We hired Doherty’s Garage to shuttle our guests from our hotel block in Hull to our venue in Cohasset, and they were wonderful to work with. The planning process was simple and str...
ess-free, communication was easy, and our driver arrived right on time for each trip. We especially appreciated that the driver had one of our guests check in with us at the end of the night to make sure no one was left behind after the after-party.
All of our guests were transported safely, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our day. Thank you, Doherty’s Garage!

We recently used Dohertys as transportation for our guests between the hotel and our wedding venue. Getting a quote and setting up the timing/shuttle runs with Jessica was very eas...
y! Everyone was super responsive and helpful answering questions. The bus arrived promptly and was nicely heated. The guests said the driver was great and loved his music selections! Everyone loved the nostalgia of a school bus. We had some elderly folks getting off the bus, but had no problems with getting them up and down the steps - just took their time. Would highly recommend using as your transportation as they were very responsibly priced compared to other options!

night going. We traveled from Beverly, MA to our after party in Salem, MA. While it wasn't a huge distance, Doherty's was still prompt in their arrival and departure times (though they did wait for me and my husband to change into more comfortable party clothes). Scheduling was done over a mix of the phone and email subject to office hours.
