How we structure the day—airport, hourly, point-to-point, corporate, and events—all with the same chauffeured fleet.

Events & special occasions
Wedding shuttle bus service, sprinter van rental, and mini coach charter — vehicles sized to your guest count.

Step 1: list every leg

Common legs: bridal-party prep-to-ceremony, ceremony-to-reception, hotel-to-venue guest shuttle (often looped), end-of-night reception-to-hotel, and any next-day brunch shuttle.

Bridal-party Sprinter class—map legs before you size guest shuttles

Out-of-town family airport pickups are a separate booking—coordinate with the same chauffeur for continuity if possible.

Step 2: lock the timeline

Work backward from ceremony start. Bridal party usually arrives 30–45 minutes before. Guest shuttle pickups start 60–90 minutes before, depending on hotel-to-venue distance.

Scheduled group transfer—fixed windows beat open-ended night-of waits

End-of-night returns are easier to plan if you set 1–2 fixed pickup windows rather than “as guests are ready.”

Step 3: right-size each vehicle

Bridal party usually fits a Sprinter. Guest shuttle is typically a 24- or 29-passenger mini coach. Larger weddings use a 36-passenger coach if venue access allows.

Step 4: confirm venue logistics

Share venue name and address with your transportation lead so we can pre-coordinate the bus loading zone, valet handoff, and any size restrictions.
