We hired JOTSB for our wedding.
They were very responsive to all communication prior, and
Very flexible dealing with a site they had never worked with before AND changing plans...
even on the day of. Many of the guests commented how the fun started right when they got on the busses. We had a nice wedding and they got the vibes started in a great way.
Our drivers were great on the day of, and super helpful when we asked to take cute pictures with the busses.
Fully reccomend them for your wedding.
Such an awesome company! Great service every step of the way and the customizable school buses are really so cute and a major hit with the guests
They were good to work with, they gave us a discount, the bus driver was friendly (he arrived a little late, but got everyone there on time). Everyone loved having the personalized...
message on the side of the bus!
Jump on the School Bus added such a pop of fun to our wedding day! The whole team worked with us to get our proposal to match our needs and when the day came, all of our guests lov...
ed riding in the bus to our venue! Everyone thought it was SO cool that we were able to put messages on the side of the bus and both of our bus drivers (Cindy and Tony) were absolute pros. Tony even fully filmed our wedding ceremony and texted it to us afterwards. Wow! Jump on the School Bus are the absolute best and we'd recommend them to everyone!
We hired Jump on the School Bus for our wedding and are so happy we did! Our venue required that every guest be shuttled to and from the venue, and I was nervous it was going to be...
difficult logistically to get everyone there on time. But our driver was super on top of it and it was easy as can be! The last bus back to the hotel was a riot too, at least five of our guests said the bus ride back was their favorite part, seriously! We had a lot of fun with the custom lettering as well. Thank you Jump on the School Bus - aka Bills bus ;)
Jump On The School Bus was an amazing vendor to work with and a super fun way to spice up wedding transportation! Our guests loved the bus, and have continued to complement us on t...
he fun vibes and the adorable lettering on the side. Our bus driver was nothing short of amazing, and everyone we worked with to set up the contacts/logistics were outstanding. We could not recommend Jump on the School Bus enough!
Jump on the school bus were so professional and so fun! They made the logistics of our wedding day so smooth and everyone had a blast. We would definitely recommend!!
I rented a bus for my wedding afterparty from dinner in Goleta to the Red Piano DT and back to Goleta. Jose was a wonderful driver! Very pleasant, respectful and early. Super re...
liable outfit and will book again!
I also included this review on Google reviews but I just got married 09/22/2024. I cannot say enough positive stuff about this company!!! The label on the outside made everyone so ...
happy!! They were on time, EXTREMELY kind, and made me feel so special on my day!! If you’re thinking about getting transportation 100% go with them!! They can take up to 50 people a trip .They went above and beyond later in the night when we had to breakdown the wedding to get us home that night. Just EXCELLENT!!! I have ZERO complaints I will recommend them to anyone who asks!!
Jump on the school bus was awesome! First they provided us with a cooler full of ice and water since it was so hot in August. We bumped up our music via bluetooth. If you can’t cho...
ose a playlist, they’ll play one for you.
When we first started the booking process, Kevin was just so fun and helpful to chat with. Lindsay was on top of it with all the logistics and details. I wished we got the name of the driver; he was nice and friendly.
Thank you all so much for making it memorable for us! Everyone on the bus had so much fun!
Jump on the School Bus was such an indispensable part of the comprehensive wedding experience! Having a fun, safe, and unique shared guest transportation to and from our wedding wa...
s an extra special addition for our guests. The Jump on the Bus team was super communicative, responsive, positive and easy to work with during the planning process. We also turned the transportation into a party bus at the end of the wedding, driving around town dancing to our Spotify playlist on their incredible sound system. It extended the dance party well after the venue shut down and was the perfect way to keep the energy high after the wedding ended. We would highly recommend to anyone, they are so experienced and perfectly executed a dramatic offboard and onboard procession with the venue layout. Being able to personalize the letter banner on the sides of the buses pre and post ceremony was icing on the cake!
My wife and I recently got married in June. Jump on the School Bus was amazing. They were very accommodating for us and our guests. We got picked up from our hotel and the bus w...
as beautifully decorated with our names on the side. They were able to drive me to the wedding venue first, and then returned for my wife and the rest of our guests. They had a nice big ice chest for drinks, and we were able to play our music. The reception continued on the bus ride home. I would highly recommend Jump on the School Bus for any wedding or special event.
Jump on the School Bus was a lifesaver for me when it came to hiring transportation for my wedding. Our guests were scattered all over Santa Barbara and parking around our venue wa...
s limited. Rather than relying on a fleet of ride share cars, we wanted to make things easy for our guests and give them a fun option that would still drop them right at the venue, and JOTSB came through in spades.
