  Limo is the next thing on my list to tackle, so I'm not really sure, but I think it seems a little bit high....are you 100% set on offering a shuttle? I know I really wanted to do one, but it would be too expensive and honestly, all our guests are adults, so they should be able to be responsible enough to figure out how to get back to the hotel.....so I guess it depends, but I would say you don't NEED one, but maybe try calling around other places and getting a comparison?

  I can't get a limo to save my life.  I am getting married on St Patrick's Day and all I need is transportation from the reception back to Boston for the night.  Nobody will book me a Limo becuase they want to save them for nights on the town.  I can get a town car but I want a Limo......GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  I didn't have a shuttle, only a limo.  For 3 hours (limo), and then a town car to come pick us up at the end of the night and dropping us off at home it was $550 which included the tip.  I used a company in Weymouth.

  Check out Black Tie Limo.  They have shuttles in addition to limos.  I honestly can't remember the price of the shuttle, but it was must cheaper than i expected.   They were great to work with.  They drove guests from the hotel in Danvers, to the church in Peabody, then to the reception in Topsfield.  Then at the end of the night, they drove people back to the hotel.

  I haven't booked a limo yet but we are using McGinn Bus Company in Lynn for a shuttle. Paying $595+tip for a 55 passenger motorcoach. They will make two trips from hotel to venue (4 miles) and two trips from venue to hotel after the reception, plus one early trip from venue to hotel about an hour before the reception ends. We are getting married in Lincoln, which is just as far from them as Gloucester, so I'm sure they could go there. Also there is no deposit and they have been very responsive and nice so far. Good luck!!
