we booked yesterday with royalty and even though we left a deposit with them already we are going to check out all star and see what quote they give us! i heard great things about all star and heard they are actually better then royalty so now i am confused, because i heard all star has better and nicer limo buses than royalty has so now i want to go check them out and see if i like their limo bus better! i was wondering if anyone on here is getting a limo bus for their wedding or has used a limo bus? i dont think limo buses are very popular on here cause i havent heard about many girls using the buses, so i was just wondering if you have or will please let me know!! :) i want your opinions on them and if they worked out with using the buses.. also especially if you are using a limo bus or have used with royalty or all star.. i need some feedback!! thank you girls!! :)

Re: LIMO BUS!
i used a limo bus and got it through Royalty. I was also worried about how it would look bc many of them i dont like the outside or inside. I liked Royalty's. I have pics of the outside of the bus in my album and even the inside. It had leather couches, had our own section with a booth and table for dh and i to sit at. Had plasma tv and was in great condition. I saw pics of all stars limo bus and looked the same to me about

Re: LIMO BUS!
I have been contemplating a limo bus but figured it was way out of our budget. Can anyone give a rough estimate of how much it costs? I totally understand that it is personal so no biggie if you don't feel comfy sharing... Thanks in advance though if you do!!

well theres 2 sizes theres a 30-40 passenger and 40-60 passenger bus so would depend on what you need. Also will depend on how long you need it for, all packages are for 3 hours and anything over is charged by the hour. I paid about $1800 for 3 hours or maybe just a little under, I also got a rolls and I remember what the total was for both so trying to remember how much the rolls was to determine exactly how much the bus was. But definitely around $1700-1800 and this was for the bigger bus. Some girls on here have said they found it for about $1500 and 1 post recently i remember someone saying $1200

Re: LIMO BUS!
yeah we would lose our deposit if we switched. but if we were to get a better deal else where with nicer cars than we wouldnt lose much! i dont think we are goin to switch anymore, the only reason i thought maybe we should is because we didnt really look at many other companys, royalty was about the 3rd company we saw and we were sick of looking for limos already so when we went to see royalty and they gave us that deal and we saw the bus was a little more descent looking than the other ones in other places we were just like ok lets just book with them cause we couldnt take looking at any other place, afterall they are just limos and not my biggest concern in my wedding, so it isnt much of a big deal.. the only thing is i just thought the rolls royce cars and buses could of looked more cleaner and in better shape cause they worent really in good shape when we looked at them in the show room.. but ive heard girls who had them and were very happy and their cars when it came to them on the day of the wedding were very nice and cleaned so im not going to worry about it and we are just going to leave it like that and wont switch! :)

Re: LIMO BUS!
yeah no the price isnt that bad. they beat a lot of other places and give you a good deal! we got a rolls royce car plus the limo bus and we got it all for about 1700 i think it was! not bad at all, considering we have checked out other places who wanted much more than that! :)

Well what we did the day of is the party bus came and picked up dh and the groomsmen first and dropped them off at the church. Then the bus came to my house to pick up the bridesmaids. I went in the rolls with my parents to the church. After the church, dh and I went on the party bus with bp and parents went in the rolls. We had about 24 total on the bus i think. We got that just so there would be alot of room lol. I definitely dont see how it would even fit close to what they say it would fit lol, it was comfy for all of us.

Re: LIMO BUS!
I had gotten a Rolls Royce and the 30 passenger party bus through Royalty, and they were fantastic! My friends loved the limo bus and keep talking about how they thought it was such a great idea to get one. We had a big bridal party - 29 people. My brother, sister-in-law, and 2 nieces who were my flower girls didn't go on the bus because they wanted to take their own car and have it with them at the end of the night. But I had my other brother bring his gf on the bus so she didn't have to travel to the wedding alone - so we had 26 people on that bus, and they said they fit fine. So you should be fine using a 30 passenger bus for 27 people.
The way we started out was the bus picked up my husband and the guys at his house and dropped them off at the church. Then the bus came to my place and got the girls. My dad and I rode in the Rolls Royce to the church, and my mom rode on the bus over to the church with the girls. After the church, the bridal party rode on the bus to the hall. Me and my husband rode in the Rolls Royce by ourselves so we could have some alone time. My parents got a ride over to the reception with one of their friends. I don't think you technically have to supply rides via limos to the parents, but it's always nice to do that if you can (but we didn't, haha).
And Royalty was just really good. The drivers were so nice and friendly, and fit in with our group of people really well. So you're definitely in goods hands.

i already posted in your other thread and no never heard of this and never seen it. In my situation, it made no sense for the FG to ride with me to the church, I explained why in the other thread. And DEFINITELY NOT on the way to the hall. After the church we went and took pics for over 2 hours, she was there for some of it but then left with mother to go to Rh, would've been to long for her to stand there and take pics. And biggest thing was that no kids shouldve been on the party bus lol. Everybody on the bus was drinking, very loud music, even some songs that were inappropriate for a kid to hear. Just not the environment for a kid, plus there was smoking on the bus.

I've never heard of the FGs riding with the bride. You could do that if you want, but usually there isn't enough room to have the bride and her parents and the FGs. You can have the FGs ride in the limo bus if you want. The reason my brother and sister-in-law and my nieces (who were my FGs) didn't ride on the limo bus was because my brother and sister-in-law didn't feel comfortable having the kids on the bus without car seats - ever since that horrible tragic limo accident a few years ago where that flower girl got killed - it freaked them out so they wanted the kids to go in a car. If there will be a lot of drinking and smoking going on in the limo bus, you might want to have the FGs go separately if they are really young.

Re: LIMO BUS!
we are getting a limo bus and we went to royalty first, but then went to all star and booked all star even though they were more expensive because theirs were SO much nicer! But, if you already put a deposit down, I don't think it's worth losing it!
