What happens in case of a rainy day?

As this is an open top double decker bus, the upper deck is perfect for sunny days and offers wonderful views during the journey. However, British weather can sometimes be unpredictable, so it is sensible to consider a backup plan.

For added peace of mind, a closed top double decker bus can be reserved in advance as a weather contingency for an additional £200. This ensures that if rain is forecast on the day, a covered bus can be provided instead so your guests remain comfortable during the journey.

If a backup vehicle has not been reserved in advance, a last minute change may still be possible depending on availability, although this cannot always be guaranteed.

Alternatively, if the ceremony and reception venues are located close to each other, the journey can be completed using the lower deck seating only, allowing guests to remain under cover while the bus completes two short trips if required. This flexible option works well when distances between venues are short.
