Alternatives to party buses limos for same site ceremony/reception

We are doing a first look so our transportation will be going back and forth to get BP and guests since they have a 3 hour minimum. Ceremony and reception site are the same.

When would you be doing this? If everything is in one place, you'll just be going right into cocktail hour or doing pics (depending on if you did a first look or not).

You have no need to move the people so why try?

My ceremony/reception is at the same location and prior to the cocktail hour/reception I'll be getting married. Prior to that we're doing first look so we can enjoy the cocktail hour food and drinks. During first look I expect we will do the family photos and wedding party pics.

I'll be celebrating with EVERYONE during the reception.

Well, it wouldn't make sense to have a party bus/limo if you're at the same location so I'm not quite sure what the alternative would be to that. Now, if you're looking just for something to do with the BP prior to the reception I'd recommend photos of course. Also, maybe doing a special meeting with everyone in the "get ready" location where you all take a minute to breath as a group prior to entering the reception. Sorry, I'm not quite sure how much time you have between ceremony and cocktail hour (is the 1 hour a gap between ceremony and cocktails?) or what you could do with that time.

I don't understand why you would need one either, but try looking into Uber Black.

Not sure why you need to move people, if the ceremony and reception are at the same location?

Don't need to move people at all. Just was curious if people did anything else. I plan to celebrate with everyone too, but the weddings we've been in we enjoy the time to celebrate with the bridal party after pictures and prior to getting to the cocktail hour. I don't need to do anything, or take them anywhere it was just a thought. It's more of a gesture as an additional thank you and fun way for us to celebrate with the people who are standing up for us before we get get to the reception.

You don't need it. Get them there, celebrate in the bridal suite and call it a day. No one will consider a party bus a 'thank you'.

We have a same site ceremony and reception and I plan on having my bridal party arrive 2 hours prior to ceremony (required by my photographer to get photos before ceremony) and that's when I plan on handing out our bridal party gifts and having some down time with them. I'm sure they wouldn't mind joining everyone during cocktail hour as well and mingling/drinking!

Same location as well. Right after ceremony starts the reception

Are you having a gap between ceremony and cocktail hour? That's what it sounds like if you want to hang out after pictures and before cocktail hour. Please don't do that. With a same location event what are your guests going to do?
