Call 504-264-9424 or use our 30-second online quote tool to lock in your New Orleans wedding transportation today.
Providing Wedding Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, Party Bus New Orleans has handled wedding transportation for hundreds of couples getting married across Orleans Parish and the surrounding parishes. We know the narrow one-way streets in the French Quarter that swallow rental cars, the Magazine Street corridor that backs up on Saturday evenings, and the Garden District blocks where a 56-passenger coach needs to approach from a specific direction to reach the venue entrance. That ground-level familiarity is what keeps your timeline intact when your photographer is waiting at the ceremony and your guests are still boarding at the Warehouse District hotel.
Our reservation team is available 24/7/365, so whether your rehearsal dinner is Friday night or your post-reception getaway is 1 a.m. Sunday, someone is always on the line to confirm your pickup windows and keep the weekend on schedule.
Bus Options Perfect for Any Wedding Transportation Need in New Orleans, Louisiana
Not every wedding convoy looks the same — and that's exactly why we offer vehicles from a 14-passenger Sprinter limo all the way up to a 56-passenger charter bus. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo handles the bridal party run from the hotel to the church with premium leather seating, USB charging at every seat, and tinted privacy windows. A 25- to 35-passenger minibus is the right pick for a single clean loop from your hotel to the ceremony at St. Louis Cathedral (615 Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116), featuring plush reclining seats and powerful A/C for Louisiana summer heat.
When your guest list pushes past 40 people, a charter bus with undercarriage storage and an onboard restroom means no pit stops between the ceremony at Audubon Park and a reception across town at the Roosevelt Hotel ballroom. Call 504-264-9424 and we'll match you with the right vehicle for your group size — you never have to pay for seats you don't actually need.

Wedding Transportation Services Available in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Following Cities
Our New Orleans wedding transportation service is available from any location across Louisiana — and the surrounding Gulf Coast. We regularly run wedding shuttles from New Orleans into Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, Mandeville, and across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway to the Northshore. Destination weddings on the Plantation Road corridor along River Road — at Oak Alley Plantation (3645 LA-18, Vacherie, LA 70090) or Nottoway Resort (31025 LA-1, White Castle, LA 70788) — sit roughly an hour from the city, a stretch of two-lane highway that's beautiful to ride but brutal to navigate in formal wear without a plan.
Anywhere your guests are sleeping and anywhere your venue is located, we build the route around your itinerary. Call 504-264-9424 to get a quote for any New Orleans-area wedding weekend.
New Orleans Wedding Venue Shuttle Service: Every Stop on Your Big Day Covered
Greater New Orleans has no shortage of spectacular wedding venues, and most of them sit in neighborhoods where parking is either nonexistent or expensive enough to be a real headache for your guests. The Audubon Tea Room inside Audubon Park is surrounded by narrow residential streets that fill up an hour before any event; the NOMA Sculpture Garden (1 Collins Diboll Circle, New Orleans, LA 70124) has no dedicated guest lot; and the Cabildo on Jackson Square is a drop-off-only situation for any vehicle larger than a sedan. A New Orleans wedding bus rental takes care of all of it — your guests are delivered to the venue entrance and picked up at the curb, with zero hunting for street parking in Uptown or the Marigny.
We confirm the exact approach road and drop-off point for your venue when you book, so there are no surprises on the day.
Ceremony-to-Reception Transfers and Multi-Venue Wedding Day Transportation in New Orleans
New Orleans weddings often span multiple locations in a single afternoon — a ceremony at St. Louis Cathedral or a Garden District church, a cocktail hour at a separate venue, then a reception at a Warehouse District loft or a ballroom in the Central Business District. That kind of multi-stop day is exactly where a minibus or charter bus earns its keep. Instead of watching your guests scatter into separate Ubers between the church and the Roosevelt, one vehicle collects the whole group curbside and delivers them together — everyone arrives at the same moment, the photographer gets the full crowd, and the cocktail hour actually starts on time.
We build the routing around your exact schedule, including buffer time for the second-line parade procession that's become a signature of New Orleans wedding receptions. Let us know your stops and we'll handle the rest.
Hotel Block Shuttles: Getting Every Guest from Canal Street to the Ceremony Without a Headache
Out-of-town guests staying along Canal Street, Poydras Street, or the Warehouse District face a deceptively tricky problem: the venues where New Orleans weddings actually happen — Uptown mansions, Magazine Street event spaces, Bywater art galleries — are rarely walkable, and the Saturday afternoon street grid between the CBD and those neighborhoods fills with pedestrian traffic, streetcar delays, and the occasional brass band parade. A dedicated guest shuttle loop solves it cleanly. We park a minibus or charter bus at the hotel's designated loading zone, run timed pickups before the ceremony and before the reception, and then loop guests back at the end of the night.
Your guests never have to coordinate rides, worry about leaving before the last song, or navigate a city they've visited twice. Call 504-264-9424 to set up your hotel shuttle plan.
Bachelorette and Bachelor Party Transportation in New Orleans
New Orleans is the bachelorette and bachelor party capital of the South — and Bourbon Street is just the starting point. A proper New Orleans bachelorette night might open with cocktails at Compère Lapin (535 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70130) in the Warehouse District, move to live music on Frenchmen Street in the Marigny, loop through the Lower Garden District for late-night dancing, and close at a 24-hour spot in the French Quarter. Without a bus, that itinerary costs four separate Ubers, two lost members of the group, and one person who had to drive.
A New Orleans party bus rental keeps everyone together from the first toast to the hotel drop-off — onboard bar, LED lighting, and a sound system to keep the energy going from the hotel lobby all the way to the final stop. No drawing straws for a designated driver in a city built for celebrating. Call 504-264-9424 and we'll build the route around your night.
Full Wedding Weekend Transportation for Destination Weddings and Out-of-Town Guests
New Orleans draws destination wedding crowds from across the country, and coordinating guests who land at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (900 Airline Dr, Kenner, LA 70062) — roughly 15 miles from the French Quarter via I-10 East — is a logistics puzzle that a single charter bus solves in one move. Instead of 30 guests ordering individual rideshares into the city during Friday afternoon I-10 traffic, one vehicle picks the group up at the Ground Transportation curb on the Arrivals level and delivers everyone to the hotel together. We can then run the full weekend: welcome dinner shuttle Thursday evening, rehearsal dinner Friday night, ceremony and reception Saturday, brunch pickup Sunday morning, and airport returns Sunday afternoon.
One point of contact, one quote, one weekend handled. Call 504-264-9424 to build your destination wedding transportation plan.

