Lake Forest party bus rental

A Lake Forest party bus is mostly about two things: prom season for Lake Forest High School, Lake Forest Academy and Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart, and weddings at the Deer Path Inn. For a night out, downtown Chicago is about 40 minutes away, and the Hummer seats 18 while the buses take 25 or 35.

From Lake Forest to the city and back

  1. Check the driveway

    Tell us if the driveway can take a bus; if not, the group meets at the street.

  2. Start at Market Square

    The 1916 square downtown, by the Union Pacific North station, is the local first stop.

  3. Down to Chicago

    The Loop is about 40 minutes south without traffic, so the drive is part of the night.

  4. Dinner, a show or a game

    The chauffeur waits nearby while the group is inside, then moves on to the next stop.

  5. Back north

    Everyone is dropped at home in one run, however late it gets.

Lake Forest Party Bus

Lake Forest party bus rides for proms and weddings

Lake Forest has three high schools with their own proms: the public Lake Forest High School, Lake Forest Academy, a boarding and day school founded in 1857, and Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart, a Catholic school for girls. Boarding students may not have a parent nearby to drive, which makes a booked ride with a set pickup and drop-off simpler for everyone.

The Deer Path Inn on East Illinois Road has 4,500 square feet of event space for weddings, and Glen Rowan House on Sheridan Road hosts tented events on its grounds. A party bus for 35 moves the guest list between the inn, the ceremony and the reception. Ravinia in Highland Park is a short drive south for summer concerts, and O'Hare is about 35 minutes away.

  • Proms for three Lake Forest schools
  • Deer Path Inn and Glen Rowan House weddings
  • About 40 minutes to the Loop
  • The Hummer for 18, buses for 25 or 35

24/7FAQ

Lake Forest Party Bus: questions

Still deciding? Call (331) 356-3856 any hour, or start a booking to see your options.

Which Lake Forest schools do you drive for prom?

Lake Forest High School, Lake Forest Academy and Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart, plus schools in the towns nearby. We pick up at home or on campus and drop off at the dance.

Can a party bus bring wedding guests to the Deer Path Inn?

Yes. The bus collects guests from their hotels or the inn, runs to the ceremony and the reception, and takes everyone back at the end, booked by the hour.

Can you collect Lake Forest Academy boarding students?

Yes, at the campus pickup point the school allows. Send the time and the place when you book, and the chauffeur meets the students there.

How long is the trip from Lake Forest to downtown Chicago?

About 40 minutes to the Loop without traffic, and about 35 to O'Hare.

Will a party bus fit in our driveway?

Long or narrow driveways may not suit a full-size bus. Tell us when you book; the group can board at the street, or the Hummer or a Sprinter can come to the door.
