Premier transportation was absolutely fantastic and extremely professional. We hired them for our wedding in late October and they were prompt and accommodating with anything and e...
verything we needed and asked for. Our guests raved over the busses too! Could not recommend them more.
Not Dependable or professional. Look elsewhere for your wedding transportation needs!
We hired Premiere Transportation for our daughter’s wedding, reserving two 40-passenger shutt...
les and one 20-passenger shuttle to transport our guests. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing from start to finish.
First, none of the shuttles had signs or any indication that they were part of our wedding transportation. Guests were understandably confused and hesitant to board. When they asked the drivers, the drivers did not even know the name of the wedding—they only knew their destinations. For a wedding service of this scale, that lack of organization is unacceptable.
We had spent a great deal of time carefully planning the shuttle schedules and timing with Premiere. Despite that, one of the 40-passenger shuttles struck the side of a garage—an hour away—before even beginning its pickup route. Premiere never notified us of this issue. As a result, 40 of our guests were left stranded, scrambling for Ubers, getting on other wedding shuttles, or driving themselves to the venue. Many of them arrived more than 20 minutes late, which delayed the ceremony, disrupted the cocktail hour, and affected the entire flow of the evening.
Beyond the logistical problems, the stress and anxiety this caused for the bride and her parents on such an important day was inexcusable. When we contacted Premiere after the wedding to discuss the situation, their response was disappointing. They only offered a small refund and claimed that customers must specifically request signage for their wedding shuttles—something that should be standard for a company providing wedding transportation.
We spent over $6,000 on this service and expected professionalism and reliability. Premiere Transportation failed to deliver on both. I would strongly caution other couples to look elsewhere for their wedding transportation needs.
At the end of the day, all of our guests got home safely and on time, which is the most important thing — and I do want to highlight that the buses were very clean and punctual thr...
oughout the day, which we appreciated.
That said, if I had to do it over again, I don’t think I would hire this transportation company. We had a short engagement and limited options in our area — only three transportation companies serviced our venue, and the other two were already booked by the time we began planning. So we went with Premiere.
My two biggest frustrations were:
1. Itinerary Planning: We paid an additional fee for Premiere to create the transportation itineraries, but instead, I found myself receiving repeated calls in the weeks leading up to the wedding to collaboratively build them. I had already sent over all the key details — addresses, guest counts, and timelines — and had expected them to take it from there, especially given the extra fee.
2. Onsite Coordination: We also paid for an onsite logistics coordinator, but unfortunately, this person acted more as a driver than a true coordinator. Rather than greeting guests or providing guidance on shuttle routes, they were unavailable during key transition times, which led to some confusion late in the evening.
Additionally, a number of guests mentioned that the drivers themselves seemed somewhat scattered. One even told passengers she wasn’t sure where she was going, which naturally caused some concern.
While I’m thankful everything ran on time and the vehicles themselves were in great condition, I don’t feel the service lived up to the expectations set — especially considering the added fees for coordination and planning. I’d recommend getting very clear details up front on what’s included if you choose to work with this company.
I didn't actually get to see the bus or the driver on my wedding day, but it's a testament to how good they are that they got everyone there punctually for the ceremony, and were t...
here to shuttle people back at exactly when they were scheduled to that night (2 separate times)! I had previously been on one of their busses for a trip to NYC, and that's how I knew that this business is exceptional at what they do. Thank you for being professional, and your care is clear in how kind and sharp your drivers are.
Easy to work with, flexible with what I needed (had to change some things around a week before the wedding and they were extremely accommodating) and overall great transportation!
Premiere transportation was awesome and easy to work with. We had a few transport changes, one of which was last minute, and they were super flexible and accommodating. Highly reco...

or.
Throughout the planning process for one of my couples I was in constant communication with them and after every conversation I felt like they were always eager to help. They made me feel like they were prioritizing my couple and that I wasn't waisting their time. When it came to the week of the wedding they made sure to double confirm the itinerary, send driver information and were even able to make last minute changes. On wedding day I received constant notifications from the drivers about when they had arrived to the pick up locations, and when they were on their way to the venue. It not only made me feel confident that guests were being picked up but it made my couple feel at ease that their guests were coming to their wedding. The drivers on wedding day were also a pleasure to work with.

