Tiny Details for Your Big Day: Transportation Tips for Chartering a Bus

Keeping the group together during transport for your wedding can solve a world of problems you didn’t know you had. You provide a convenient way for everyone to reach their destination without any hassles. Plus, you get to spend more time with your guests before departing into the sunset for your honeymoon.

With that in mind, here are four transportation tips for chartering a bus.

Your first consideration is how big you want your ride to be. You don’t want your bus to make multiple trips, but what if your venue sits upon a dramatic mountaintop? Ensure you have enough space for a bigger bus to turn around without falling off a cliff.

In some cases, bigger isn’t necessarily better. You might determine that two or three smaller busses are preferable so that guests can leave at various times.

One of the biggest advantages of chartering a bus for your wedding transportation is getting all of your guests to the venue safely and on time. It’s stressful for out-of-town guests to navigate unfamiliar city streets,

What if some of your guests want to dance until midnight while others prefer to be home in time to tuck in the kiddos? When it comes to the end of the reception, plan several departing trips. Let guests know on your invitations what times the bus will run so that they can plan their evenings.

You don’t have to reserve your chartered bus for your big day only. If you are planning a bridesmaid or bachelor party, why not keep you and your guests safer by renting one for the evening? Your guests will thank you for the thousands you saved them in DUI fees.

Likewise, your tribe might want to party hearty after your less energetic relatives depart. If so, consider running one bus later for those guests who hang out for the after-party.

Chartering a bus gives you tons of options. After all, some people transform “schoolies” into homes on wheels. You might have a hard time finding one with a bedroom in the back — but they exist.

Other popular options include reclining seats and individual climate controls. Everyone knows that one person who is always sweating or freezing. You can even find one with a restroom for guests with accessibility needs.

Providing transportation for your guests is a thoughtful way to keep everyone safe and reduce stress. Consider the above four tips when chartering a bus for your big day.