Client Reviews of Our Wedding Transportation in New Orleans
We used the bus to get our bridal party between the ceremony and reception and it was flawless. Big enough for the whole crew plus my dress, comfortable, and it looked beautiful in our photos. The booking was handled with care and they confirmed every detail ahead of the day. Not having to coordinate a bunch of cars was such a relief. It kept our wedding day running right on time.

Booked it to shuttle our guests so nobody had to drive after celebrating. Best call we made. It ran multiple trips smoothly, everyone stayed safe, and the inside was clean and roomy. Coordinating it from the planning stage was easy and they were responsive every step. Our guests kept saying how thoughtful it was. It took a huge logistics worry off our plate for the New Orleans wedding.

Norah P.
The bus carried our wedding party around New Orleans for photos before the reception and it was perfect. Lots of room for everyone in their outfits, a comfortable ride, and the lights and sound let us keep the energy up between stops. Reserving it was simple and the pricing was clear. It felt like part of the celebration, not just transportation. I'd recommend it to any couple in a heartbeat.

We rented it for our wedding to move the whole party and some family between venues. It showed up early, ran exactly on schedule, and was clean and spacious inside. The booking experience was smooth and they were patient with all our last-minute changes. Having everyone arrive together made the day feel so coordinated. One of the easiest vendors we worked with for the whole wedding.
Frequently Asked Questions About our New Orleans Wedding Transportation Services
How far in advance should we book wedding transportation in New Orleans?
At least four to six months out for peak wedding season (March through May and October through November), when the city's calendar is also loaded with Jazz Fest and French Quarter Festival events that draw on the same vehicle supply. October weekends in particular fill extremely fast — if your date falls during any major New Orleans festival, book the moment your venue is confirmed. For off-peak dates, six to eight weeks of lead time is workable, but earlier always means better vehicle selection and pricing.
Can a charter bus navigate the French Quarter and Garden District streets?
Full-size 56-passenger charter buses can access most French Quarter drop-off points via designated commercial loading zones, but some of the narrower blocks — particularly around Jackson Square and Decatur Street — require a minibus or Sprinter for a curbside drop. When you book, share your exact venue address and we'll confirm the right vehicle size and approach route. A 35-passenger minibus handles almost every New Orleans neighborhood without issue and is the most common vehicle for intra-city wedding shuttles.
Do you handle transportation for wedding guests arriving at Louis Armstrong Airport?
Yes — airport pickup is one of the most common requests we get for destination wedding weekends. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport sits about 15 miles from the French Quarter via I-10 East, and Friday afternoon traffic on that stretch can turn a 25-minute drive into 45 minutes or more. One charter bus or minibus picks up your arriving guests at the Ground Transportation curb on the Arrivals level and takes them straight to the hotel, together, without anyone ordering individual rideshares into unfamiliar city traffic.
Can we include a second-line parade as part of our wedding day transportation plan?
Absolutely — second-line processions are a signature New Orleans wedding tradition, and we build the bus pickup and drop-off windows around them. The bus typically waits a few blocks from the parade route during the procession and then picks the group up at a pre-agreed endpoint. Let us know the planned route and approximate duration when you book, and we'll coordinate the timing so there is no gap between the parade ending and the reception arrival.
How many vehicles do we need for a guest list of 80 people?
A guest list of 80 people typically calls for one full-size 56-passenger charter bus plus one 25- to 35-passenger minibus running in tandem, or two 40-passenger coaches, depending on your pickup locations and timing. If your guests are spread across two or three different hotel blocks, running staggered loops with two vehicles keeps your arrival window tight. We size the fleet to your headcount and itinerary — call 504-264-9424 with your guest count and hotel situation and we'll map out the right combination.
What happens if our ceremony or reception runs long?
Your booking includes the vehicle for the agreed block of hours — if the reception runs past your scheduled return time, just let our team know as early as possible. We work with you to extend the booking when vehicle availability allows, and our reservation team is reachable 24/7 throughout your event. The smart move is to build a buffer into your initial booking window; most couples add 30 to 60 minutes of cushion to their reception return to account for the New Orleans tradition of a night that doesn't end on schedule.
