A couple is hosting their wedding reception at The Ranch at Laguna Beach and needs to transport 120 guests from hotels in Lake Forest. They book two 56-passenger charter buses to handle the main group and a 15-passenger sprinter van for overflow and family members. Pickups start at 2:00 PM from the Hilton Garden Inn Lake Forest, with a direct route down CA-133 to Laguna Canyon Road. The buses arrive at The Ranch at 2:45 PM, well ahead of the 3:30 PM ceremony. The sprinter van makes two trips for late arrivals. After the reception ends at 9:30 PM, all guests are shuttled back to the hotel. The total cost for two full-size charter buses and one sprinter van is $3,890.
Estimated Travel Time: ~35 minutes
A wedding group needed a shuttle for a reception at The Casino San Clemente (140 W Avenida Pico, San Clemente, CA 92672) after their ceremony at Santiago de Compostela Catholic Church (21682 Lake Forest Dr, Lake Forest, CA 92630). The group of 35 wanted to avoid I-5 Friday traffic and parking hassles. Their Lake Forest charter bus rental picked up everyone at the church at 3:30pm, then took I-5 South directly to San Clemente (exit 75). The drive took about 35 minutes, and the driver dropped off everyone at the venue's designated charter bus area before parking in the nearby lot. After the reception, the driver made sure everyone got back to Lake Forest safely.Their price for the day was $1,300, which included the driver and fuel.