Because of how far apart people were and how many different places they were staying, it was not easy to figure out a route that accommodated everyone, but Lindsay was extremely patient with us and created a route that managed to both pick up everyone and get them there on time. And our driver Roberto executed it perfectly, while also making sure everybody had a great time.
If you need transportation for any kind of event, I would definitely recommend picking JOTSB to make it happen.
Jump on the School Bus did the transportation for our wedding and they did such a good job. My husband and I met in college driving the university student shuttles so it was super ...
awesome to have a bus transport us from the hotel to the venue and after party. It was like a full circle moment! Bryce was our driver and he quite literally was the best driver ever and everyone on the bus had such a fun time! We were able to play our music and there were lights in the bus so it felt like an actual party bus. I would highly recommend them for any of your transportation needs especially since people were drinking at our wedding and it made me feel much more comfortable knowing everyone was being driven and not have to worry about people being unsafe.
Nothing but raves from our guests who used the school bus to get to and from the venue to our hotel block. The personalized signage was a hit - as was the complimentary water bottl...
es for our new moms who made the trek to our wedding. Would highly recommend!
We LOVED Jump on the School Bus.
They were so easy to work with - flexible and down-to-earth.

Highly recommend!
We highly recommend the team at Jump on the school bus. We used them for a trip to the wineries the day after the wedding. The driver Bryce was amazing and communicative and our gr...
oup had a blast. We had about 36 people on the bus and fit comfortable. We dealt with a 100 degree heat day, so no AC was a small issue, but we embraced it and had a blast. Would highly recommend.
Highly recommended! Responsive, flexible, and on-time service that can't be beat. All our wedding guests loved the ride and we couldn't be happier!
We used Jump on the School Bus for our wedding transportation and they did such an incredible job. They worked with us through all the changes that COVID brought about, and support...
ed us on our big day. They had excellent communication, and worked to make our vision a reality. Thank you for making our day so special and being a wonderful partner in the wedding planning process!
So happy with our decision to have Jump On The School Bus as a part of our wedding day! Darin and Sierra were so helpful and flexible, especially since we had to postpone twice due...
to Covid. Darin is very friendly and driven to provide a positive experience, and that is exactly what we received. The shuttle was punctual, not to mention had an amazing set up and sound system. They also let you choose what you would like written on the side of the bus, which is a cool idea. Very happy with the service and experience!
I contacted Jump on the School Bus early on in our wedding planning. We wanted to provide transportation for our estimated 80 wedding guests. Darin was great to talk to and very fr...
iendly. At the time, the price we were quoted was more than we had budgeted for, so I thanked Darin for his time, but told him we were not going book. Darin contacted me about 3 times over the last year leading up to our wedding, checking into see if we wanted to reconsider, or work out a deal. Each time, we decided not to book transportation, but Darin was always very understanding and great to communicate with. The final time Darin contacted us was just a week before our wedding. We weren’t planning on booking transportation, but had recently learned that Lyfts and Ubers are very limited in the area, so we reconsidered. We went back and forth a few times with Darin, and he was very motivated to work out a deal. In the end, we booked one bus for a price that worked for us. The bus was fun and guests loved it. Very friendly owner and quick communication. Definitely recommend, if it’s in your budget.
So much fun!! When the bus pulled up to pick up our guests, on the side of the bus it said "Jon and Marina's Wedding", it made it very clear and easy for everyone to know that was ...
the bus for them. It was so much fun and a very easy way to keep everyone safe while they can enjoy themselves at our wedding. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs transportation but especially if you expect some guests to enjoys a few drinks and might needs a easy ride home!
Such a fun way to get guests to and from the wedding without worrying about anyone drinking and driving. Love the ability to customize the writing on the bus. A huge hit at the wed...
ding. Very easy to work with and schedule.
Thank you!
Following a recommendation from two of our friends who used Jump On The School Bus for their weddings, we ultimately decided to do the same as we had an excellent experience with t...
hem being guests to both weddings. One of the weddings I was actually the maid of honor in and was included in the group text that goes out with the drivers, can I just say WOW! Their communication techniques and style is incredible, it is a no brainer why they are the best of the best! When it comes to transportation (a BIG deal for a wedding), strong communication is an absolute must. These guys hit it out of the park! They provided frequent updates during every step of the process and quite frankly made it super easy for us to worry about other vendors and tasks tied to our wedding. The drivers are all very friendly and safe, the busses were clean, and everyone made it to their destinations (to and from the wedding) on time. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone who wants a great experience and to have their wedding day be stress free! We had the pleasure of working with Darin, Sierra, and Lindsay, and every one of them was professional and understanding of our needs. Thank you!!!
