Marseille Wedding Driver — Private Hire for Your Big Day
Your wedding day deserves transport that matches the occasion: a private driver in tailored attire, an immaculate Mercedes saloon or V-Class, and impeccable timing from home to the town hall, from the ceremony venue to the reception. From Marseille, RM Luxury Transport orchestrates the journeys of the bride and groom, the bridal procession and every VIP guest across Provence and the French Riviera.
A civil ceremony in Marseille, a blessing at Domaine de Fontblanche, a cocktail reception in a Provençal bastide: every wedding has its own choreography. Our team works hand in hand with you beforehand — route reconnaissance, schedule mapping, waiting-time management, liaison with the wedding planner — so that on the day itself, the only thing left for you to do is say “I do.”
Our approach to weddings
Three words define our service: discretion, punctuality, elegance. The driver arrives thirty minutes ahead of the agreed time, in a dark suit and white gloves should the production call for it. The vehicle is freshly valeted, gently fragranced, air-conditioned to 21 °C. A chilled bottle of still water and a courtesy towel await in the central console. No livery branding, no ringtones: your driver is invisible, until the moment you need him.
Our fleet for your wedding
Three Mercedes silhouettes for three distinct purposes — the presidential S-Class saloon for the bride and groom, the executive E-Class for witnesses and parents, the V-Class for the extended bridal procession of up to seven passengers in club cabin.
Mercedes S-Class — The wedding car
Nappa leather upholstery, suede starlit headliner, soft-close rear doors, Airmatic air suspension that smooths out every cobblestone around the Vieux-Port. The S-Class is engineered so that no jolt may crease the train of the gown, so that no sound may drown out your final words before stepping into the town hall.
Mercedes E-Class — Accompanying saloon
Four passengers, a generous boot for the soprano’s case or the photographer’s kit, fineline wood trim. The E-Class follows the S-Class at proper protocol distance and guarantees the witnesses and immediate family a journey of identical quality.
Mercedes V-Class — The procession van
Club cabin seating seven, face-to-face configuration, retractable table, USB-C sockets, deeply tinted windows. Ideal for transporting siblings, pages and flower girls, musicians, or simply for gathering the extended family in one and the same hushed atmosphere between ceremony and reception.
Vehicle decoration on request
Ivory satin ribbon across the doors, a small posy of fresh flowers on the grille, a calligraphed plaque with the initials of the bride and groom: we coordinate with your florist the decorative elements you wish to see on the bride and groom’s S-Class. Everything is fitted thirty minutes before departure and removed without a trace after the ceremony. No pins, no adhesive on the coachwork.
A typical wedding day
9 am — preparations: the S-Class collects the bride and her maid of honour from the dressing venue. 11 am — town hall: drop-off as close to the steps as permitted, discreet wait, immediate pick-up upon exit. 2.30 pm — religious or secular ceremony: transfer to the venue, simultaneous handling of the VIP guest procession aboard the V-Class. 5 pm — photo session: the driver remains at your disposal at the estate between each shot. 7.30 pm — cocktail reception and dinner: group transfers of guests from their Marseille hotels to the venue. 3 am — end of the evening: the bride and groom are returned to their bridal suite, the guests to their accommodation in discreet shuttle runs.

We operate daily from Marseille to the finest wedding addresses in the region: Château La Coste, Domaine de Fontenille, Bastide de Marie, Villa Gallici, Château de Berne, Domaine de Manville, Château Saint-Martin, mas and bastides across the Luberon, vineyard estates around Aix-en-Provence, town houses in the Vieux-Port and villas on the Cap d’Antibes.

“A wedding is not a journey, it is a score. Our role is to play it pianissimo, so that your guests hear only the violins.”

Frequently asked questions
How long ahead should we book
For a wedding between June and September in Provence, we recommend booking nine to twelve months ahead. Out of season, three months is usually sufficient. Last-minute requests are considered subject to fleet availability.
Can you handle the full procession
Yes. We coordinate up to six vehicles simultaneously — the bride and groom’s S-Class, the witnesses’ and parents’ E-Class, two V-Class units for the extended procession, additional shuttles for the guests. A single point of contact on our side conducts the fleet alongside your wedding planner.
What happens in case of delay
The Full Day Pack includes one hour’s buffer at no extra cost. Beyond that, each additional hour is billed at €90 inc. VAT. The driver remains at your service for as long as you need — no curfew, no aggressive reminder.
Can we cancel
Free cancellation up to 30 days before the event. Between 30 and 15 days, 50 % of the deposit is retained. Within 15 days, the full deposit is retained but may be transferred to a new date within twelve months.
