Dorset Dubhire

Dorset Dubhire

We have had a love for classic VW campers for many years. After we dressed our 1975 camper ‘Ernie’ up in ribbons for a family wedding four years ago where he attracted so much attention and so many smiles, we decided to go look at offering these iconic vehicles as wedding transport.

Dorset Dubhire was born in May 2010 after the purchase of our beloved 1960 baby blue and ivory split screen ‘Lulu’. We had her interior designed specifically for wedding hire, with oak units, facing seats for that important communal feel and ivory upholstery.  Seating six adults, there is plenty of room for the largest bridal gown, for the groom and his groomsmen or for bridesmaids. Her first outing was to our local VW show, Vdub at the Pub in Wimborne and she was an instant hit, winning best split screen. She has won a number of trophies since!

We have since undertaken weddings in many fantastic locations, meeting some really wonderful couples and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. With a very busy year ahead of us in 2012, we have just acquired another wedding hire camper, Lottie, a freshly restored 1970 bay window  bus in gleaming lotus white. She will be available for weddings from May 2012 and she will also benefit from a beautiful, custom made oak interior. 

Our aim is to ensure that our couples have a special and memorable experience. We dress the vehicles with ribbons, flower garlands or vintage style bunting, offer a champagne hamper, play a couple’s favourite music during the journey and liaise with them throughout the planning stages of their wedding to make sure everything is exactly as they would like it to be on the day.

We are very  much looking forward to meeting couples at The Dorset Vintage Wedding Fair and introducing them to Lulu and our newest addition, Lottie!

Our Sunday stunner - Little Al's Ice Cream Trike

'Little Al's' 

1920's Traditional Ice Cream Trike

"Serving delicious and premium quality New Forest real dairy ice cream and sorbets, our refurbished Pashley 33 ice cream trike is the star of the show here at Old Crocks Vintage Hire! 

Once upon a time it worked up and down Bournemouth seafront, but we rescued it from a dusty garage where it had been languishing for many years. Now restored to its former glory, this traditional ice cream trike will give that something extra to your wedding or event. We offer a unique hire service, with a large choice of ice cream and sorbet flavours available, as well as dessert options. This is served by traditionally dressed staff (striped blazer and straw boater) to complete the vintage feel.

We aim to help make your wedding one to remember and can personalise the ice cream trike with ribbons, bunting and lighting. You can choose 4 flavours of ice cream to treat your guests and may want to wow them with champagne sorbets served in vintage glassware or tempt them with tira misu. We can also provide lollies for the kids or those who can't eat dairy."

We will be offering free champagne sorbet tasting at 

The Dorset Vintage Wedding Fair 

and a 5% discount for any bookings made on the day.
