New Orleans Wedding Transportation & Bus Rental Service
New Orleans is one of the most celebrated wedding destinations in the country, and getting your guests from the French Quarter to a Garden District mansion — or from a St. Charles Avenue hotel block to a ceremony on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain — takes more than a rideshare app can handle. New Orleans Party Bus makes it easy to coordinate every vehicle your wedding weekend needs, from a 14-passenger Sprinter limo for the bridal party to a 56-passenger charter bus for out-of-town guests. Call 504-459-0899 or get an all-inclusive quote online in under 30 seconds.
Providing Wedding Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, New Orleans Party Bus has coordinated wedding transportation across the greater New Orleans area — from Uptown reception halls and Mid-City ballrooms to plantation venues along River Road and waterfront spaces on the Westbank. We know the one-way grid of the French Quarter, the weekend traffic that backs up on St. Charles Avenue during Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest season, and the timing it takes to move 80 guests from the Hotel Monteleone (214 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70130) to a ceremony venue before the second line starts. That experience means clear pickup windows, staggered departures, and one person you call from your first quote all the way through the final drop-off.
Call 504-459-0899 to get started.
Bus Options Perfect for Any Wedding Transportation Need in New Orleans, Louisiana
Not every wedding group is the same size, and you should never pay for seats you do not actually need. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo handles the bridal party and immediate family with premium leather, USB charging at every seat, and tinted privacy windows — ideal for photos at Audubon Park or a pre-ceremony stop at the Napoleon House. A 25- to 35-passenger minibus is the right pick for a mid-size guest shuttle between the Roosevelt Hotel and the venue, with powerful A/C and plush reclining seats.
For larger wedding parties or multi-stop weekend itineraries, a 56-passenger charter bus carries the whole crew with undercarriage storage for bags, floral arrangements, and welcome baskets. Browse our full fleet or call 504-459-0899 anytime for a free, no-obligation quote.

Wedding Transportation Services Available in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Following Cities
Our New Orleans wedding transportation service is available from any of our service area locations across Louisiana — whether your guests are arriving in Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, Covington, or Baton Rouge, we coordinate pickup and drop-off wherever they are. We regularly run wedding shuttles between downtown New Orleans hotel blocks and ceremony venues in Jefferson Parish, plantation estates along the Great River Road in St. James and St. John parishes, and lakefront properties on the North Shore. If your wedding weekend spans more than one location or involves a Saturday ceremony outside the city, one call handles the whole route.

New Orleans Wedding Venues We Serve — From the French Quarter to River Road
New Orleans wedding venues cover an enormous geographic range, and each one comes with its own set of logistics. The Presbytère and the Cabildo on Jackson Square sit in the heart of the Quarter, where street closures and carriage traffic mean a charter bus drops guests on Decatur Street rather than pulling up to the iron fence. The Audubon Tea Room (6500 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70118) has limited street parking on Magazine but a clean bus drop-off loop off West Drive inside the park.
Oak Alley Plantation (3645 Louisiana Highway 18, Vacherie, LA 70090) sits 60 miles upriver — a charter bus keeps the whole guest list together on the 75-minute ride up LA-18 rather than scattering across a caravan of rental cars on a two-lane road. Whatever venue your ceremony or reception is at, we know the approach. Call 504-459-0899 to confirm the route for your specific date.
Ceremony-to-Reception Transfers and Multi-Venue Wedding Day Transportation in New Orleans
New Orleans weddings often span two or three distinct locations in a single day — a ceremony at St. Louis Cathedral (615 Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116), a cocktail hour in the Warehouse Arts District, and a reception at the Higgins Hotel ballroom (1000 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70130). Coordinating that sequence across multiple stops without a dedicated bus means guests are hailing cabs on Chartres Street in formal wear or waiting on rideshares that can't find the loading zone. One minibus or charter bus keeps the entire party moving on your timeline: ceremony ends, everyone boards, the route is handled for you, and the next stop is ready when you pull up.
No stragglers, no wrong turns on one-way streets, no one parking three blocks away and missing the first toast. Call 504-459-0899 to build your wedding day itinerary.
Hotel Block Shuttles for Wedding Guests in New Orleans — No Parking Headaches Required
Out-of-town wedding guests staying in the French Quarter, the CBD, or along Canal Street are already navigating one of the most congested and confusing parking environments in the South. Asking them to self-drive to a Garden District venue on a Saturday night — when every meter on Prytania Street is taken and the closest garage is four blocks away — is a recipe for late arrivals and stressed guests. A wedding guest shuttle in New Orleans loops between the hotel block and the venue on a set schedule, so guests simply walk down to the lobby at the posted time and step off at the venue entrance.
We handle staggered pre-ceremony loops and post-reception returns until the last guest is back at the hotel. No parking expense, no confusion, no one missing the ceremony because they could not find a spot on Esplanade Avenue. Call 504-459-0899 for a free quote on guest shuttle service for your headcount.
Bachelor and Bachelorette Party Transportation on Bourbon Street and Beyond
New Orleans is the bachelorette party capital of the South for a reason, and the French Quarter alone can fill three nights with drag shows at Oz (800 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA 70116), live jazz at Frenchmen Street venues like the Spotted Cat Music Club (623 Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA 70116), late-night dancing at Cafe Istanbul, and Hand Grenades at the Tropical Isle (721 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA 70116). A New Orleans party bus rental keeps the whole crew together between stops — no one wandering down a side street alone at 2 a.m., no splitting into separate Ubers at Bourbon and St. Ann. Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound so the celebration runs from the hotel pickup all the way to last call.
There is no drawing straws for whoever stays sober when the bus handles it. Call 504-459-0899 to plan the weekend.
Full Wedding Weekend Transportation and Out-of-Town Guest Coordination in New Orleans
A destination wedding in New Orleans often stretches across three or four days — Thursday rehearsal dinner at Dooky Chase's Restaurant (2301 Orleans Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119), Friday ceremony and reception, Saturday second line through the Marigny, Sunday jazz brunch somewhere on Magazine Street before guests fly home from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (900 Airline Dr, Kenner, LA 70062). Coordinating that many guests across that many days without a central transportation plan is how things fall apart. New Orleans Party Bus builds the full-weekend itinerary with you: rehearsal dinner runs, ceremony and reception shuttles, next-day brunch transport, and airport drop-offs at MSY on Sunday — all confirmed, all scheduled, all handled in one booking. Your out-of-town guests get a clear pickup schedule and you get one contact for everything.
Call 504-459-0899 as soon as your weekend itinerary takes shape — wedding weekends in New Orleans book out months in advance, especially during Jazz Fest (late April–May) and the fall wedding season (October–November).

