Any suggestions?

SO! I am having my wedding at The Cincinnati Art Museum in Eden Park. There are a very limited number of hotels in that area so we decided we are going to put our room block in at the Marriot right at the bottom of the hill in Mt Adams. I found out while researching the hotel that they DO NOT have a shuttle. Has anyone had this happen before where you had to find transportation for your guests? Our rehearsal dinner is going to be in Mt Adams and the parking spaces are FEW and FAR BETWEEN so I wanted to shuttle people there from the rehearsal so they would not have to worry about parking. I also wanted hotel guests to be able to be shuttled from the hotel to the wedding and back so no one would have to worry about drinking and driving.

Anyone know of any limos who will provide a couple days of service? I am just worried about the bridal party getting home SAFE and not having to worry about driving.

Any thoughts?

I'm sure any of the limo companies would be willing to work with you.  It might be pricy if you're looking for that many hours though.  If you don't care about having anything fancy, I'd try either bus companies (Petermann, Klug, etc) or airport shuttle companies.  They tend to be MUCH cheaper.

Try Motortoys.  They do longer packages than most, and you're able to split up the time somehow.  GL!

I used A Limosuine CO - they were great and very inexpensive - are you using the Spring Hill Suites Midtown? That is where my wedding party stayed, and we had no troubles. The biggest thing about hotel shuttles - even if they have one - you cant guarentee it for your guests- they are on a first come first serve basis. Many hotels will actually refuse to transport large amounts of guests due to a wedding. They are happy to call a cab for you, but they wont always provide transportation. Good luck and hopefully you find something.

Honestly, I don't think that any of the hotels have free bus service.  We had the same problem - probably about 100 of our guests were from out of town.  We had the room block at the Netherland and decided to have the rehearsal dinner there too because it was less expensive than shuttling people around.  (Kelly is awesome and totally worked with our budget). 

For the wedding, which was at Union Terminal, we used Charter Bus Service. They made two trips to get people there and 3 at the end of the night.  No one had worry about drinking, renting a car, or directions.  It was about $600, though. Not including gratuity.

Cincy32011,
NO IDEA! We havent done too much looking, just know that we want to have it there because it so close to the museum. Have you tried any places?

The Rookwood is a great place in Mt Adams area, just up the hill from the Art Museum. You can see if they could accomodate you.

We're hoping to meet with The Rookwood in the next week or so.  We met with VIEW restaurant last night and were very pleasantly surprised.  It's not in Mt. Adams, but it's pretty close.  They can accomodate up to 100 people and will do pretty much anything you want foodwise.  Here's their website www.viewcincy.com

If you're looking for something casual, you can also rent out parts of most of the bars (Pavilion, Longworth's, Alive One).  Another option is Andy's Mediterannean Grill on Nassau.  Their food is awesome, but it would be a tight squeeze for our 50+ people.
