Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

 

How do I book a Caddyman Cadillac for my wedding?

Give Wayne a buzz on 0409 139 966 or fill out the enquiry form on our website. We’ll chat about your big day, walk you through the fleet, and help you choose the perfect Caddy (or Caddys) for your occasion. Once you’re happy, a $100 deposit per vehicle locks in your date. Popular dates fill up quickly, so it pays to book early.

Can I come and see the cars in person before I book?

Of course, and we’d love to show them off. Our showroom is at 2/3 Duiker Court, Langwarrin VIC 3910, by appointment only. Pop in, take a few photos, sit in the cars, and see them up close. There’s nothing quite like a classic Cadillac.

What types of events do you cater for?

Weddings are our core business (more than 27 years of them now), but our Cadillacs are available for all sorts of occasions: engagements, proposals, debutantes, formals, corporate events, photo shoots, film and TV, and any other special celebration. We’ve even had a young gentleman surprise his girlfriend with a proposal in one of our cars. If there’s an occasion, there’s a Cadillac for it. We also offer luxury Cadillac tours of the Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne.

 

The Fleet

 

What cars do you have?

Here’s the lineup:

  • Rosie — our famous 1959 Rose Pink Pearl Fleetwood Convertible. Four doors, seats 4 to 5. The only one of her kind in the world and a true showstopper. Now fitted with air con and heating.
  • Queen B — a gorgeous 1966 Coupe DeVille Convertible in striking white with a red leather interior. Two doors, seats 4 to 5. Pure Hollywood glamour.
  • Ellie Mae — a stunning 1957 Series 2 Coupe in deep, rich red with a bright white leather interior. Two doors, seats 4 to 5. One of Elvis Presley’s favourite models.
  • The Pres — an award-winning 1964 Fleetwood Deluxe in Siberian Green metallic. Four doors, seats 4 to 5. Originally an ex-government vehicle with added length for that extra bit of grandeur.
  • Duchess — a classic 1957 Pearl White Fleetwood Limousine seating 6 to 7 passengers. Original dividing glass window, woodgrain trim, and the full suite of luxury accessories. The pride of the fleet, and a perfect match for Rosie.
  • The Prince — a jaw-dropping 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Stretch Limousine in maroon and white. Seats up to 9 passengers, with deep red velvet interior, integrated sunroof, custom bar area, and a modern audio system.
  • Silverado — our fully customised 2020 Chevrolet Silverado. A modern option for those who want something a bit different. Four doors, seats 4 to 5.

How many passengers can each car fit?

Our standard Cadillacs comfortably seat 4 to 5 passengers, plus your chauffeur. The Duchess seats 6 to 7, and The Prince fits up to 9. Whether it’s just the bride, the groom and his groomsmen, or the whole bridal party, we’ve got the right car for the job.

Can I choose which car I want?

Yes, and we recommend booking early because specific cars are in high demand on popular wedding dates. We run a one wedding per car per day policy, so your Caddy is exclusively yours for the day. No rushing, no double bookings.

Do the convertibles have their roof up or down?

Whichever you prefer. The roof can go up or down depending on the weather, the vibe, or what looks best for photos. Rain on your wedding day is no drama: roof up, and you’ll still look fantastic. Sunshine? Roof down for the full effect.

Can I bring the kids along?

Children are welcome in all of our cars. Just keep the passenger limit for each vehicle in mind when planning your numbers. Little ones count as passengers too, and seatbelts must be worn at all times where fitted.

 

 

Pricing and Packages

 

How much does it cost to hire a Caddyman Cadillac?

Here’s a rough guide:

  • Mornington Peninsula (local area): from $660 for a 1-hour minimum.
  • Other areas (Yarra Valley, city, Dandenongs): from $880 for a 2-hour minimum, then $121 per hour after that.
  • Western suburbs and further afield: a fuel surcharge may apply at our discretion for more distant locations.

Every event is a little different, so get in touch for a personalised quote based on your pickup, drop-off, and any photo stops in between.

Is there a discount for booking multiple cars?

Yes. Book more than one Caddy and you’ll receive a 5% multi-car discount. Imagine a whole convoy of classic Cadillacs pulling up to your wedding.

What’s included in the price?

Every booking comes with the full Caddyman experience:

  • Professional, fully uniformed chauffeur.
  • Red carpet rolled out for the bride’s arrival.
  • Complimentary beverages in the car.
  • Wedding ribbon and bow.
  • Toll charges covered.
  • Large umbrellas and shawls for the bridal party.
  • Photo stops during your hire time.
  • All vehicles CPV accredited, licensed, registered, and fully insured.

No hidden extras — what you see is what you get.

