stretch SUVs

kplessing

I need to know HONESTLY - how many people can a STRETCH hummer or other stretch SUV fit? I  really dont like the looks of party buses or limo buses- but am concerned that my 19 people bridal party (2 of whom are under 7) wont be comfortable in the strech SUV.  I am hoping to get a trolley- but they are about $1500 including the tip.  (is that too far off from what a stretch SUV is?)
The ride from the church to reception is about 20 min. 
Any ideas?

I don't know if they make a stretch Hummer or SUV that fits 19 comfortably, but maybe someone else will weigh in on that.  I think for that many people you would probably need to go with 2 limos in order to fit comfortably.  We are transporting about 20 (BP + dates and possibly parents) so we opted to go with a party bus so we don't have to worry about the space issues.  I was concerned about the look of it at first, but then decided it was more important to me to have our BP all together and comfortable on the ride (it will be about 40 minutes) than have a couple of pictures with a "nice" looking vehicle.

We had 14 people in our Navigator, and it was a little tight!

I was in 1 with 15 people.. we were squishy.  It was not pleasant at all.  The back was an extra seat like in the back of a van, it was hard to get back there in tuxes and dresses.  It was just not a good fit.  I would do either 2 limos or get a bus.  I'm going to be honest here.. It doesn't matter if you like the looks of the party bus or not... honestly who is going to say something or see you.  Go for comfort over looks.

I have a 18 person stretched Escalade and I measured by moving seat by seat to see how many people my size could comfortably sit. I believe it was 13. I'm 6ft around 190lbs but I'm all legs so knee room was crucial. There's is quite a drop off and I would recommend using the party bus or opt for two limos. 19 people are not going to fit in a 22 person SUV especially with dresses on. The curve in the back of the limos makes it difficult for adaquate leg room.

We had 12 adults and quite a few bags of stuff and flowers, etc and I would say our 22 person SUV limo (we had the Infinity 2011) was pretty full- probably could have fit 2-3 more people max if we had too, but def not more then that. I agree a party bus could work great- I was in a wedding w/ one and it was fine- and we paid a ton of money and we didnt take any pics w/ the limo, so I dont really think it matters what it looks like
