Thanks for the great info. I already booked my limos but I was thinking about getting a bus before I had booked. I am sure many brides will find this info useful.

Re: Bus Charters-My Price/Info Results on 13 Companies

Thank you SO much for the info. Now, I have a question. Are you going to use the bus for transporting guests from the ceremony to the reception? Or is it for OOT guests to go from hotel to ceremony to reception to hotel?

I ask b/c I too am interested in getting some type of shuttle buss thing.

Thanks!

THANKS SO MUCH for sharing! The companies that you listed with school bus rentals, do they come with a driver or you have to do that yourself? I'm considering using one to transport people day of. That'd be nice for the hotel guests.
