Say “I Do” and Go Motorcoach

Posted by | Blog | No Comments

The magical day has arrived.  You are getting married and all of your friends and family members are there to celebrate with you.  Everything needs to be perfect.  Of course no wedding ever goes off without a hitch, but there are some hitches that can be prevented.  Surprisingly your friendly neighborhood charter coach can make a big difference.  How?  I’m glad you asked.

Have you ever noticed that wedding receptions are often notorious for poor behavior at the reception?  It is no secret that alcohol consumption is a very typical occurrence at the wedding reception.  Often times the drinking begins way before the actual ceremony.  You want your guests to all be safe, but how can you do this when you have so many other things to worry about on the big day?  You can do this easily by hiring a charter bus to take your guests from the ceremony to the reception and back to the hotel in complete safe.

Let’s say that the family and many of the guests are all staying at the same hotel.  This is quite common especially with destination weddings.  The ceremony may be several miles away at a beach, a local church or in some beautiful botanical garden.  What better way to get all the guests there than by bus.  There is no need for the guests to all hop in their own cars and fight for parking when your bus can get all of you there in complete comfort.  No parking available?  No worries at all because that bus you chartered is dropping everyone off and going away until it is once again needed.  When the ceremony ends it is back on the bus and off to the reception, which could be held at any number of places.

Now here comes the fun part; your guests are free to relax without having to think about the drive home.  They can celebrate merrily with the happy couple well into the night without worrying whether or not they had one too many.  When the newlyweds escape the madness in their limousine they can do so knowing that their guests are all traveling back to the hotel under the watchful eyes of their skilled bus driver.  Sure, the bus driver was given a nice meal at the reception, but did he/she have a drink?  Nope.  Your driver is a professional and takes his/her job seriously.  You can rest assured that only beer the driver will have is a root beer.

Even if the hotel is not that far from the reception hall you can still benefit from using a bus.  Go with a smaller motorcoach and you can shuttle your guests back to the hotel in shifts.  Some guests may not be the party animals they thought they were and will want to get back and begin a restful night of sleep sooner than others.

And not only are you keeping your guests safe, but you are also keeping everyone else on the road safe as well.  No one wants to hurt anyone else or be the cause of an accident and with your motor coach shuttling the guests then the roads are less crowded and safer for everyone.

A typical wedding these days’ costs thousands of dollars and what better way to ruin the entire day than by seeing your guests leave when they are not sober and in no condition to drive.  By hiring a charter motor coach you can have peace of mind knowing that your guests will arrive safely at their destination.

Don’t Overlook One Important Detail!

Anyone who has ever planned a wedding knows that it’s a HUGE undertaking.  Once a simple and fast tradition has turned into a multi-day, big, expensive extravaganza.  In 2014, we have more media and ideas coming at us than ever.  Wedding websites show us all of the new and latest must-haves at our ceremonies and sites like Pinterest make the weddings of our dreams seem like a DIY reality.

With so many things to check off the to-do lists, don’t forget about one very important, usually overlooked part of the day: shuttling your guests between the ceremony, the reception and the hotel.  It may seem like a small detail, but it could make all the difference.  Your guests won’t have to worry about directions, travel time, getting a DUI ticket or worse.

According to the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) website:

                “In 2012, 10,322 people were killed and approximately 345,000 were injured. Each crash, each death, each injury impacts not only the person in the crash, but family, friends, classmates, coworkers and more.  Even those who have not been directly touched help pay the $132 billion yearly price tag of drunk driving.”

It’s easy to eliminate the risk of drunk driving all together when you hire a motorcoach company to take care of you and your guests on your wedding day.  Let’s face it, that day is stressful enough.  Take the guess work out of finding a sober, confident driver and enjoy your day.

Motorcoaches come in so many sizes, it’s easy to customize to your specific needs.  Coach companies today have a wide variety of vehicles in their fleets from old fashioned trolleys to large, executive style motorcoaches.  Each company is different and fleet details vary, so make sure you ask questions when talking to your sales associate.
