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". 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!
