Why Choose Dublin for Your Wedding Day?

Dublin, Ohio, is more than just a suburb of Columbus; it is a destination in its own right. For wedding planners, it offers a distinct advantage: accessibility combined with atmosphere. Located just off I-270, it is easily reachable for local guests, yet it feels worlds away from the hustle of downtown Columbus. The city is divided into two distinct vibes: the cobblestone charm of Historic Dublin and the sleek, urban feel of Bridge Park.

Choosing Dublin means you have access to world-class golf course venues, riverside parks, and luxury hotels—all within a five-mile radius. However, moving guests between these locations can be tricky, especially with limited parking in the historic district or traffic congestion on Riverside Drive during peak hours. That is where Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin steps in. By booking a private shuttle service, you eliminate the stress of guests navigating unfamiliar roundabouts or splitting up into rideshares. We keep your group together, ensuring the vibe remains high from the first pickup to the final drop-off.

Top Wedding Venues in Dublin, Ohio

Dublin boasts some of the most sought-after wedding venues in the Midwest. When you book your transportation with us, you can rest assured that the drivers are familiar with the load-in zones, parking availability, and best routes for all the major locations. Here are a few favorites where we frequently provide shuttle services:

The Exchange at Bridge Park

For the modern couple looking for an open, airy feel with industrial-chic vibes, The Exchange is a top contender. Located right in the heart of the Bridge Park district, it offers stunning views and walkability to hotels and nightlife. However, parking garages here can fill up quickly on weekends.

Address: 6520 Riverside Dr, Dublin, OH 43017

When you rent a shuttle bus for The Exchange, we can drop guests right at the entrance, sparing them the walk from the Longshore Street garage. A minibus is perfect for looping guests from the nearby AC Hotel or Embassy Suites directly to the venue doors.

The Club at Corazón

Transport your guests to Tuscany without leaving Ohio. The Club at Corazón offers a rustic, vineyard-style aesthetic with a beautiful lake backdrop. It is located a bit further out from the city center, making private transportation almost a necessity to ensure guests don’t get lost on the winding roads leading to the club.

Address: 7155 Corazon Dr, Dublin, OH 43016

A 56-passenger charter bus rental is ideal here. We can pick up guests from their hotels and provide a comfortable, climate-controlled ride to the venue. After the reception, you won't have to worry about guests navigating dark roads; we’ll get them back safely.

Muirfield Village Golf Club

For a wedding steeped in prestige and elegance, Muirfield Village is unmatched. Home to the Memorial Tournament, this venue requires a level of sophistication in transportation to match its grounds. A fleet of all-black or all-white motorcoaches from Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin adds that touch of class your clients are looking for.

Address: 5750 Memorial Dr, Dublin, OH 43017

Guest Shuttle Services for Seamless Logistics

One of the biggest headaches for any wedding planner is managing the gap between the ceremony and the reception, or simply getting out-of-towners from the hotel to the venue. In Dublin, where hotels might be near Tuttle Crossing but the venue is in Historic Dublin, a shuttle service is the ultimate problem solver.

At Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, we specialize in creating custom shuttle loops. Imagine this: Your guests are staying at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Columbus Dublin (5100 Upper Metro Pl, Dublin, OH 43017). We can stage a bus there to pick up guests 45 minutes before the ceremony. While on board, they can enjoy air conditioning, listen to a curated wedding playlist over the PA system, and chat with family members they haven't seen in years.

Once the ceremony ends, we can shuttle them to the reception venue, or perhaps to a filler location like Pins Mechanical Co. (6558 Riverside Dr, Dublin, OH 43017) for a cocktail hour while the bridal party takes photos. By the end of the night, the drivers are ready and waiting to take everyone back to the hotel comfortably. No one has to be the designated driver, and the party doesn't have to stop when the reception ends.

Bachelor & Bachelorette Party Transportation

Before the big day, there is the party before the party! Dublin and the surrounding Columbus area offer incredible nightlife, and a party bus rental is the safest and most fun way to experience it. Whether the groom wants to hit the links or the breweries, or the bride wants a spa day followed by cocktails, we have the perfect vehicle.

For the guys, book a minibus to hit the Golf Club of Dublin (5805 Eiterman Rd, Dublin, OH 43016) for a morning tee time, followed by a brewery tour. We can shuttle you to Getaway Brewing Co. or take a quick drive down to downtown Columbus to the Arena District. With a private bus, there’s plenty of room for golf clubs in the back and a cooler of drinks on board.

For the ladies, how about a trip to The Spa at River Ridge (5555 Rings Rd, Dublin, OH 43016) followed by rooftop drinks at VASO (6540 Riverside Dr, Dublin, OH 43017)? The rooftop igloos at VASO are a must-do in the winter! With a party bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, the group can enjoy champagne on the road, blast their favorite tunes, and enjoy LED lighting systems that set the mood before you even arrive at the bar.

Rehearsal Dinners in Historic Dublin & Bridge Park

The rehearsal dinner sets the tone for the wedding weekend. Dublin offers a culinary scene that rivals any major city, but parking in the historic district can be tight on Friday nights. Don't make your VIP guests circle the block looking for a spot. Charter a minibus to pick up the wedding party and family from the hotel and drop them right at the front door of the restaurant.

Tucci's is a local favorite for rehearsal dinners, offering an upscale atmosphere with a fantastic patio. Address: 35 N High St, Dublin, OH 43017

Another excellent option is The Pearl, located in Bridge Park, known for its oyster room and made-from-scratch menu. Address: 88 N High St, Dublin, OH 43017

When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, we ensure that your rehearsal dinner transportation runs like clockwork. We can run a continuous loop or a scheduled pickup and drop-off, ensuring the bride and groom get their beauty sleep before the big day.

Airport Transfers for Out-of-Town Guests

If you have guests flying in for the wedding, they will likely be arriving at John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) (4600 International Gateway, Columbus, OH 43219). While it is about a 20-25 minute drive to Dublin, navigating rental car counters and unfamiliar highways can be stressful for guests who just want to relax.

We offer efficient airport transfer shuttles that can pick up large groups of family members or friends right at the terminal curb. The drivers will assist with luggage and get everyone onto a comfortable minibus or motorcoach. Guests can use the onboard WiFi to let family know they’ve arrived, recharge their phones with individual power outlets, and relax in reclining seats as we whisk them away to their Dublin hotels. It’s a VIP welcome that sets the stage for a hospitable weekend.

Photo Ops and Day-Of Transport

Dublin is photogenic, and you’ll want to capture the magic. But moving a bridal party of 12 people plus photographers and videographers in personal cars is a recipe for disaster. Someone always gets lost, or parking takes too long, eating into your "golden hour" lighting.

Rent a sprinter van or a minibus for the bridal party to turn the photo session into a mobile party. We can take you to the iconic Dublin Link Bridge (Riverside Dr, Dublin, OH 43017), the pedestrian suspension bridge that connects Historic Dublin and Bridge Park. It’s a stunning architectural backdrop for wedding photos.

For something truly unique to Dublin, we can swing by the Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees). It’s a quirky art installation featuring 109 concrete ears of corn—a fun, memorable spot for group photos! Address: 4995 Rings Rd, Dublin, OH 43017

With Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, your driver stays with the vehicle, meaning you can hop off, take the shot, and hop back into the AC without missing a beat. We keep the itinerary moving so you stay on schedule for the reception entrance.
