A Wedding Planner's Travel Guide to Coral Springs, Florida

Planning a wedding in South Florida often brings to mind the bustling streets of Miami or the crowded beaches of Fort Lauderdale. However, savvy wedding planners and couples in the know are turning their gaze slightly northwest to the beautiful, master-planned community of Coral Springs. Known for its lush landscape, strict building codes that prevent eyesores, and a tranquil atmosphere, Coral Springs offers a sophisticated backdrop for nuptials. But with any wedding location that is slightly removed from the major metropolitan hubs, logistics become the linchpin of a successful event. How do you move 150 guests from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to a hotel in Heron Bay, and then to a ceremony venue on Sample Road, without a hitch?

At Charter Bus Rental Company Coral Springs, we have spent over 15 years mastering the art of wedding transportation in Broward County. We understand that your wedding day is a tapestry of moving parts, and transportation is the thread that holds it all together. Whether you are a professional wedding planner organizing a gala for hundreds or a couple planning an intimate gathering, this guide is designed to help you navigate the unique landscape of Coral Springs. From selecting venues that accommodate motorcoaches to understanding the traffic patterns along University Drive, we are here to ensure your journey to the altar is as smooth as the ride on one of our premium charter buses. Let us handle the driving while you focus on the "I Do's."

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Choosing the Perfect Coral Springs Wedding Venue

Coral Springs is unique because it lacks the industrial grit of some neighboring cities; instead, it is defined by covered bridges, towering trees, and immaculate golf courses. When selecting a venue, you have options that range from elegant ballrooms to artistic sanctuaries. One of the premier locations is the Country Club of Coral Springs (10800 W Sample Rd, Coral Springs, FL 33065). This venue offers a classic country club feel with sprawling greens that make for stunning sunset photos. However, parking can sometimes be tight during large events. By booking a wedding shuttle service with Charter Bus Rental Company Coral Springs, you can transport guests from a designated hotel directly to the clubhouse entrance. This adds a layer of VIP treatment for your guests, who won't have to navigate the parking lot in their formal wear.

For couples seeking a more contemporary and cultural vibe, the Coral Springs Museum of Art (2855 Coral Springs Dr, Coral Springs, FL 33065) offers a sophisticated setting surrounded by inspiring works of art. Located within the Center for the Arts complex, this venue is centrally located but can be confusing for out-of-towners to find amidst the larger civic center. A private charter bus rental ensures that your guests aren't relying on GPS to find the specific entrance. These drivers are intimately familiar with the layout of the Center for the Arts and can execute seamless drop-offs and pick-ups, ensuring your timeline remains intact. Whether you choose a ballroom or a gallery, our fleet of 56-passenger motorcoaches and stylish minibuses ensures everyone arrives together, cool, and ready to celebrate.

Seamless Airport Transfers for Out-of-Town Guests

While Coral Springs is a haven of suburban peace, it does not have its own major commercial airport. Most of your out-of-town guests will likely fly into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) or perhaps Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) if flights are cheaper. The drive from FLL to Coral Springs takes about 30 to 45 minutes via I-595 W and the Sawgrass Expressway, depending on traffic. Asking guests to rent cars or navigate expensive rideshares after a long flight can start their trip on a stressful note. This is where Charter Bus Rental Company Coral Springs steps in to elevate the guest experience.

We can organize a dedicated airport shuttle service that meets your guests at the terminal curbside. Imagine your family and friends stepping off the plane and into a climate-controlled bus with plush reclining seats and plenty of luggage storage. Instead of fighting traffic on the Sawgrass Expressway, they can relax, connect to our onboard WiFi, and catch up with other guests. We can coordinate multiple pickups based on flight arrival clusters, ensuring efficient transport to major hotels like the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs Hotel & Golf Club (11775 Heron Bay Blvd, Coral Springs, FL 33076). By centralizing arrivals, you reduce the risk of latecomers to welcome dinners and ensure everyone is settled comfortably.

Rehearsal Dinner Hotspots in The Walk

The rehearsal dinner sets the tone for the wedding weekend, and in Coral Springs, the place to be is The Walk at Coral Springs (2750 N University Dr, Coral Springs, FL 33065). This open-air lifestyle center features a variety of high-end dining options perfect for a pre-wedding celebration. A local favorite for private dining is The Cook and The Cork (9890 W Sample Rd, Coral Springs, FL 33065), known for its exceptional New American cuisine and intimate atmosphere. Because The Walk is a popular destination for locals on Friday and Saturday nights, parking can be a significant challenge. A convoy of 20 personal cars trying to find spots near the restaurant can lead to delays and frustration.

