For Vendors Who Protect the Client Experience
Coats Classic Cars partners with a limited number of planners, venues, photographers, and vendor teams who share a common goal: make the day feel calm, unforgettable, and every moment effortless. Our cars are more than transportation; they’re a canvas for heirloom photography, a calm place to exhale between moments, and an unforgettable exit your clients will talk about for years.
As a full-time classic car hire service with in-house restoration and commercial insurance for client protection, we’re built for high-stakes wedding days — and we coordinate like a vendor who understands the whole room.
““As a wedding planner of over 20 years, I have worked with numerous vendors all over the country — and can honestly say that Coats Classic Cars' entire team and staff does an amazing job. Brides will experience over-the-top service with all of their chauffeurs, not to mention gorgeous, well-maintained vintage cars from their very large fleet. CCC is extremely professional and well-established and will deliver above and beyond their promised service." — Anita Kanellis, AK Brides
What Preferred Vendor Partnership Means
Preferred Vendor partners receive a clear path to collaboration, consistent communication, and vendor-friendly coordination. When appropriate, we can also offer vendor-extended client considerations you may pass along to your couples.
Built for reliability
- Expert chauffeurs who understand timelines, venue flow, and vendor coordination
- Full-time, in-house restoration & maintenance support — not a weekend hobby fleet
- Commercial insurance for protection and peace of mind
- Most cars are air conditioned, so clients arrive comfortable and composed
Built for wedding-day calm
- One-wedding-per-car policy: no overbooking, no late arrivals - and plenty of time for photography
- Clear communication on pickup windows, photo timing, and exit logistics
- Consistent, elegant presentation that photographs beautifully — day or night
- A discreet, experienced partner for VIP events and high-visibility venues
“Our driver arrived hours before our getaway, which allowed for amazing pictures… and had the car warmed up and ready for us to leave at the end of the night.” —Heather & Andrew, Asheville, NC
How It Works
We keep partnership simple and human. Introduce your team, tell us what you do, and we’ll follow up with the details that fit your market and service area. Preferred Vendor Partnership is not automatic — it’s a relationship we build intentionally.
What you can expect from us
- A direct point of contact for coordination (not a call center)
- Clear guidance on timing that protects portraits and keeps the day on schedule
- Professional standards that reduce wedding-day surprises
- When appropriate: vendor-extended client considerations you can share
What we ask from partners
- Respect for safety, legality, and what the vehicles can realistically do
- Realistic timeline planning (especially with exits, sparklers, and venue constraints)
- Clear communication when plans shift — early notice helps everyone win
- Respect for our deposit, cancellation, and chauffeur gratuity policies
- Alignment with a client-first, experience-protective approach
