A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Crowne Plaza Silicon Valley-Union City
If you are looking for a venue that can host a large guest list while providing on-site accommodations, the Crowne Plaza Silicon Valley-Union City is the premier choice in the area. Located on Union City Boulevard, this hotel boasts over 14,000 square feet of event space, including a grand ballroom that can comfortably seat hundreds of guests for a reception. It is a favorite for multicultural weddings due to its capacity and flexibility.
For wedding planners, the logistics here are a dream, but moving guests from the airport to the hotel requires coordination. We frequently provide airport transfer shuttles from Oakland International Airport (OAK) or San Francisco International (SFO) directly to the Crowne Plaza. By booking a sleek minibus or a full-sized motorcoach, you ensure that out-of-town guests are greeted professionally and whisked away to their rooms without the stress of navigating the Bay Area transit systems. Additionally, if the ceremony is held at a local place of worship and the reception is back at the hotel, our shuttles run continuous loops to ensure a smooth transition between vows and toasts.
Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park
For couples seeking a rustic, natural backdrop for their wedding photos or an outdoor ceremony, Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park is Union City's hidden gem. Tucked away in the hills, this 1,635-acre park features beautiful creeks, wooden bridges, and miles of trails that wind through oak groves and grassy hillsides. The Meyers Garden within the park is particularly popular for wedding photography, offering a preserved 19th-century aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with modern wedding attire.
Accessing Dry Creek can be tricky for a convoy of personal vehicles, as parking can be limited during peak weekends. A Charter Bus Rental Company Union City shuttle allows the entire bridal party and the photographers to travel together. The drivers can drop the group right at the trailhead or garden entrance, wait while the photos are snapped, and have the air-conditioning running for a cool-down session before heading to the reception. The undercarriage storage on our charter buses is perfect for storing outfit changes, props, and photography equipment.
Union Landing Shopping Center
While a shopping center might not sound like a wedding destination, Union Landing is the entertainment hub of the city and an excellent resource for wedding weekends. With a Century 25 movie theater, iFLY indoor skydiving, and dozens of restaurants, it is the perfect place for guests to kill time between the ceremony and reception or for hosting a casual welcome dinner. It is located conveniently off I-880, making it an easy meeting point.
Wedding planners often utilize Union Landing for bachelor or bachelorette party start-points or rehearsal dinners. We can arrange a party bus to pick up the wedding party from their hotel, bring them to Union Landing for dinner and entertainment, and then safely transport them back. This eliminates the worry of designated drivers and keeps the group energy high. Whether it’s a quick stop for last-minute supplies or a planned group meal, the drivers know exactly where to drop off to minimize walking distance in this massive complex.
Charles F. Kennedy Park
Located in the heart of the city, Charles F. Kennedy Park is a versatile space often used for casual post-wedding brunches or family gatherings before the big day. The park features a recognizable amphitheater, picnic areas, and beautifully manicured gardens. It provides a relaxed atmosphere where families from both sides of the aisle can mingle and get to know one another before the formal events begin.
Transporting elderly relatives or large families to the park is effortless with a minibus rental. We can provide door-to-door service from local hotels directly to the picnic areas. Our buses are designed with comfort in mind, offering ample legroom and easy boarding, which is essential for multi-generational gatherings. Instead of guests circling the block looking for street parking on a busy Saturday, our bus handles the logistics, allowing everyone to focus on the barbecue and bonding.
Old Alvarado Park and Historic District
For a touch of history and charm, the Old Alvarado district offers a quaint setting. As one of the oldest settlements in the East Bay, it features historic buildings and the Plaza Park (Old Alvarado Park), which hosts a gazebo that is perfect for intimate ceremonies or first-look photos. The area has a distinct small-town feel that provides a stark contrast to the modern industrial vibe of other parts of the city.
Navigating the narrower streets of a historic district can be challenging for those unfamiliar with the area. The drivers can navigate a 56-passenger coach or a nimble sprinter van through these streets with ease. Booking a charter bus for a photo tour in Old Alvarado ensures that the schedule stays on track. Wedding planners know that timing is everything; relying on our punctual drivers means you won’t be waiting on a lost groomsman who took a wrong turn on Smith Street.
Union City Historical Museum
Located near the civic center, the Union City Historical Museum is a fantastic stop for guests who have downtime during the wedding weekend. It offers a deep dive into the rich cultural tapestry of the area, from the Ohlone native peoples to the industrial boom. For couples who want to give their out-of-town guests a "sense of place," arranging a group tour here is a thoughtful touch.
We can organize a "Union City Highlights" shuttle loop for your guests. Imagine a dedicated bus picking guests up from the hotel, taking them to the museum for an hour of culture, then perhaps to a local coffee shop, and finally to the venue. It turns a standard wedding trip into a mini-vacation for your attendees. The drivers handle the itinerary you set, ensuring guests are entertained and returned in plenty of time to get ready for the main event.
Masonic Home at Union City
Perched on the hillside overlooking the bay, the Masonic Home is not just a landmark; it is an architectural marvel. While primarily a residential community, the grounds and the architecture offer stunning views and a sense of grandeur. For weddings with a connection to the organization or for simply admiring the view from the surrounding public areas, it is a noteworthy spot in Union City topography.
Getting up to the hillside areas requires a vehicle with enough power and a driver with the skill to handle the grade smoothly. Our modern fleet of charter buses is maintained to the highest standards of comfort and performance. Whether you are shuttling guests to a nearby hillside venue or just taking a scenic drive to show off the views of the San Francisco Bay, our buses provide a smooth, comfortable ride, allowing guests to take photos through panoramic windows without worrying about the drive up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Union City Wedding Transportation
How far in advance should I book a wedding shuttle in Union City?
We recommend booking your wedding transportation as soon as you have your venue and date secured, ideally 6 to 9 months in advance. Union City and the surrounding Bay Area are busy locations for events, and availability can tighten during peak wedding seasons (spring and fall). Booking early ensures you get the specific bus type and amenities you desire.
Can we drink alcohol on the charter bus?
Yes, in most cases, you can consume alcohol on our party buses and charter buses, provided that all passengers are of legal drinking age (21+). We want your celebration to be festive! However, please let our reservation team know in advance if you plan to have alcohol on board so we can ensure the proper policies and deposits are in place. Glass bottles are typically discouraged for safety reasons.

Absolutely. We serve the entire Bay Area. Whether you have guests staying in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, or Fremont, we can arrange shuttles to bring them to your Union City venue.
