F.A.D.D.s Party Bus

Booked F.A.D.D.‘s for a wedding shuttle and they were great to deal with. Kind and considerate, a multitude of options, very helpful and informative in terms of orchestrating the small details. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone for a wide variety of events.

I had been wanting to try out the Party Bus forever, and my 25^th birthday seemed like the perfect opportunity.
The first time I mentioned it to my boyfriend, without knowing how much the party bus cost, he immediately said, «too expensive.» Same response out of my mother. My dad’s response — «you only turn 25 once, I say go for it.» Thanks, dad!
So I did what anyone in their twenties would do: when someone tells you no, you do it anyway. And it was worth every penny I spent.
I didn’t tell any of my friends what we were doing and told them to show up at my place at 9:30pm sharp for a 10:00pm departure.
The driver showed up on time with the Fantasy bus and the whole crew was surprised.
WE. HAD. THE. TIME. OF. OUR. LIVES. My friends and I still talk about that night. So much that when we were driving downtown, I didn’t even want to go into the bars but just dance the night away in the bus.
I cannot speak highly enough of the company — how easy they were to work with and how the DJ and driver were super accommodating driving our asses around town. The driver even dropped off some of my friends by their house on our way back — just to ensure everyone who needed a sober ride definitely had one.
I’m sure I’ll be back for my 30^th!

We hired 3 «buses» for a work event. Here is the skinny:
Pros
the driver’s showed up early
they were professional
they let us DJ the bus via iPhone
I rode on the trolley which also had coolers and a pole.
Cons
The trolley bus was scary for me but that’s not F.A.D.D.s fault. The trolley has open seating without seat belts and big beautiful windows so you can see all the semis flying toward you on i-​40 EEK!

When my husband wanted to have a party bus for his 40^th Birthday party, I thought he completely lost his mind. I have always seen these buses rolling around downtown with a load of inebriated fools and wondered what the attraction was. It wasn’t until I started researching… man these buses were cool! Initially I was most interested in the ice-​themed «Cool Bus» until our party steadily grew bigger and we upgraded to the «Glow Bus». A bus with bright neon and black lights, full of all of the accoutrements one needs for a night of drinking and partying. Suddenly, we were the drunken fools riding around downtown yelling «PARTY BUS!» Wait, what?
That’s right! This company knows how to help you get your Party on! It was such a great time. Forget that they have a disclaimer that they may not have all of the songs that you would want to hear… they have over 75,000! And the DJ really knows how to keep your party going! I cannot imagine what these drivers and DJs have seen while under their employment with FADDs… I do certainly know however that anyone from our party shouldn’t be running for a political office anytime soon!
The bus itself was a great experience… well decorated, plenty of room to store personal items and it comes with coolers already stocked with ice. A platform centers the bus for drink central (we had our wonderful friend and drink aficionado bar tend) He was passing out those French 75s like they were bottles of water! There was plenty of chairs to sit alongside the bus and the dance floor was adorned with two dance poles that shockingly enough probably have some stories to tell as well.
Booking the bus was super easy… the gal that helped arrange this was really friendly, professional and timely with getting back to me. We initially booked the bus for 3 hours. When we were heading back to our drop off point, my super inebriated husband, who was having the time of his life dancing nearly naked with all of his guy friends around the stripper poles gave a shout out to the driver and DJ for an extra hour… they took the time to verify with ME that it was okay. I thought that was super cool because that last hour isn’t cheap… but It was so worth it!
This experience will go down as one of the best, but I’ve already been forewarned that it will be a few years before we can partay like it’s 2012 again!

Fadd’s party bus is an unexpected fun party experience for a group.
Our group of friends enjoyed their services on the glow bus for a joint 40^th birthday party for my husband and a dear friend. I have to say, we had an absolute blast!
The DJ accommodated our requests and kept us all dancing so much, we didn’t get off the bus our entire allocated ride, and we even extended the trip another hour.
There are seats along a central aisle, with dance poles and lighted rails strategically placed to help you navigate the bus while moving. What they really help with is getting even the most straight laced of our crowd to show off their dirty dancing moves. A well stocked bar and tasty cocktails we brought along also helped, I am sure.
The company provides coolers, and ice, trash bags, a bathroom aboard, after party clean up, and discretion about your embarrassing party fouls. If those stripper poles could only talk…
Well worth the price!

A few friends of mine decided to celebrate a joint 40^th birthday with the «Glow Bus».
Having never experienced a «party bus», I was a little apprehensive. We started the evening in the private room at Germantown Café and when we finished, the party bus was there to take us away. Outside stood a classic school bus that had been painted black. On the inside was a trippy light-​up party. Everything had glowing lights, the «oh shit» handles, the floors, the brass poles (those poles would come in handy later on…)
The DJ was fun, great tunes from the 80’s and 90’s were pumping, we were all having a blast… and then something unfortunate happened.
I was asked to be the bartender on the trip, so I reached back into my catalog of libations and pulled out the French 75 from the 20’s, a favorite of the Lost Generation:
5 parts dry gin
1 part simple syrup
1 part lemon juice
Topped with champagne
Cherry garnish
Seems harmless, right? Well, the reason it is called the French 75, is because it hits you like a WWI 75 MM cannon. And let me tell you brothers and sisters, it did.
I had a gallon of booze and was pouring for hours. At some point, I vaguely remember it became a fantastic idea for me to take off my sportcoat and shirts and perform a pole dance bare chested. There were probably other lewd and lascivious acts that were performed that I have thankfully blocked out.
One of my friends didn’t even make it into his house that night, he just kind of slept on the lawn and had an impressive auto-​detailing bill after defiling his interior. Myself, I haven’t been that hungover since college and lost most of the following day (and got yelled at repeatedly by the wife). The good news is that my pants were stuffed with singles. So there’s that.
So, the moral here is DON’T DRINK FRENCH 75’s! And party buses are fun.

My fiancée and I used the FADDs for a combined bachelor/​bachelorette party the night before our wedding and I have to admit they did a superb job. Even with all the traffic of getting to the Opryland hotel on a Friday night just before Christmas, they arrived on time and ready for us to have a great night.
When we embarked, the driver asked where I wanted to go and the DJ asked what music I wanted to hear. The DJ did a superb job of keeping us on the dance floor and the driver did a great job of driving us around.
We ended up staying on the bus pretty much the whole night, because we were having so much fun and it was so much cheaper for us to be on the bus drinking our own alcohol vice going to a club (we are bunch of 30-​something Marines whose livers, like us, are well-​seasoned).

OK. I’ll admit. It is definitely obnoxious to crawl aboard a bus or trolley that is outfitted with speakers, mirror balls, colored lights, sound system, poles for holding on (read: dirty dancing), and a stocked cooler and drive around the town like you are still 21 when you are really 30.
However, the Fadds Party Trolley is pretty fun. Since the name of the company is Friends Against Drunk Drivers, it’s also in the name of safety, which is alone enough of an excuse to call all of the obnoxious behavior a wise decision.
I learned that the trolley is $ 120/​hour, anywhere you want to go. You schedule drop offs and pick ups in advance so you don’t have to pay for it while it’s waiting. Really, for a party or party hopping, it’s brilliantly obnoxious. I’d recommend it.