Client Reviews of Our Wedding Transportation in New Orleans
We used the bus to shuttle the wedding party and guests between venues and it was flawless. Booking was easy and they were so patient as we nailed down the timing. The interior was lovely, the seats were comfortable, and everyone arrived relaxed and on schedule. It meant nobody got lost or held things up. Having that handled took a huge weight off our big day. We're so glad we booked it.

Thelonious W.
We hired the bus to keep the bridal party together throughout the day and it was perfect. From the first call the booking felt easy and the price was upfront. The bus arrived spotless and on time, with plenty of room for dresses and everyone's things. The ride was smooth and we even snuck in a few photos with the lighting. It made the day flow without a single transportation hiccup.
Frequently Asked Questions About our New Orleans Wedding Transportation Services
How far in advance should I book wedding transportation in New Orleans?
We recommend booking at least four to six months ahead, and earlier if your wedding falls during Jazz Fest (late April into early May), French Quarter Festival (April), or the fall wedding season (October–November). Those weekends fill up fast across the entire South Louisiana vehicle supply. The sooner your headcount and venue are confirmed, the better your vehicle options and pricing.
Can a charter bus navigate the French Quarter streets to drop guests at a venue?
Full-size charter buses cannot enter the Quarter's narrower one-way streets, but there are clean, close drop-off points on Decatur Street, Iberville Street, and Canal Street that put guests less than a block from most Jackson Square and Royal Street venues. Minibuses offer greater maneuverability for tighter streets. When you book, we confirm the exact drop-off approach for your specific venue address so there are no surprises on the day.
What is the best vehicle for a New Orleans bridal party of 12 to 15 people?
A 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right fit for a bridal party that size — premium leather seating, USB charging at every seat, and tinted windows for privacy between stops. It's easy to maneuver and park at venues across the Garden District, Uptown, and the Warehouse Arts District. If the group is closer to 20, a 25-passenger minibus gives everyone room to move without being oversized for city streets.
Can the bus wait at the venue during the reception and bring guests back to the hotel?
Yes. The vehicle is booked as a block of hours, so the bus waits nearby during the reception and runs return loops to the hotel block on whatever schedule you set. Most couples set a shuttle at 10 p.m. for early departures and another at midnight or end of reception.
Confirm the return schedule with our team when you book so the timing is locked before the wedding day.
Do you handle airport pickups for out-of-town wedding guests arriving at MSY?
Absolutely. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (900 Airline Dr, Kenner, LA 70062) is about 15 miles west of the French Quarter via I-10 East. We coordinate group pickups from the arrivals level and can run a chartered bus or minibus to collect guests flying in on the same flight or arriving within a close window.
It gets everyone to the hotel together instead of splitting up across a bunch of separate rideshares.
How much does wedding transportation in New Orleans cost?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, the number of hours, and your specific itinerary. As a guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; minibuses (15–35 passengers) run $204–$414/hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. You receive an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds — no hidden costs.
