Any experience with these London red bus companies?

No, but I can recommend the one we used: www.omnibuzz.co.uk they were quite good, and the guests loved it! £495 per bus IIRC.

Just a quick question? Where will the guests be leaving thier cars? Will they be getting taxis to the registry office and home again afterwards, or do you plan to have them brought in from the reception venue so they can leave their cars there?

My friend had one for her wedding - she said it was fab, I think she went with Routemaster.

Timebus have some excellent marques of red buses. Their link is www.timebus.co.uk

Thanks all for your help.

The best quote I have is about £350 per bus so 495 would be a bit much. The good price I have been offered though obviously makes me want to be sure about the service I am going to receive. Hopefully I will find someone somewhere who has some direct experience.

It is a central London wedding so taxis and public transport will be the order of the day. Unless any of my guests go mad and want to bring their cars and find parking.

Thanks for letting me know about Timebus. I did get a quote from them, but they came in about £100 more expensive than the other quotes.

Any other input would be much appreciated, thanks for everyone's help.

Hi Fets,

DO you mind letting me know which company it was that quoted £350? Everything I have seen is almost double that!

Sure thing, although not quite sure why I put that as it was actually £380 per bus not 350. I think it is that price because we are booking two buses. That is from Traditional Travel. Routemasters For Hire quoted 395 for each bus but they will also do a price match. I decided to go with the one that quoted cheapest first as they seem pretty nice. The only company I have got multiple good feedback for is TimeBus, but they were 525 per bus. Hope this makes sense, happy to answer any other questions... or if there is any feedback out there.

Hi all,

Just wondering what your experience with Traditional Travel was? We've just got through quotes from a few and found them very competitive.

Thanks!

Are these quotes for one way or return? We have having a large (72 seater) red routemaster to take our guests to the ceremony and back again. Is about a 20 minute journey each way and our ceremony venue has awful parking so thought I would make it easier for everyone. Our quote is 615 though, that's for both ways.

Hi, we did go with Traditional Travel in the end and our experience with them was great. Well I say great, I didn't travel on the actual bus, I was in a black cab, but our guests all had a good time, they played music on the bus, and they were very easy to organise stuff with when I had to change the pick up time a little. Would recommend.

Hi Fets,

Thank you for this - very helpful!

We're getting everything booked up this week :-)

Hi Guys

Does anybody know of a wedding bus company that will allow you to serve alcohol (champagne) on board as you transport your guests from the ceremony to the venue?

Thanks!

IIRC, Timebus have no problem with this....just no smoking.....

Hello,

Has anyone used London Retro Bus Hire? http://www.londonretrobushire.co.uk

We've just had a quote through for £410 - very reasonable we thought. But I cannot find any reviews or see any pictures of actual events on the website.

Thanks!

Hi,

We used London retro bus hire for our wedding, and have since rebooked them for a tour around London as we have family visiting from Australia. They were very prompt and the staff were helpful and friendly. We had no problems but have nothing to compare them to as had never booked anything like this before.

No but for our wedding this year we used London Bus Company and they were extremely good and reliable (journey from shoreditch to mayfair)
