Your Sussex Wedding - April/May 2020 (Issue 84)

TRANSPORT 83 TICKETS PLEASE MIDDLE EARTH MINIBUS 07748 243 505 | middleearthminibus.co.uk Who will be your passengers on the big day? We have two 16-seater minibuses, one standard and one executive, to transport the bridesmaids and/or groomsmen from A to B. However, we work with a network of other companies so we’re able to offer most vehicles. We can also make sure family and friends get to the venue on time. Our vehicles are plain with no sign writing and we add ribbons free of charge. What are your top tips? Pay particular attention to access, as coaches can’t get to some barn locations. Also, if you’re using a venue with guests staying locally in B&Bs, consider using minibuses to cover a route, or shuttle runs, as this can prove cheaper than several taxis. Many couples are now asking guests to contribute to the transport at £10 per person, for the journey there and back at specific times. This also works well if the venue has a set time they must be clear as minibuses can take larger groups away quicker. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT Our roundup of the coolest and quirkiest transport options around… ON THE BUSES Need to get all of your guests from A to B? Hire a Routemaster bus to do the job. They’re cool, quirky, fun and functional. Check out @Southdownhistoricvehicles ARRIVE IN STYLE For some Hollywood glamour arrive in a wedding white stretch limo complete with bubbles on ice.

All of their vehicles are 20-seat Bedford J2 models with coach built Plaxton Embassy bodies. If that means nothing to you, then let us tell you, this translates to the height of retro-chic.
