Wedding Hire of Vintage Routemaster

We hired the vintage routemaster on the day of our wedding and it was one of the best purchases we made! Our venue was a few miles away from the church, and there was little parking around the church for guests to use. We asked guests to park at the venue and catch the routemaster to and from the church. I contacted Beverley to enquire about hiring a bus and nothing was too much trouble, Beverley recommended a larger bus (which was just as well because lots of our guests decided to use it) and took the time to call and email me through the details. The bus even stopped off to pick up guests staying enroute and dropped guests off at the church early enough to have a drink in the local pub. All of our guests have been raving about what a good idea it was and how much they loved the journey, but it also took away all the worries of hiring extra bridal cars to take the bridal party to the venue and meant that the street was not so crowded that the wedding car could get through (and all of our neighbours didn't get blocked in!) Even better, we were able to have photos with the bus which just set the day off perfectly, and we were able to keep the bus blind for our memento box. Thank you Beverley and all the staff at The Vintage Red Bus Company!

Excellent, as always!
We have used The Vintage Red Bus Company for our Christmas party 4 years in a row now and every year they provide an incredible service. They are professional, friendly, punctual and very tolerant of our out of tune singing. Would recommend to anyone - just not on the same night as us!

Our guests loved it! Fantastic service

We used the Vintage Red Bus Company for our wedding to take our guests between our church and reception venue. The bus was nicely decorated, came with personalised blinds and allowed us to serve drinks and play music throughout the journey to get the celebrations going. All the guests loved the bus and commented on what a unique experience it added. The buses are in wonderful condition and also gave us some great photos.

Beverley was amazing, she was so helpful and friendly with the organising, and so quick to answer any questions we had, really making us feel at ease.

Thank you so much, would highly recommend!

Excellent Service

We used Vintage Red Bus Company for our wedding on 27th October 2017. Dealing with Beverley in the first instance was amazing! She was so helpful with every aspect of the organisation and made us feel at ease that everything would go to plan. Customer service truly is world class.

The crew that turned up on the day were very accommodating and were really helpful seating the guests and handing out beer and champagne for the second leg of the trip. They allowed photographs after they had finished the driving to add to our scrap book which was amazing.

I would highly recommend this company to everyone!!!

Would definitely recommend!

We hired a double decker route master for our wedding day to take our guests from our church to reception and could not recommend the Vintage Red Bus Company more!

The service we received from Beverley and the team was amazing, they were so helpful and professional, and everything ran so smoothly on the day. Their buses are in wonderful condition and some of our favourite photos are taken with the bus as it was such a unique feature and highlight of our day!

Thanks again!

Thank you Vintage Red Bus Company!

We were also let down by another bus company. Beverly and her team provided an outstanding service and really saved our day!

We had regular communication even up to the day before to finalize changes to the route.

On the day the bus arrived within perfect time and everyone had a great time on board.

Thank you!

We couldn’t recommend the vintage red bus company more! We reached out only a couple of weeks before our wedding as our other coach company let us down, Beverley and James were so helpful throughout, the red bus was in great condition and service on the day reliable. A+++

A perfect wedding bus experience

We booked the bus as a transfer between our wedding ceremony and reception venue. Old, young and everything in-between, our guests had a wonderful time aboard! The booking process was great - Beverley was extremely helpful, friendly and responsive via email/phone throughout. On the day, the bus was on time and well decorated. The drinks we had provided were put on ice for us, something we hadn't requested. So lovely that this was done. The driver and conductor team were friendly and happy to wait while we took photos etc. upon arrival at our reception venue. Thank you to all involved - would definitely recommend.

Spot on - everything we could have wanted!

A fantastic business. Bev was so accommodating to us, double and triple checking all the details and making me feel comfortable throughout the process. The added personalised tickets and boards added that little bit more to the day's experience.

The bus got stuck in traffic but they were constantly in contact with the groomsmen and Bev even turned up at the venue to keep us calm!

Thank you guys, highly recommended!

We used VRB on July 27 2018 to transport our daughter with her friends to her 18th Birthday Party and back. Beverley and her team were really helpful throughout and gave us tips on how best to organise drinks, route etc. It was really characterful to travel in a Vintage Bus and the pictures in front of the bus with the Happy 18 Birthday signs and her name are a lovely momento of her special day. She and her friends sang their hearts out upstairs on the return journey with the playlist she had made. So much better than the usual transport options. Thank you VRB, you did a great job.

Our guests loved it!! Great service.

Thank you VRB for playing a great role in our special day!! Beverley and the team did an awesome job of keeping us informed right up to the Big Day, and then the team on the day we’re faultless in helping with drinks, photos, and ensuring our guests had the best experience between church and venue.
We even got the name plate off the front of the bus as a great keepsake!
