My fiancee and I are looking for a low cost way to shuttle our guests to/from the reception site and the hotel. Any one know of any low cost shuttle services or know of any low cost alternatives to a shuttle service?

    The reception is at Pen Ryn Mansion in Bensalem and the hotel is by the new Parx Casino.

    We wanted to use shuttles but they were out of our price range. Instead we used Yellowbird Bus Company.

    Overall, they weren't that expensive, and our guests didn't care. We served food and beverages so they were happy as clams!

    OMG really? The Yellowbird Bus Company? I had no idea they would do something like this. How much were they, if you don't mind me asking? And, do you have contact info for them? Thanks a million!

    I'm using Limo Today Shuttle service, and it was by far the least expensive I could find. They have been great to work with, and very attentive on the phone.

    I'm traveling right now for work so I don't have the info handy. Can you email me?

    When I'm back home I can pull my binder (if I can find it) and give you all the info.

    we're having our reception at pen ryn too, but not until Sept. What hotel are you staying at? I was going to look into all the hotels in that area over the next few weeks and just go with whichever hotel lets everyone check in early. I was hoping that the hotel at the casino was going to be done in time for our wedding but from what i've heard that's not until next year. 
    as far as transportion, we found out for an extra $360 we can use our trolley for the whole day (from 12pm-11pm) instead of just 3 hours. so we're using that to take us to the church, then downtown for pics, then to pen ryn for more pics, to pick our guests up from the hotel and take them to pen ryn and then take everyone back to the hotel at the end of the night. i feel that for the price it's well worth it! good luck and let me know how it goes!

    this wont really help you - but we are using Hillmans Bus service in NJ. its a school bus - they are doing one pick up at the hotel and one pick up at the reception venue after the wedding and it is costing $195.

    Wow, we're looking at Trolley's too. Which Trolley Co. are you using? As for the hotel it's a toss up between the Hampton Inn and the Coutyard by Marriot. The Courtyard by Marriot might be the final hotel, mostly because we've got a connection there and think we can get them to lower their price per night. =)
