Owner,
Craig Kempkes has been in the limousine business for
7 years now, almost 5 years of that in his own business.
What
started out as a hobby; taking groups out to have fun
and celebrate their personal events, has expanded and
grown into a full service business. Craig Kempkes has
always worked in the public service business. He started
working for another company as a chauffeur working days
and weekends. Taking clients to the airport and nights
out on the town. People who know Craig, affectionately
call him "The Limo
Guy".
At
the beginning, it was taking up to 10 people in a stretch
limousine. Business needs grew and so did the demands
of the customers, they wanted more room and comfort.
Craig listened to them and worked on bettering the "professionalism"
of the business. "Give the client what they want"
is the biggest motivator for him. Always adding his
own special touches during an outing can make the "biggest"
difference. Whether it's making arrangements, reservations,
assisting with trip planning or just a friendly personal
service offered to clients during the trip.
Blue
Diamond Limousines was founded in January
2001. What started out as a straight limousine business
doing weddings, birthdays and such, Craig felt the need
expressed by clients wanting more. They wanted comfort
space, room to move around, ample space for larger groups,
a "party like" atmosphere and someone who
would "look after them and their group" while they were
out.
In
the spring of 2005, Blue
Diamond Limousines, LLC started up the
"Blue Diamond Party
Bus". After a 10 month remodeling
and over a year of additions and gadgets, the party
bus is now come full circle and is "complete".
This "Big Blue Bus"
was designed for comfort, space, originality and something
that would be attractive to any group from very young
to the golden years.
With
this in mind the bus has booked groups from sweet 16
birthdays, proms, bachelor/ette parties, anniversaries,
birthdays, sporting events, concerts, bar hops, office
parties, weddings, business trips/tours, casino trips,
shuttle service for events, church groups events and
just about anything else that has a large group.
Craig
Kempkes even went further with his bus. While limousines
are built with a seating rating for the average 125lb
person. The "Party
Bus", was designed for "Adults"
in mind. No cramped seating here!! This allows for "leg
room" which can be just as important.
With
a seating capacity of 32, Blue
Diamond Party Bus can handle just about
anything. The bus has been used by radio stations for
"trip give-aways to concerts", put on display
at wedding and prom shows. Even local businesses have
taken advantage of the large space to advertise on the
rear of the bus. Everyone who has been on the bus, has
"loved it", which is the best advertising
a person could get. Word-of-mouth has spread from the
clients of the bus and "peaks the curiosity"
of others to call and try it themselves!

Craig
took his business a step further. A lot of companies

passengers. Now having authority in the 8 surrounding
states gives the bus less restrictions for destinations.
