Are wedding/funeral cars still exempt from plates and such like?

and at what point of a wedding does work become a normal taxi job?

after the reception to a hotel or airport?

I would say a wedding cars deals with the transport to and from the wedding cermony.

Any more and that's illegal, IMO.

The wording says something like "in connection with any wedding." In some cultures the "wedding" can go on for several days.

I remember reading the law and case law on this a while ago, basically a wedding car can only be classed and used as such on the day of the wedding only, not taking "the girls" on a hen night the night before or the day after the wedding unless the car is taking guests home or to places after the ceremony and celebrations. Anything else is not allowed.

Contrary to some beliefs, the "wedding car" exemption does not apply to buses or large "novelty vehicles" from what I recall.

One bonus is that cars used in connection with a wedding or funeral are usually exempt from parking regulations! 8)

You are correct. The exemption is from licensing with the local authority so only covers vehicles with up to 8 passenger seats.
