About Oakley's Coaches
Oakley's Coaches is a family coach business that has moved groups around Hobart and southern Tasmania for decades. Owner Stephen Oakley takes most bookings himself, so the person quoting your trip is the person who knows the fleet and the roads. For weddings, the coaches shuttle guests from accommodation to the ceremony, on to the reception and home again at the end of the night, which keeps cars off the venue and everyone arriving together. The same service covers birthday party transport, private event shuttles, conference runs and corporate outings, and the team regularly builds custom itineraries such as progressive dinners and winery days in the Huon Valley. The main fleet is made up of 57-seat touring coaches, and a 22-seater and a 12-seater are available when the group is smaller. Every vehicle is air-conditioned and fitted with seat belts, and every driver is fully licensed and police-checked, with clearance to work with vulnerable people. Vehicles follow a regular maintenance programme to cut the risk of breakdowns on the day. Booking starts with the basics: where you are being collected, where you are going, whether the driver waits, how many are travelling and the date. Oakley's then comes back with a price and options, and a deposit locks in the date. Busy periods such as wedding season fill early, though short-notice requests are taken when a coach is free. Drinking on board is restricted by law, so hens and bucks groups should talk it through when booking.

Frequently asked questions
Can Oakley's Coaches move our wedding guests between the ceremony and the reception?
Yes. Wedding guest transport is a core part of the work – the coaches collect guests from their accommodation, run them between ceremony and reception venues and bring them back at the end of the night.
How many people fit on an Oakley's coach?
Most of the fleet is 57-seat touring coaches. For smaller groups there is a 22-seater and a 12-seater, so the vehicle can be matched to the number travelling.
Can we plan a progressive dinner or winery day with several stops?
Yes. Oakley's designs custom itineraries for private groups, including progressive dinners, wine tours such as a Huon Valley tasting day and sightseeing trips with multiple stops.
Are the coaches air-conditioned and fitted with seat belts?
Yes. Every coach in the fleet is air-conditioned and seat-belted, and all vehicles are kept on a strict maintenance schedule to minimise the chance of a breakdown.
Can a hens or bucks group drink on the bus?
Drinking on buses is covered by strict public drinking rules, so Oakley's asks hens and bucks groups to discuss it when booking rather than assume alcohol is allowed on board.
