Why Does a Bride Love a Minibus and a Groom Love a Coach?

Image

There is something truly amazing about the wedding ceremony – the emotional moment of walking down the aisle with the wedding march playing in the background, the smitten look on the groom – as if he has fallen in love again, the exchanging of vows and rapturous applause from the guests, all conjure up one very magical unforgettable moment for the bride and groom, as well as the guests.

The wedding reception sets the stage for the party. Now officially a wedded couple, you invite your guests to a sumptuous spread of food and drinks before the DJ spins the vinyl and keeps everyone on the dance floor. The atmosphere is electrifying, yet relaxing. Everyone is smiling so much that their face hurts. It really is the best day.

Of course a fantastic wedding doesn’t just happen. It takes effort and months of preparation. The big ticket items like the dress and the venue are usually settled first. For the lovely white wedding gown, the latest fashion trend for is heading towards plunging v-neck which is bold and ultra-modern. Venue wise, in addition to manor houses in the countryside, the demands for non-traditional venues are also on the rise.

Top 3 Unique Wedding Venues in London:

  • Natural History Museum – the very spacious and grand architecture combined with dinosaurs provide the quirky photography backdrop for those who seek a difference.
  • The Old Royal Naval College – this venue offers two halls. The Painted Hall is a grand example of opulence and often described as ‘the Sistine Chapel of the UK’, while the Admiral’s House is intimate and charming.
  • Kensington Palace – there is romance, and there is the Kensington romance. In the unbelievably romantic Orangery within the Kensington Gardens, you can truly create your magical moments.

Naturally, the decision of a venue goes hand in hand with transportation and logistics. How will your guests arrive? How do they get from the ceremony to the reception? What is the seating arrangement?  Thankfully, when it comes to transportation on the wedding day, hiring a luxury minibus or coach to take your guests around is an easy decision which offers incredible benefits:

Top 5 reasons why hiring a private minibus or a coach on the wedding day:

  • Ensure your guests arrive on time for the ceremony. No one is late. Everyone gets to witness the special moment with you. After that, the guests are taken to the reception so the party can start on time too.
  • One transport arrangement. No need to book multiple taxis and no need to worry who should be in the same cab with who. One minibus, or a coach, would solve all the issues for you.
  • A more economical option. A minibus can take 15 to 18 passengers, a mid-range is suitable for 30 people comfortably, while a big luxury coach has the capacity for 53 passengers (even with a toilet and a drinks machine on board). Hiring a minibus or a coach is often more economical than other transport options.
  • Take the stress out. You have enough to worry about and transportation shouldn’t be something you have to worry about.
  • Luxury Minibuses or Coaches from MET Coaches. It’s your wedding day – your guests shouldn’t arrive in a timeworn coach or worse, be stranded on the roadside waiting for the AA. MET has a fleet of sparkling new luxury minibuses and coaches, all are clean, spacious, comfortable, and most importantly, our drivers are fully licensed and highly professional.

Established in 1995, MET Coaches is one of the biggest coach operators in Greater London. We specialise in coach hire for a wide range of events including weddings. Our fleet of minibuses and coaches are new, modern, spacious and comfortable. We also provide attentive and highly professional service. Call us today to discuss how we can help you on your wedding day.
