another playlist of songs perfect for newlyweds. Thank you so very much to everyone at Simply Elegant for providing exceptional service and going above and beyond to make our day very special!!!

You will feel like a princess! We ordered the 1951 Rolls Royce. Driver was on time and the car looked great. Champagne and strawberries after the ceremony were a great touch! The driver Bart was super nice and cool.

We hired them for our wedding because the car was awesome. There aren’t a ton of vintage limo services in San Diego (although someone suggested to me after I hired them that I look into local vintage car clubs, so maybe try that first), and when I called to inquire, the woman pointed out that her competitors were in the process of being investigated due to insurance fraud and all kinds of other things — pretty unprofessional. However — she gave me a fantastic deal and I loved her car so I couldn’t refuse.
The driver was on time and the car was beautiful and impeccable. That’s what they get one star for. But the driver really creeped me out. He dropped me off at our ceremony site and then went to pick up my (now) husband. After he dropped him off, he parked the car and then played shadow to our photographer — standing behind her and taking all kinds of pictures! He even came up and adjusted my dress and tried to carry my train for me; which I guess is nice but that is what my maid of honor, bridesmaids… anyone who KNOWS ME can do. The worst part was that after the ceremony, when my husband and I went to be alone, he was in the room trying to take photos of us! I had to ask to him to leave and give us some privacy.
Overall, he wasn’t rude or anything, just EXTREMELY intrusive. If you are desperate for a vintage car, Simply Elegant is OK but beware of weirdo drivers. I wonder if he was the same one John B. had…
Also, I agree that the fact that they operate as if it was 1990 sucks.

Jade is right about not having any electronic business presence besides a website. Everything is done by phone, mail and cash which in this day and age is inconvenient. It was also inconvenient to play phone tag when a single email would have been more efficient. We used them for our wedding b/​c of the car which was great. The driver was annoying though and really should have practiced the «if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all rule» I’m sure he’s done this alot of times but I don’t care about his opinion, it’s our wedding, I guess thats what I get for applying the tip to the original invoice amount. If I had to do it again the car was cool but because of the price and issues I would have just gone with a regular limo or a nice luxury car driven by a friend.

These people are CRAZY! First of all this company has no email and does not accept credit cards. We are planning a wedding and are putting a lot of things on a credit card, so ok fine, we will pay cash. When we received the contract thru the mail it said that the deposit amount was $ 90. We sent a post dated (only dated 4 days later, hey we need to get paid before we can send cash!) check for that amount and later received a crazy voicemail from a very irate woman who screamed «I do not accept post dated checks, how dare you send me a post dated check! I will no longer do business with you…» The message went on and on. So thanks, Simply Elegant Limo, for being douche-​bags and congratulations on operating a business in 2008 that does not have an email address or a credit card machine.
