Epic Wedding Bus!

I just wanted to say an ENORMOUS thank you from myself and Myles for our experience at our wedding this weekend - the bus was incredible and so much fun! One of the highlights of our day, and all the guests raved about it 😍

I have to say of all the suppliers we used for our wedding, your company was the most organised, professional, accommodating and quick to reply. If we ever have a need for such a vehicle again (sadly, unlikely!!) there’s no doubt who we’d choose!

Eric our driver and Elizabeth our conductor were a great team, getting everyone on board nice and quickly and helping with drinks etc. We had so much fun everyone said they wanted the journey to be longer!!

Thanks again -

Bride and Groom :)

Highly recommend for weddings!

We hired the Vintage Red Bus Company for our London wedding in February and were very happy with the service we received from Conor and the rest of the team.

We found email communication with the company to be so helpful and attentive and made the booking process super easy and straightforward, which we were really grateful for. The clear and helpful communication also meant we had full trust in the team to be where they said they would at the right time, which is a blessing when organising a wedding. They also allow you to provide your own alcohol for guests which we sent to the depot ahead of the wedding day, the team then helped serve to our guests and sorted all clear up afterwards.

We also heard from all our guests on the day of the wedding, that the service on the bus was really friendly and they all had such a great time. We highly recommend using The Vintage Red Bus Company for weddings!

We had a great experience using The Vintage Red Bus Company for our wedding! The team were really responsive and helpful in answering our questions, it was easy to coordinate with them in the run up to arrange the logistics (including delivering fizz & glasses for them to bring chilled on the day) and the team were flexible about timings to allow plenty of time for photos etc. Would highly recommend them!

We had the best experience from The Vintage Red Bus Company for my mother's 70th Birthday party. Conor was brilliant and so efficient at answering all my questions, and Omar and James were excellent on the night too. Thank you again :)

Hired a vintage bus for our wedding and I cannot recommend enough. Not only was the customer service excellent from start to finish, they always replied swiftly and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and in control. The bus experience itself was incredible, it was decorated beautifully, the photos with it our gorgeous and the bus driver and conductor made everything so special. I thought it was a great and competitive price too. Highly recommend.

Incredible experience and service for wedding on New Year’s Eve

What an incredible service and experience. Neil Timberlake and Keith Butcher provided the most outstanding care on the day. We got married at Camden Town hall and had the journey to Farringdon for our reception. The bridal party had a long delay - Neil and Keith were so accommodating and offered to wait for as long as it takes to make sure we could still utilise the bus! It was there in good time and the guests absolutely loved it. We got some lovely photos too! Truly perfect and the tickets are a fab touch. I was worried we might be cold as it’s partially open but we weren’t at all - all warm and toasty and guests loved this New Year’s Eve trip for wedding! Also a big thank you to Connor for all the communication - so responsive. This service was all round 10/10!

Wedding bus hire

Vintage Red Bus Company transported us and our guests from our wedding ceremony to our reception in central London. They were great to work with from start to finish - Conor answered all our questions quickly and clearly and the team on the day were lovely. We got some drinks delivered to their depot which were provided in an ice bucket on the day and they also let us serve snack boxes for our guests to eat on the journey. Definitely recommend them for anybody who wants to hire a routemaster!

Prom transport in style

We recently hired a Routemaster double decker for my sons year 11 Prom. From first contact the service was exceptional with very quick responses to my emails. Nothing was too much trouble including adding school coloured ribbons to the front of the bus. The kids were really excited to travel together to their prom and exclaimed as they got on, saying it was so cool. Thank you to all who helped make this special occasion even more memorable. Highly recommended.

The Vintage Red Bus Company are a pleasure to deal with. They guide you through every step of the way, respond quickly and nothing was too much trouble.
Our wedding guests loved the champagne London sightseeing tour - even though it was 31 degrees in September!
Totally recommend booking them.

Brilliant and reliable wedding transport

We hired a vintage bus for our wedding day. The team were incredibly responsive from our very first enquiry. We felt like we were in safe hands from the start and that didn’t falter for a moment on the day. They arrived exactly as planned and with plenty of time, arranged relevant permits and planned their routes, and welcomed our guests aboard. It ran without a hitch and without any involvement from us on the day (same cannot be said of local taxi firms!) They include lovely details like decorations in the colour of your choice, tickets, and a personalised board on the front of the bus. Thanks team, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you!

Excellent service

Excellent service, Bus was decorated with the Bride & Grooms name and date of wedding, both driver and conductor were A1, the children loved the little ticket keepsakes they received as they entered the bus. Guests loved it, we used it to go to the wedding venue, then back to the sit down dinner, and final drop off the evening venue. People in the streets along the way were beeping the car horns and waving. a very nice day.

Absolutely fantastic!

We used Vintage Red Bus company for our wedding transport between our ceremony and reception venue. With our ceremony being in Twickenham and the rugby final ending up falling on the day of our wedding, we were nervous about the bus making it on time but we needn't have worried - it was ready waiting for us. The bus was perfect, and James and Adam (our driver and conductor) were both fantastic. Our guests loved it!

Wedding bus!

Had a bus hire in Windsor for my recent wedding.
Communication was fab, the added touches of choosing the colour ribbons, flowers and personalising the screen on the front of the bus was amazing (which we got to keep!)

I didn’t go on the bus myself as the bride but my guests really enjoyed their trip, was a highlight and was told the driver and conductor were lovely.

The bus even waited for myself and my husband to arrive to have some videos and photos with.
Thankyou so much

Wedding Bus

Neil and his team Chris, Cathy, Phil and Roger were brilliant. We needed two vintage routemasters to take the wedding guests from the centre of Oxford to Little Wittenham. They had to contend with dreadful road works that resulted in Oxford being gridlocked but they were on time. Then Floods at Clifton Hampden and the church being at the end of a small road with parked cars and low hanging trees. Navigated with great skill. Totally professional, reliable and wanting us guests all to have a great day - what more could you want?

Fantastic service and such a special experience

Just fantastic from first contact to the day itself: efficient, courteous, helpful service and a unique experience offered. Everything was exactly as agreed and the bus (we had single decker) looked even better than I imagined, inside and out. Such a special way to transport our guests. Everyone loved it. We had restricted space for turning at the pick-up/drop-off point and Neil was brilliant at managing this.

Beautiful shiny red bus, excellent and reliable service!

We couldn't have been happier with the service provided by James and his team. The red bus is SO shiny and clean, with decorations and everything. Professional and communicative service leading up to the day. Safely driven and thoughtfully planned. We had champagne on the way back from the wedding ceremony - all dealt with accommodatingly (we provided the champers and plastic glasses). Patient, smart and courteous driver and staff. The perfect way to travel!

May 2022 Wedding

Booked for Wedding in May 2022. Every time we contacted the team, they were so helpful with questions and our Wedding day went seamlessly.
They fantastically got all of our guests to the Church and back – despite an accident which held up the traffic, the driver was able to re-route and get there still without any delay!
The personalised tickets went down fantastically with our guests, that was such a great touch. The personalised signs, flowers and ribbons looked great too. Everyone enjoyed being able to sing along to the music too. Would 100% recommend.

Wedding Shuttle Service

We booked the bus to transfer guests from our wedding ceremony to the reception venue. We initially booked just the one trip, but discovered that we would need more as numbers continued to rise. Victoria Events couldn't have been kinder and let us have the extra journeys for free. They arrived promptly, the bus looked great and had our personalised blind on the front and the driver was very friendly - what more could you want?
