We got married in October 2025 - our ceremony was in Fontana, WI, and our reception was in Delavan, WI. Cruise-A-Palooza was so fantastic on so many levels because they: 1) were on...
time; 2) were very good at communication leading up to the wedding day and on the actual day; 3) the bus was INCREDIBLY clean; and 4) booking was very easy. We booked the Paragon bus, and it was perfect for our very large, 21-person bridal party and parents. I should also note that the speakers on the bus are fantastic - we had a great time on the ride to and from the ceremony location! The bus was also roomy, and it was at a comfortable temperature. The company's knowledge of the area was also very helpful for us. For example, there was unexpected construction that we were worried was going to mess up our timeline because it would necessitate taking a detour between the ceremony location and the reception location. When we called the company to talk about it, they were already fully up to speed about the construction, and they offered to come earlier to give us an extra cushion on our timeline. We obviously had to pay for that, but the modification of the original booking was so easy. The bus driver was also incredibly nice and super helpful. We had a very positive experience with this company!!

At the end of the night myself and the guests were pretty drunk, but he took the time to help me in with my massive dress and made sure we were all comfortable. He even offered to help load decor onto the bus to drop off at parked cars in the lot so we didn’t have to carry it. He was a true gentleman and a pleasure to have!

We had Mike as our driver and he was great! Our ceremony ended up being shorter than we anticipated so him getting to the church early was really helpful so we could leave early an...
d get to our reception venue a few minutes earlier than we expected! I also really appreciated that he communicated with both me and my sister before the day, so we knew exactly what to expect. Once we got to our reception, Mike was great about communicating with my sister, who was communicating with the photographer about where to meet for pictures. It was also really nice that he could wait for us to get pictures done so that if people weren't in pictures, they could hang out in the A/C on the bus. It was also nice that once the pictures were done, he could drive us right to the hotel entrance too, so we didn't have to worry about walking farther.
The bus itself was really nice. The best man had no issues connecting to the Bluetooth, and there was plenty of space for our wedding party and all our belongings. Loved that we could all be on bench seats facing each other and having fun!
It helped the day go smoothly, and the 40-minute drive felt like nothing because of how much fun we were all having.
The whole experience was awesome - really can't say enough good things!

my husband and I! He was flexible when we made a minor change up in the itinerary, communicated great to us and our coordinator, and overall wanted to ensure the music was bumping and we were having a blast while he chauffeured us around Milwaukee. Phil was beyond kind, and even sent my husband and I a very heartfelt message thanking us for allowing him to be a part of our special day the day after our wedding. I would highly recommend this transportation service for your big day!!
