A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Historic Downtown Sanford Wedding Shuttles
Historic Downtown Sanford is a premier destination for weddings, boasting venues that ooze character and old-world charm. However, the very things that make downtown beautiful—the historic brick roads, the tight grid layout, and the bustling foot traffic—can make parking a nightmare for a convoy of 50 to 150 guest cars. By booking a wedding shuttle service with Charter Bus Rental Company Sanford, you eliminate the stress of guests circling blocks to find street parking or walking long distances in the Florida heat in formal wear.
One of the most popular venues we serve is Venue 1902 at Preservation Hall (301 W 7th St, Sanford, FL 32771). This turn-of-the-century schoolhouse turned luxury event space is stunning, but ensuring your guests arrive on time for the ceremony is crucial. We can arrange a continuous shuttle loop from nearby parking garages or hotels directly to the venue's front steps. Another favorite is The Ritz Theater (201 S Magnolia Ave, Sanford, FL 32771), a 1923 historic theater perfect for dramatic, romantic receptions. Because it is located right in the heart of the commercial district, a charter bus rental allows for a seamless drop-off right at the marquee, giving your guests a red-carpet experience without the hassle of downtown traffic.
Waterfront Weddings on Lake Monroe
Sanford’s position on the St. Johns River and Lake Monroe makes it a prime spot for waterfront nuptials. Venues like 520 on the Water (520 N Palmetto Ave, Sanford, FL 32771) offer breathtaking views and a nautical atmosphere. While these venues are beautiful, they are often located near the marina and the Riverwalk, areas that attract high tourist traffic, especially on weekends. Relying on rideshares in these high-demand zones can lead to surge pricing and long wait times for your guests.
When you rent a shuttle bus or a fleet of minibuses from Charter Bus Rental Company Sanford, you ensure that your guests are transported from the ceremony to the waterfront reception efficiently. We can stage our buses nearby, ready to whisk your wedding party away for sunset photos by the marina before returning them to the reception. The drivers know exactly how to navigate Seminole Boulevard and the surrounding waterfront streets to ensure a smooth ride. Plus, with onboard climate control, your guests can cool down from the humid lake breeze while traveling in comfort.
Rustic & Garden Venues in Seminole County
If you are looking for a rustic vibe, the areas surrounding Sanford in Seminole County offer gorgeous barn and garden venues that feel worlds away from the city, yet are just a short drive from downtown. Venues like The Barn 305 (305 E 1st St, Geneva, FL 32732) or the grand Luxmore Grande Estate (1120 Shepherd Rd, Winter Springs, FL 32708) are incredibly popular. However, these locations can be tricky to find for out-of-town guests driving rental cars, particularly at night on unlit county roads.
Charter Bus Rental Company Sanford specializes in shuttling guests to these tucked-away gems. A 56-passenger charter bus is the perfect solution for moving large groups from a central hotel block in Heathrow or Lake Mary out to these secluded venues. Your guests can enjoy the scenic drive without worrying about GPS signal loss or navigating dark roads after a night of celebrating. We ensure everyone arrives safely and, more importantly, gets back to their hotel safely after the reception.
Bachelorette Parties & Rehearsal Dinners
Sanford isn't just for the wedding day itself; it is an incredible destination for pre-wedding celebrations. Known as the "Historic Craft Beer Capital of Florida," downtown Sanford is home to a high density of breweries and gastropubs. Plan a bachelorette or bachelor party pub crawl with a private minibus rental! We can take your group safely from Deviant Wolfe Brewing (121 W 1st St, Sanford, FL 32771) to Wop's Hops Brewing Company (419 S Sanford Ave, Sanford, FL 32771) and end the night at Tuffy's Music Box & Lounge (200 Myrtle Ave, Sanford, FL 32771).
For rehearsal dinners, there is no place more iconic in Sanford than Hollerbach's Willow Tree Cafe (205 E 1st St, Sanford, FL 32771). This massive German restaurant is a staple for large groups. Instead of having your wedding party drive separately and struggle to find parking near Magnolia Square, book a sleek sprinter van or minibus to transport the bridal party and family. Having a designated driver means everyone can participate in the famous "Das Boot" beer tradition responsibly. We help you keep the party together and the energy high from start to finish.
Airport Transfers for Out-of-Town Guests
Sanford is unique in that it has its own international airport, Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) (1200 Red Cleveland Blvd, Sanford, FL 32773), which is a hub for Allegiant Air and other carriers. Many of your out-of-town guests may choose to fly into SFB rather than the busier Orlando International Airport (MCO). While SFB is convenient, it is still a drive from many of the premier hotels and wedding venues.
Charter Bus Rental Company Sanford offers streamlined airport transfer shuttles. We can track your guests' flights and have a bus waiting at the curb to pick them up. No waiting in taxi lines, no splitting groups into multiple ride-shares, and plenty of undercarriage storage for all their luggage and wedding attire. We can shuttle guests directly from SFB to hotel blocks in Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, or downtown Sanford. It is the warmest welcome you can give your guests, setting the tone for a stress-free wedding weekend.
Guest Shuttles from Hotels to Venues
While downtown Sanford has charm, many of the larger hotels capable of hosting wedding room blocks are located in the nearby business districts of Lake Mary and Heathrow, just a few miles west off I-4. Popular lodging options like the The Westin Lake Mary, Orlando North (2974 International Pkwy, Lake Mary, FL 32746) or the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary (1501 International Pkwy, Lake Mary, FL 32746) are common hubs for wedding guests.
Bridging the gap between these hotels and your Sanford venue is our specialty. We can set up a shuttle schedule that runs on a loop, offering an early bus for guests who want to arrive for the ceremony and a later bus for those just attending the reception. At the end of the night, we can offer staggered departure times, ensuring elderly guests can leave early while the party animals stay for the last dance. This service is not just a convenience; it is a safety measure, ensuring no one is driving back to their hotel after enjoying the open bar.