Working closely with Premiere Transportation, we were able to tailor a schedule that perfectly suited our needs. They were responsive and accommodating, taking the time to understand our requirements and ensure a smooth transportation flow. Their flexibility and willingness to work with us to create a personalized transportation plan added an extra level of convenience and peace of mind.
The coaches provided by Premiere Transportation were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Our guests had a pleasant experience riding in them, enjoying a smooth and enjoyable journey to our wedding venue. Our drivers were were courteous, friendly, and ensured the safety of our guests throughout the entire journey. We absolutely recommend Premiere.
Safe reliable transport for our wedding guests to and from the venue! They were on time, respectful, professional, and overall great.
I would highly recommend! We used Premiere Transportation to pick up our guests from our main hotel and take them to our wedding ceremony/reception site. In addition, they also d...
id a 3-hour long shuttle service for our guests to get back to the hotels (note: our hotels were located across from each other, however, we didn't want guests to try crossing the busy road that separated them at night). They left on schedule and insured that everyone got back to the hotels. I received zero complaints from anyone related to their service & schedule. Premiere insured that this part of the wedding planning and wedding day was 100% hassle and stress free.
Initial scheduling was easy. When I needed to make changes to the pick-up times/locations, they were very accommodating and sent me a confirmation with the revised schedule. For the service that we received, the price was a great value.

wanted everyone to enjoy themselves! The drivers and buses did rounds late into the night and stuck around until our last guests were transported to their hotels. Some of our guests missed the shuttle to the wedding and Premiere went back and got them quickly. Work with Janis if possible - she was so helpful in creating our schedule which was something I was worried about!

e. The driving was deemed unsafe by every person on the bus, she was asked to slow down multiple times. 2 of our centerpieces broke on the ride, one of the members of our bridal party got sick on the way due to the hectic driving. I called to make a complaint about the unsafe driving and the computer rated her safety a 92/100....I would hate to see what a failing score was! However, the owner refunded us a small portion for our unpleasant trip & tried to make things right and was very apologetic. So although our ride wasn’t what we had in mind, the customer service was great.
A very professional company. Our driver was responsible, safe, on-time, and also fun. Competitive price as well!

, they arrived on time and delivered at the right times. The charter buses themselves were really nice quality, leather seats and blue mood lighting.
The only thing was that one of the drivers was a little confused when he made a local pickup and turned wide into the driveway knocking over a trash can, but he could've gone the other way, so he should've called to ask if there were alternate routes. Overall, I would recommend Premiere for this service!

We arranged our Limo Bus with Premiere almost a year in advance. I received a phone call a few days prior to the wedding confirming all of the details/stops for the day of. The n...
ext day (2 days before the wedding) I received a call telling me that the Limo Bus I reserved had broken down and would not be available. They offered me a 35 passenger COACH bus as a replacement for the same price. This was unacceptable for us and I told the company that a comparable replacement needed to be provided. Within a VERY stressful half hour a Limo Bus exactly like we reserved was available thru a partner company. In the end, everything worked out and the Limo Bus was amazing but the stress that this caused was unnecessary since a comparable option was available. We felt that Premiere tried to offer a replacement to us that was cheaper for them (since the coach bus would be sitting on their lot) but did not care about the stress it caused us. It was shocking to see how quickly they had a REAL replacement. Given that things worked out I would recommend them with hesitation. If something should go wrong- stand up for yourself because there is probably a better option they are trying not to offer you!

Thank you Premiere for helping us create the perfect day for us and our guests!

tably. The guys were picked up and dropped off first, then the ladies- and it was great for traveling as I could stand in the back and not get my dress too wrinkled before its big debut! Much easier than ducking into a limo; and the leather seats were very comfortable. With 15 people in the bridal party, we could all travel together to the reception, had extra room, and could drink champagne safely with the built in tables and cup holders – it was perfect!

our guests really appreciated it. For our bridal party we booked the stretch Excursion, which was a little difficult for my mom to get in and out of, and was decorated a little strangely...but those would be my only complaints for this company! Jon was our driver and he was beyond helpful! He acted as our lookout for when we could sneak into the church without being seen, helped me fix my dress and veil when I got out of the car, and served us lots of champagne and water. If you can, ask for Jon!
