A brilliant and original wedding bus hire!

An absolutely wonderful service! We hired RM's lovely vintage Routemaster bus for our wedding and everyone loved it! Debra was brilliant and provided me with all of the options for our hire. The bus arrived in good time and the driver was great. Debra was happy to arrange a specific scenic route via Didsbury to avoid the ring road on the way to Stockport Town Hall. We're so glad we took this route as the personalised blinds got such a wonderful reception from passing motorists and pedestrians! Debra was lovely and took some absolutely amazing photos which I will treasure and a video which brings back great memories! We ordered a drinks package which our guests really enjoyed and we had our own playlist for the journey. So many guests said how much they liked the bus! We absolutely loved it too and would highly recommend RM Buses to anyone planning a unique wedding!

Disappointing service for my wedding

We hired RM Buses to take our guests from the church to the venue for our wedding day a few weeks ago. It was expensive but we thought it would be a fun experience for our guests.

I tried to advise and ask what route they were going to take prior to the wedding but I was told they would check the route beforehand. They obviously didn’t. The (scruffy) driver kept taking the wrong turns and my mum tried to tell Debra from RM Buses the correct way but she just stared ahead and ignored her while the driver took the wrong turn again and again, getting further away from the venue.

A journey that should have taken 17 minutes took 45 minutes. I had paid for an acoustic guitar singer and miniature golf entertainment but most guests didn’t have time to experience them before the wedding breakfast.

Fortunately my husband and I were not on the bus and went in a car to the venue, but we had planned a big arrival after our guests got to the venue. We were supposed to drive up the front in our car with everyone having drinks in the grounds. We couldn’t do this due to how unnecessarily long the journey took.

When I emailed to Debra after the wedding expressing my disappointment, my email was ignored. I sent a follow up email and that was ignored too. Such a shame. A genuine apology or at least an acknowledgment would have gone a long way.

She did send a rude reply to my mum and said we were lucky to get photographs with the bus as that hadn’t been mentioned previously on emails. Isn’t half the point of getting an expensive red double bus for the photos?!

Fortunately, all my other suppliers were excellent so we had a fantastic day. RM Buses are the only wedding suppliers we used that we couldn’t recommend.

My dream bus!

RM buses came up top trumps to complement our hackney cabs for our London transport themed wedding cars.
They arrived promptly and the bus was perfect for additional seating for enjoying canapes and reception drinks.

Thank you Debra and RM buses for your professional and friendly service.

Quality Service - the bus made our day

We wanted something special and RM Buses ensured we go this. Excellent service from the initial booking through to the day. The bus was early, we had sufficient time for pictures, the staff were very professional on the day and we were very much looked after. Thank you RM - you made our day.
