Wedding Planners… let us take your clients’ guests from the hotel to the church or ceremony location in super luxurious coaches. Evening transfers are available ensuring guests timely and safe departures.

Flawless coach transportation for wedding guests will ensure a relaxed day for all, knowing that everyone will arrive safely by us… the professionals.

I have worked with Pierce Kavanagh Coaches on weddings and events since 2011. As a wedding planner transport can be one of the most challenging areas to get right. With multicultural guests and multi-venue events, it’s essential to get it right. Guests will always remember a bad experience with transport. Pierce’s drivers are always courteous, on time and beyond helpful. The coaches are immaculate and Caoimhe’s logistical knowledge is second to none. I would not plan a wedding requiring coach transport without them.

Tara Fay, MD of Xena Productions Bespoke Events

As a wedding planner our clients demand the highest level from all the suppliers that are recommended by us. We have been using Pierce Kavanagh Coaches for the last 10 years and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Caoimhe is our contact and her professionalism and knowledge is second to none. The coaches are spotless and the drivers are all so friendly and welcoming. We only work with the best and without doubt Pierce Kavanagh Coaches is the best.

Journeys may take longer than predicted and in those circumstances the company will not be liable for any loss or inconvenience suffered by the hirer as a result.

The Hirer undertakes to abide by all statutory requirements and regulations which may in any way affect the journey in question and especially the regulations in respect of Driver’s Hours. Drivers are familiar with these regulations and whilst they will conform with reasonable requests of passengers (as to the reasonableness of which the driver alone shall be the judge) they will as far as circumstances permit, depart from the destination or from intermediate stopping places at times agreed beforehand (or specified by the driver) and to ensure compliance with the regulations will on no account wait for members of the party who may have failed to join the vehicle at the time appointed.
