Catholic Regional College Melton to The Luxor in Sydenham on
01.12.04)
Steven, .....Just thought Id finally take a couple of
minutes to compliment you on your service. The feedback from the
girls and their parents were nothing but excellent. The girls
talked non stop about their ride. Many people at the school asked
where the Taxi came from and that they thought it was very
different. So hopefully you will be known more in Melton. I was
very pleased that you introduced yourself to me. I am very sure
your business will always move forward in leaps and bounds. We
will be seeing you next year as Monique will be making her Debut.
Once again, thank you for making the Year 10 Graduation Special.

letter below)
Just a short note to say thankyou for providing the finishing
touch to our extra special day. We still get comments about the
lovely car and our wonderfully eccentric driver, Steve. The
special little things you did for us made the day that bit extra
memorable. (Note: dress tips...calming my nerves...driving
several times around the roundabout whilst tooting the horn and
giving the royal wave... comparing suspenders...never forget it!)
Thankyou for completing our fantastic day! We have been
recommending you to everyone we know! - Melissa, Sean and baby Tahlia...(photos included)

special. Best wishes, ...Gael Middelveld & Richard Jackson

Mr & Mrs Marshall, wed 15 April 2011, We just wanted to write to say a big thankyou especially to Steven. He really did put everyone at ease. He had safety pins when required. bottle opener, glasses, umbrellas you name it his car (cab) was like a Mary Poppins bag! He truly added to the effect of arriving and leaving in style. The car (cab please) came out wonderful in the photos and our guests loved the fact we had something from back home to make the day special. With Summer around the corner I'm sure you'll be booked up with wonderful weddings. Thanks again Helen and Peter (also had a double decker bus for guests) |

staff at London taxi services, A very big but belated thankyou for all your
dedication and hard work that you put into making our wedding day special for
us. Having the London taxis (3) was everything I had wanted, we felt very

Dear Steven, I wanted to thankyou so very much for
making my taxi ride to the wedding so much fun. Your attention to detail, the
surprize in the park, the way you managed to relax the guests waiting at the
venue before we even arrived, (hehe, all that tooting) was superb. Thankyou also
for waiting until the ceremony was over to make sure we had the photo
opportunity with your cab was so generous. I will most certainly recommend you
to anyone looking for something different to the boring old limo for their
event! With warmest wishes, Ali( Mrs Holborn)