Working with Darin & Sierra was such a breeze! Our wedding day transportation was probably the most stressful thing we had to plan, but Darin consistently reassured us that everyth...
ing would work out just fine - and it did! All of our guests LOVED the bus ride to/from the venue. It was equipped with lights, awesome music and an ice chest full of beverages (that we chose)! My only regret is that we didn't have them take my husband and I for a spin, haha! But we did get some photos on the bus post ceremony, which we are really looking forward to seeing. We hadn't even met Darin or Sierra, we just spoke with them on the phone or via email and Darin was SO sweet to track us down after the ceremony to introduce himself to us. They are very down to earth people and will do their absolute best to accommodate you and your guests. We have no regrets about choosing them for our wedding day transportation!
Darrin and Sierra were so amazing and I was referred by our coordinator and many others when it comes to transportation. My guests thought it was the cutest addition to our wedding...
and the bus even took us to the bars in the funk zone. I am forever grateful for their service and making our day a day to remember!
Darin and Sierra responded to our request to book right away and we couldn’t be happier. They were professional and made the booking process easy and stress free. Their crew was fr...
iendly, attentive and on time for all the pickups and drop offs. Their school buses provided a fun carefree experience that our guests loved. Book them for a fun memorable transportation option!!
The complexity of transportation was something I really underestimated when i starting planning the wedding. Luckily Darrin and Sierra made it so easy, were always available for qu...
estions, and brought a level of customer service that is unique! Not to mention the buses are rad- people LOVED that they had our names on the side. They took something that would have otherwise been really stressful and made it super simple and fun for us.
Darrin was such a great guy to work with. They were very professional and truly dedicated to what we were looking for. Our guest had such great compliments about how they enjoyed t...
he bus and how easy it was for them to get on and dropped off. We would definitely recommend Jump on the School Bus if you're looking for transportation for your wedding.
Darin and Sierra are awesome! They provided a shuttle bus for our August 2016 wedding at the Ty Warner Sea Center, and they were incredible. They were always accessible, always n...
ice, and always professional. They gave us a great rate and wonderful service. Our guests loved the bus and couldn't stop taking photos. Our wedding day transportation went seamlessly because of Jump on the School Bus. We will recommend them to everyone we can. Book them!!!
Jump on the Bus is SO MUCH FUN! I can’t convey what a great idea this is for a wedding in Santa Barbara. We got married during Old Spanish Days (Fiesta) so having a reliable transp...
ortation source was essential. Jump on the Bus was an amazing addition to our wedding. Darin and Sierra were very organized in the weeks leading up to our wedding (particularly when we weren’t), giving us the best information on where to pick up and when, so that all of our guests could have a stress free day. The buses were personalized with messages of our choice on the side and included water to refresh our guests. The real highlight of the night was at the end of the reception, when we all piled into the big bus and headed down to State St for our after party. It was so nice to have a safe, free alternative for our guests to get home after a party with an open bar. It really allowed everyone to make the best of the night. Our bus driver was also incredibly thoughtful and helpful in getting us all to where we needed to go and taking care of a rowdy crowd. An especially fun touch at the end of the night was the pole in the middle of the bus, which has some of my favorite memories from our wedding. Jump on the Bus is a great transportation solution for any large event and is particularly great for weddings. I would definitely recommend them to any Santa Barbara bride to be!
Everyone told me how fun and cute the bus was! They were great to work with and very accommodating, i would definitely recommend them!
Darrin and Sierra at Jump on the School Bus are downright awesome. We hired them to shuttle our guests up to the Santa Ynez Valley for a wine rehearsal and we also used them the d...
ay of the wedding to transport our guests from the hotel to the venue. To start, Darrin was a pleasure to work with and he was very accommodating with all of my needs. He spent time answering all of my questions and went beyond his duties to help me find the right wineries to host our rehearsal at. Sierra worked behind the scenes and on the day before the rehearsal when she realized that our timing was a bit off, she threw in an extra small bus to make a run that was unplanned (at no extra charge). These people are the real deal, their drivers are friendly and fun, and they make the whole experience more enjoyable. Our guests loved that our buses had our wedding hashtags on the side and everyone commented on how great the bus experience was overall. We feel lucky to have connected with Darrin and Sierra and we highly recommend Jump on the School Bus to couples who want to work with pleasant and reliable people for wedding transport. Thanks Darrin & Sierra!
