Lamers Bus Lines

r our large wedding party and their plus ones. They also didn't have an issue with us only having the bus for 2-3 hours.

te in picking up our guests. We booked them to do two rounds of transport to the ceremony/reception site and return at the end of the night. At 2 PM when the first bus was supposed to arrive with all of our friends and close family (purposely planned this way so we could get pictures before), my husband got a call from the bus driver that she hadn't even gotten to the first of two hotels yet. The driver asked my husband to text her the details that were so clearly outlined in the contract. Apparently, the driver had gone to the wrong hotel, saw a wedding party taking pictures which she assumed was us, and then sat there for 40 minutes before realizing it was not us since we had hired them to pick up guests, and the wedding party was already at the venue. And then, while he should have been relaxing before the ceremony, my husband had to help call all of our confused friends and family to explain. Our guests who did drive and arrive for the original ceremony time had to sit in the 81-degree heat for 45 minutes waiting for the bus with a majority of our guests to arrive before we could start the ceremony. Others ended up driving or ubering. Our wedding started 40-45 minutes late and then all subsequent events timelines were delayed because of this. The manager of the Milwaukee branch has also not been pleasant to work with. I've had friends book with Lamers recently who have shared equal displeasure, so I know this is not a one-off. She insists they did nothing wrong (even though they literally went to the wrong hotel) and has offered no apology for the mixup or partial refund for not following the contract as outlined. Please do not book with the Milwaukee branch so you don't have to deal with this sort of stress on your big day.

he drivers were all very nice and followed the schedule exactly how we wished. The team at Lamers was very responsive to emails and making changes and adjustments to our reservations as we needed it. They were very reasonably priced compared to competitors and the busses were clean and nice.

f our wedding! Our driver was on time and very easy going. We also found their prices very reasonable. We'd highly recommend working with Lamers for your wedding transportation needs.

ore affordable than competitors in the area. We were able to shuttle one of the buses on the way back to make sure we had enough transportation for everyone. We recommend!

d the 24-passenger mini-coach, which was perfect for our 100ish guest count.

be good - they were very responsive to emails. Overall, a great experience!

vice. The driver was really friendly, timely and professional. We were extremely pleased with them and would recommend them for any shuttle needs!

r, whose name I think was Ina, was EXCEPTIONAL!!! She was early throughout the day, which was great since we didn't want anyone sweating through their attire, and such a wonderful personality. Definitely would recommend using Lamer's!

ses to shuttle our guest to and from our venue and hotels. They were great and the drives we had were fantastic. One even stayed late so we could party a little longer on the dance floor! Thank you so much Lamers. If we or any of our friends ever need transportation services again will make sure to call you!

n style from our ceremony to reception!

prior to the wedding. However, I did not get to meet the shuttle driver as I was at the venue really early and had a ride back to the hotel. But, my contact said he was there on time and did a very good job. The best part came AFTER the wedding when all of my guests told me how great he was. People let me know that he was funny and interactive, accommodating, and very polite. I would use Lamers Bus again.

rea. The bus driver was on time and courteous. The only part I didn't like was that I was not assigned a driver (I wanted that person's number in case of emergencies) until the day before my wedding. That made me nervous, but it all turned out ok. Would recommend for anyone looking for more reasonably prices (not glamorous) transportation.

and provided a coach bus of some sort. Though Lamers is a bit more costly than a couple of the other companies we looked at, we definitely got what we paid for and more. They provided a coach mini-bus, which comfortably fit the 20 people we had on the bus. Our driver (Dennis) was SO nice and knew exactly where he was going, even though our first location was off the beaten path a bit. Our driver showed up early to our ceremony location (even though WE were running late!) and got us to our reception with time to spare. Overall, very very happy we went with Lamers!!

s horrendous. We almost never received responses to our emails or phone calls, but had to instead repeatedly call back and try and get in touch with the representative, Robert Welke. Then we paid ahead of time for three buses, but ended up canceling one ~1 month before the wedding. We were told that we would receive a reimbursement, but to this day have still not received the reimbursement despite multiple phone calls and emails. I have been appalled by their service and would recommend avoiding this company. It was not worth the amount of work and stress they created.

