Stephen Butler Coaches
Family-run luxury coach and minibus hire, established 1979
Coaches and minibuses moving guests from town to church to venue and home at the end of the night. For rural Irish venues this is not a nice-to-have. It is the difference between a full dance floor and an early night.

Common questions
Most Irish couples spend between €400 and €1,500, which is roughly 2% of a typical €37,000 wedding budget. Prices are higher in Dublin and lower in the midlands and border counties.
About 6 months before the wedding is normal. For a Saturday in June, July or August, book earlier. The most in-demand suppliers in Ireland are gone 18 months out for peak dates. Off-peak and midweek dates are far easier.
Get everything in writing and compare like with like. How many seats per coach and how many runs are included? What time is the last run home? Ask each supplier the same set of questions and put the answers side by side. The cheapest quote is often the one with the most stripped out of it.
No, and it is free for suppliers too. There is no listing fee, no commission and no paid placement. Ranking comes from the enquiries and reviews couples actually generate, so nobody can buy their way above a better supplier.
