The desert wedding season runs from October through May. Summer weddings happen, but heat makes vehicle cooling and timing critical.
Guests often stay in rental homes spread across Palm Springs and the valley, so shuttles may need several pickup points.
Mid-century estates and hillside homes are often too tight for a coach, so minibuses and vans are common.
Minibuses run about $140 to $205 per hour and coaches $175 to $260 per hour on a five hour minimum.

Hotel or rental home pickups, ceremony, reception and late return.