e perfect solution!

cant amount of money for a transportation service months in advance you expect to get the value you paid for. I would not recommend for any transportation need.

anteed to get our requests (we wanted the wooden seats as opposed to the coach seats), and we didn't find out until 1-2 weeks in advance even though payment in full is due upon booking. The staff was very responsive and helpful otherwise and the driver was great.

oper planning for dinner (and despite us paying for his time while gone). In addition, he decided to walk right into our reception and interrupt me (the bride) while talking to guests to tell me he needed to leave...all of this despite having provided a day of contact and phone number for all questions/concerns. I was very disappointed in both the day of service and the main office communication. When trying to determine adjustments to scheduling closer to the event date, they started charging us more than the original quote for the original services...claiming they did not accurately bill the original service. We fully expected to pay more for additional requests and time, but when they started charging us more for what we had already paid for it became ridiculous! Don't hire them...it's not worth it.

provided just that. We hit a detour on the way to our reception site and the bus driver got us to our destination without a hitch.

es plus most of their significant others/husbands/wives on the bus and it was SO MUCH FUN! They were even able to pack the cooler with ice and our drinks and had it available right away. Our driver was so great and made sure to help me off the bus with my big wedding gown on. This is definitely the way to go! So much easier than trying to get in and out of a limo when you're wearing such a big dress!!

n from them. I was told I would receive information in the mail 2 weeks before my wedding that would plan pick-up times for the shuttle to 3 different hotels. They never sent the information. I called a week before my wedding and the person said "Here is a note to send that information, looks like we never sent it". They did pick up the guests at the 3 different hotels, and bring them to the wedding as planned. The problem came in at the end of the night. after the wedding party had been celebrating all evening, the shuttle left 45 minutes early, without the bride, groom, and entire wedding party. The driver never came back to pick us up, even though my contract was stated it would shuttle guests until midnight. There was no number to call to ask him to come get us. The wedding party, bride and groom had to get rides from other people to our hotel. WORST SERVICE EVER! I complained the next day about how dissatisfied I was with the company, and they would only offer me a 25% refund, which in my opinion is complete BS. DONT USE THIS COMPANY! THEY WILL LEAVE YOU stranded. Unless you want to be begging for rides at the end of the night, go with another transportation provider!

too sweet! He helped us pack our dresses into the back of the limo, since he carried the entire party to the ceremony venue where we dressed. I had given our driver a schedule a head of time, so he knew exactly where to go and was prepared. He even reminded us that if we needed to deviate from the schedule or make another stop that it was completely up to us and that multiple stops were included in our contract. He was very professional and did a great job!

it time to take us to the church and then come back after ceremony, but they didn't have a big enough vehicle.

ong the way. He was on time, flexible and provided our large bridal party (30 people) a safe way to get around town.

e ceremony from both the salon and hotel. Our driver was great and took us everywhere we asked, even though we strayed from the itinerary. We loved the old charm of the trolley and it made for some great pictures!

go with Lamers again but check on pricing for other places.

ch more comfortable than if we had crammed 20 people into a limo bus. Our driver was great and accommodating and I would not hesitate to work with them again.

ent above our expectations.

month prior to the wedding, but that was okay. Had the limo bus for about 6.5 hours. The driver was REALLY nice and patient. Had him drive to 3 different locations, but he was fine with it! No problems. Would use again if needed.

ean.

howed up right on time. Great service, easy to work with, good price. There you have it.

ice and went where we wanted and waited for us while we were finishing up at the church. Great service, wonderful memories!

r a limo to accommodate everyone. Lamers had a really great price for the service we needed and our driver was lots of fun! This is definitely a great value and a great alternative to a traditional limo.

olley on the way there as there were no side rails and their dresses slid on the benches! The driver swapped the trolley for the return trip, so we were a bit more secure, although it was warm in that trolley, especially under layers of a gown. Overall very satisfied with the service.