When does the clock start ticking on my hire time?

Your hire time begins from the first pickup, so from the moment your chauffeur collects you (or your bridal party) at the agreed time and location.

 

 

Booking, Payment and Cancellations

 

How much is the deposit?

A $100 non-refundable deposit per vehicle secures your booking and reserves your date.

When is the final payment due?

The remaining balance is due one week before your wedding date. We’ll send you a reminder closer to the time, so it’s one less thing to worry about.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Life happens, and we get that. Here’s the deal:

  • The $100 deposit per vehicle is non-refundable under all circumstances.
  • Cancellations made within 7 days of your wedding date require full payment of the remaining balance, as your car and driver have been exclusively allocated for your event.
  • Need to change your date? Let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you, subject to availability. We can’t guarantee a date change, but we’ll always try.

For full details, see our cancellation policy.

What if Caddyman needs to cancel?

In the very unlikely event we need to cancel (think extreme circumstances beyond our control), you’ll receive a full refund of all payments, including your deposit. We’ll also help you find an alternative provider so you’re not left stranded on your big day.

 

 

On the Day

 

Where do you service?

We cover Melbourne metro, the Mornington Peninsula, the Yarra Valley, and the Dandenong Ranges. We’ve completed runs from the city to the peninsula, the Yarra Valley to Abbotsford, and plenty in between. If your location is a bit further out, get in touch and we’ll see what we can do.

Can I make changes to my booking?

Yes, we’re fully flexible. Changes are accepted right up until the day before your event, and in many cases we can even accommodate same-day modifications. Just give us a call.

Can you do multiple pickups and photo stops?

Yes. Many of our couples have the bride picked up at one location, the groom and groomsmen at another, then a swing past the church, a photo stop at a scenic spot, and finally the reception venue. Let us know your itinerary and we’ll work with you to plan the perfect route.

Do you do late-night pickups or transfers?

Our classic Cadillacs are vintage beauties, and their original headlights weren’t designed for late-night driving. For that reason, we don’t offer late-night transfers. We’ll make sure your daytime ride is unforgettable instead.

What happens if a car breaks down on the day?

We have full breakdown protection in place. In the rare event of a mechanical issue, we’ll arrange a replacement Cadillac or alternative premium transport to get you to your destination on time.

Are the cars self-drive or chauffeur-driven?

All Caddyman vehicles are chauffeur-driven only. Our experienced drivers — Wayne, Clare, Bevan and Don — know these classic cars inside and out. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Can we play music in the car?

Yes. Pop your favourite songs on a USB stick and hand it to your chauffeur. Whether it’s your first dance song, your bridal party’s entrance anthem, or a bit of Elvis to match the Caddy vibes, we’ll have it playing for you.

Can we have food or drinks in the car?

We provide complimentary beverages as part of your package, so you’re sorted. We do ask that no outside food or alcohol is brought into the vehicles. These are lovingly restored classic cars and we want to keep them looking their absolute best for every client.

Can we tie cans or decorations to the car?

We love the enthusiasm, but we ask that no external decorations (tin cans, streamers and the like) are attached to the vehicles. Our Cadillacs come dressed with white ribbons and bows as standard, and honestly, they don’t need much help to steal the show.

Will there be time for photos with the cars?

Yes, photo stops are part of the experience. Your chauffeur will happily pull over at scenic spots during your hire time so you can grab those shots with your photographer. A classic Cadillac makes for a seriously stunning wedding photo backdrop. Check out our gallery for inspiration.

 

 

Safety and the Fine Print

 

 

Are the cars safe?

Yes. All our vehicles are licensed, registered, fully insured, and CPV accredited (Commercial Passenger Vehicle accreditation). Seatbelts must be worn at all times where fitted. In our older vintage models where seatbelts aren’t available, passengers must remain seated. Safety always comes first.

What if road conditions are unsafe?

Our chauffeurs have the final say when it comes to safety. If we’re asked to drive in conditions we deem unsafe for the vehicle or our team, whether that’s steep inclines, dodgy terrain, or wild weather, it’s the driver’s call whether to proceed. We’ll always find a safe alternative route.

Do you use our wedding photos for promotion?

Unless you let us know in writing beforehand, we may use non-identifying photos of our vehicles at your event for promotional purposes. If you’d prefer we didn’t, just send us an email before the big day and we’ll make a note on your booking.

What are your responsibilities as the client?

Just a few basics. Make sure all passengers are ready at the agreed pickup times, and provide us with accurate addresses and schedules. Any additional waiting time or unscheduled stops may incur extra charges. For the full details, have a read of our terms and conditions. Other than that, sit back and enjoy yourself.
