Meet Sierra & Darin of Jump On The Schoolbus,
your wedding shuttle service from Santa Barbara:
“Hi, we’re Sierra and Darin! Back in 2011, we dreamed up Jump On The School Bus with the idea of bringing something totally different to Santa Barbara — and what began as a joke quickly turned into our life’s work. Since then, our buses have carried thousands of wedding guests, bridal parties, and happy couples, and we still get a thrill out of seeing the joy on everyone’s faces as they hop on board.
For us, it’s about more than just transportation — it’s about creating an experience that’s safe, reliable, and filled with good vibes. Weddings are milestones, and we feel honored to be part of so many each year. Whether you’re planning a grand vineyard wedding or an intimate coastal celebration, we’ll make sure your transportation is seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable."
