Renee's Limousines was very easy to work with to get everything figured out ahead of our wedding day. They were very responsive and able to make changes as requested very quickly! ...
The day of our wedding the bus with our wedding guests arrived at the venue much later than planned/anticipated which lead to some delays with people getting seated and to the space on time.

Renee was professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. Sh...
e checked in with us a few times before the wedding to confirm details, which gave us such peace of mind. Any time we had a question, she responded quickly and clearly.
Our driver on the big day was fantastic. When we accidentally left without the best man, she turned around right away to pick him up—no stress, no hesitation. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, which made the experience even better.
We rented the Cadillac Escalade limo, and it was perfect! It felt luxurious and added such a fun, celebratory vibe to the day.
If you’re looking for reliable, professional, and genuinely caring limo service, Renee’s Limousines is the way to go!

hter’s wedding! Many people in their wedding party talked about the trolley as a highlight of the wedding. It was there, ready and waiting for us, when we finished at the church. Our driver was so friendly, professional, and helpful! He let us know where things were on the trolley, had ice ready for beverages, and let us know how to connect a phone to their speakers to play fun music. It worked easily, and we traveled to our photo stop listening to our wedding playlist. Following photos, our driver took us back to the reception via “the scenic route,” giving us all a chance to relax and decompress following the ceremony and photographs and recharge before the reception. There was even a cute “Just Married” sign off the back that provided a great photo opp! We are so excited to recommend Renee’s as our friends begin to have weddings.

We booked the "40 passenger executive coach" as advertised on the website. The booking confirmation and the contract had the information for that bus. The bride had used this comp...
any before and had been on the bus that we booked. Without communicating with us, the company "upgraded" our bus and sent a larger 50 passenger executive coach that was not nearly as luxurious. The bus that was sent was not like the images provided for the "40 passenger executive" and felt more like a coach for a long road trip. The driver was also not professionally dressed in a black suit and tie as advertised on their website.
The driver of the bus contacted the bride on the day of our wedding stating that he was doing a dry run in his car for the first time. The driver stated that there was absolutely no way he could take the larger bus they had "upgraded" us to through the entrance of the college campus because the turn into the entrance was too sharp for that large of a bus. We provided the driver with a map of the campus that included multiple entry points and routes to the chapel. Only one of the entrances was closed for construction. The main gate was open. The driver continued to call and text asking questions throughout the entire morning about the route, If the route was going to be such an issue, his questions should have been asked well in advance and the dry-run completed prior to the day of the event. After refusing to go through the main entrance to the campus, he told us that he was not able to get all the way to the doors of the church due to the size of the bus. As a result, he ended up dropping us off a block away from the doors of the church leaving us to walk in the rain. This church is located on a university campus and there were other buses present on campus that day. We did note that there was a bus in the parking lot adjacent to the church. We called our bus driver and mentioned that it was clearly possible to get a bus up there and asked that he drive up there during our 1.5hr ceremony to get us after the service. He refused to even attempt to move the bus closer to the church and seemed uncomfortable with the idea of having to "back up" in the large bus provided. It seemed as though the driver had little experience driving the bus that was provided. Therefore, after the ceremony he had not made it up to where we had asked him to meet us and so we had to walk through the rain again to get to the bus. The other main complaint was the lack of music/bluetooth capabilities. When we asked the driver, he told us there was no bluetooth available in the bus and that he only had access to radio and CDs. The driver also did not know how to operate the stereo system or the televisions provided in the bus. The driver had over 1.5 hrs during our ceremony to attempt to figure out how to work the equipment in the bus, but no effort was made, and we still did not have music on the ride back to the venue.
Overall, we do not feel we received the services we had paid for and agreed to. In talking with the customer service representative, Ivan, he said he could not work with us on any sort of refund, but that he could provide us with a 20% discount on our next service. When we asked for a copy of our original contract, he sent us an edited version of it. My wife is currently stationed out of state, and we will not have use for nor be using their services again. I highly encourage ya'll to look at the other highly rated companies on The Knot.
Response from Renee's Limousines on 11/28/2022
We're sorry to hear you're experience with us was not as you expected. While your shuttle ...
service was performed on time and complete, it is understandable you had some frustration with some of the particulars. You mention several things, but it seems like the main two issues are the driver not picking you up in your preferred spot, and the other relates to the specific bused used for the shuttle service. We always support our drivers in their decisions to operate their vehicles in the safest manor and not try to get into a space they feel would not be 100% safe to do so. With regard to the bus not being the one you had been in before, we have several photos on our site for each "class" of vehicle. We also begin our Shuttle Service description with "in conjunction with our network of affiliates" and "we will supply the bus most suitable to your group size". Shuttle service is a more budget friendly option vs our Limo Coaches with entertainment systems. While some of our Executive Coaches do have bluetooth, they are not designed to be a "party bus", even though they are upscale and well appointed. We do agree that your driver should have engaged management rather than over-communicating challenges to you, and this has been corrected. And our contracts cannot be modified on an individual basis. That has to be done universally and is only done on an annual basis. If you do have the need for future services, our offer still stands. Best regards.