The solution is simple: a private minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Coral Springs. We can pick up your wedding party and immediate family from their hotel and drop them off right in front of the restaurant. Our compact yet luxurious minibuses are perfect for navigating the parking lanes of The Walk. After dinner, your group can enjoy a safe ride back to the hotel or perhaps a quick tour of the city lights along University Drive. With a driver at the helm, your guests can enjoy a toast or two without worrying about navigating unfamiliar roads at night. It turns a simple dinner into a cohesive, stress-free event.

Picture-Perfect Photo Ops in Coral Springs

Coral Springs is visually distinct due to its strict landscaping laws and lack of overwhelming commercial signage, making it a photographer's dream. However, some of the best photo locations are spread out. You don't want your bridal party driving their own cars to a photo shoot; you run the risk of losing a groomsman at a red light or a bridesmaid getting a flat tire. Keep the group together and the energy high with a party bus rental. A popular spot for wedding photos is the Sawgrass Nature Center & Wildlife Hospital (3000 Sportsplex Dr, Coral Springs, FL 33065), which offers rustic wooden walkways and lush, natural Florida greenery.

Another iconic location is the Coral Springs Covered Bridge, the first covered bridge in Florida, located near Wiles Road. Moving a wedding party of 12 to 20 people between the hotel, these photo locations, and the ceremony venue requires precision timing. Our buses come equipped with climate control—absolutely essential for keeping makeup fresh and tuxedos crisp in the Florida humidity. Between shots, the wedding party can retreat to the cool air of the bus, hydrate, and relax. These drivers know the best routes to avoid the school traffic around Coral Springs High or the congestion on Atlantic Boulevard, ensuring you maximize your photography time without running late for the vows.

Bachelor and Bachelorette Party Transportation

Before the ring goes on, there is usually one last big party. While Coral Springs offers a more relaxed vibe, it is perfectly situated between the nightlife of Fort Lauderdale and the upscale elegance of Boca Raton. Whether you are planning a spa day or a wild night out, Charter Bus Rental Company Coral Springs is your designated driver. For a sophisticated bachelorette party, consider a day trip to the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek (5550 NW 40th St, Coconut Creek, FL 33073), just a short drive away. We can provide a sleek sprinter van or a party bus with LED lighting and premium sound systems to get the party started the moment you leave your doorstep.

If the bachelor party involves a day on the links, we can transport the group and their golf clubs to the Eagle Trace Golf Club (1111 Eagle Trace Blvd W, Coral Springs, FL 33071). Afterward, we can shuttle the group to Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale for dinner and drinks. The comfort of your group is our top priority. By booking a private bus, you eliminate the need for rideshares and ensure that everyone stays together and arrives home safely at the end of the night. It allows the maid of honor and best man to enjoy the festivities rather than worrying about logistics and headcounts.

Accommodations and Hotel Shuttles

Coral Springs hosts several excellent hotels that serve as great bases of operation for wedding weekends. The Fort Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs Hotel & Golf Club (11775 Heron Bay Blvd, Coral Springs, FL 33076) is a top choice, located adjacent to the Heron Bay Golf Club and offering convention facilities. Another reliable option is the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Coral Springs University Dr (3701 N University Dr, Coral Springs, FL 33065), which places guests right in the heart of the city's shopping and dining district.

When you have guests staying at different hotels, coordinating transportation to the wedding venue can be a headache. Charter Bus Rental Company Coral Springs can create a custom shuttle circuit. For example, a bus can pick up guests at the La Quinta, swing by the Marriott, and then deliver everyone to the ceremony venue. We can run continuous loops throughout the evening, allowing older guests to leave early if they wish, while the younger crowd stays to dance until the venue closes. This flexibility is a huge convenience for your guests and ensures that everyone enjoys the wedding at their own pace.

Day-After Brunch and Departures

The wedding weekend often concludes with a farewell brunch. A popular local spot for this is Metro Diner (2863 N University Dr, Coral Springs, FL 33065) or perhaps a private room at Runyon's (9810 W Sample Rd, Coral Springs, FL 33065) for a more upscale goodbye. After a night of celebration, your guests will appreciate not having to drive. A charter bus can collect guests from the hotel, bring them to brunch, and then transport them directly to the airport for their flights home.

Handling luggage is seamless with our full-sized charter buses, which feature spacious undercarriage storage bays. Guests can check out of their hotels, load their suitcases onto the bus, enjoy a relaxing brunch, and then head straight to FLL or PBI airports. It’s the perfect, stress-free ending to a memorable weekend. Our team monitors traffic patterns on the Sawgrass Expressway to ensure that we allocate enough travel time for airport drop-offs, so your guests never have to rush.
