Downtown Des Moines venues like the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden (909 Robert D Ray Dr, Des Moines, IA 50309) and The Temple for Performing Arts (1011 Locust St, Des Moines, IA 50309) sit in a part of the city where street parking is metered, limited, and frankly not worth the stress on your wedding day.

Whether your bachelorette group is hitting cocktail bars in Ankeny's growing downtown scene or making the run south on I-35 into Des Moines for a night out, one party bus keeps everyone together, on schedule, and having the time of their lives.

Keeping the Whole Wedding Weekend on Schedule—From Rehearsal Dinner to Last Hotel Drop-Off
Keeping a full wedding weekend running on time takes more than a great timeline—it takes transportation that shows up when it is supposed to. Through Busrentalankeny.com, you can book buses for every leg of your weekend: rehearsal dinner shuttles from the hotel block to your venue, ceremony-day pickups, reception returns, and even a morning-after brunch run. Jester Park Lodge is a stunning setting but sits along winding NW Jester Park Drive near Saylorville Lake—the kind of road where guests in rideshares get turned around and late.
From April 1 through October 31, Jester Park's posted hours are 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., so your bus gets everyone out before the park's scheduled closing time. One bus keeps everyone on the same route and the same clock. Compare packages for single trips, round trips, and full multi-day wedding weekends through the network.

Choosing the Right Bus Size for Your Ankeny Wedding Guest List
Choosing the right bus size is one of the most important decisions in your wedding transportation plan—and through Busrentalankeny.com, you can compare every option side by side! A sprinter van handles a bridal party of up to 14 with ease and fits neatly into any hotel loading lane. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the sweet spot for mid-size guest shuttles between your Ankeny hotel block and a Polk County venue.
Jester Park Lodge accommodates up to 258 guests, so a full-size motorcoach can keep a large wedding party together instead of splitting arrivals across carpools. A full 56-passenger motorcoach moves the largest guest lists in one trip, with reclining seats, overhead storage, climate control, and undercarriage luggage bays for weekend bags. Not sure which size fits your headcount?

The earlier you compare and lock in your date, the better your options and the better your price!
Yes! Multi-stop hotel loops are one of the most common wedding shuttle setups booked through the network. A bus can run a clean loop from the Hilton Garden Inn Des Moines/Ankeny to the Hampton Inn Des Moines/Ankeny and on to your venue.
List your pickup stops when you request your quote and the pricing will reflect the full route.
Absolutely—and through Busrentalankeny.com, you can compare both in one search! Many couples book a party bus or sprinter van for the bridal party and a separate minibus or charter bus for guest shuttles, running on different timing. Because the network includes multiple vehicle types from multiple providers, you can find the right combination for your wedding day without calling a single company twice.
Call 515-329-2910 to work through the details!
Yes! Rural and park venues like Jester Park Lodge (11121 NW Jester Park Dr, Granger, IA 50109) on Saylorville Lake are exactly where a charter bus earns its keep. Winding rural roads and limited parking make rideshares unreliable and carpools chaotic.
A bus keeps your entire guest list on one route, on one schedule, with no one getting lost on NW Jester Park Drive after dark. Just mention the venue when you request your quote so the right vehicle and staging plan can be confirmed!
Yes! Des Moines International Airport (DSM) (5800 Fleur Dr, Des Moines, IA 50321) is approximately 20–25 miles south of Ankeny via I-35—about 25–35 minutes depending on traffic. A charter bus or minibus from the network can pick up out-of-town guests at DSM on arrival day and return them after the wedding weekend, keeping your guests comfortable and your timeline intact.
Mention the airport run when you request your quote and the full itinerary will be priced together!
Vehicle colors vary by operator and availability, but white, black, and silver buses are commonly available through the network—great for matching your wedding palette or getting that clean, elegant look for photos. If a specific color matters to you, mention it when you fill out your quote form or call 515-329-2910. A live agent can help confirm what is available for your date and connect you with the right vehicle from the network!
