Rockstar Limo did not meet our expectations at all for wedding transport. We had a call two days before our wedding to finalize the three guest pickup spots, which went well. The day of the wedding, however, our final and largest guest pickup spot (about 12 people) didn’t get picked up at all. Our guests began texting my bridesmaid asking what to do, and because our ceremony was supposed to start in 10 mins, she told them to jump in Ubers. Meanwhile, she frantically called dispatch and when she couldn’t give them the details of the vehicle (because she hadn’t ridden in it and the wedding party had no idea what kind of vehicle was picking up guests), dispatch was unhelpful. My bridesmaid then had to get off the phone so she could walk down the aisle. By this point, both my husband and I were aware there were major problems happening with the transportation. Our ceremony was late and the start was extremely rushed and frantic, which was not the mood we wanted to kick off the biggest moment of our lives. The guests, which were my closest friends, were heartbroken to have arrived late and effectively missed the ceremony as they could not hear it from where they were standing. We had a very thoughtfully laid-out timeline we needed to abide by in order to work with our other vendors that did fulfill their services that day, including photography, DJ, etc. This issue took away time from both our cocktail hour for guests and cut into time we needed for wedding portraits.
The limo company’s manager named Meaghan handled the issue terribly when we reached out after our honeymoon to understand what happened. She told us that the driver was asked by a guest at the previous stop to not pick up the final stop so they wouldn’t be late for the wedding. We tried to ask, if that was actually true and did happen, why the driver was running late to begin with and she insisted the driver was not late at all. Only a handful of guests were using the shuttle service at the first two stops. Of those people, we honestly can’t picture any of the guests telling the driver to go against our wishes and skip a stop – it sounded totally bizarre. However, giving them the benefit of the doubt, we asked why the driver would be making decisions based on someone’s preference who did not pay for the services. Meaghan said that the driver “felt bad” about it and kept referring to the situation as “unfortunate.” They admitted fault without taking accountability.
The bottom line is, based on the fact that the driver was already late enough for a guest to be allegedly worried about missing the wedding and the majority of our wedding guests that were supposed to be provided transportation missing out on the service completely and having to pay their own way to get to the wedding late, we believed we were owed a partial refund. This situation was very disruptive to our wedding. The company tried to offer us a gift card for a menial amount (which we did not accept because we would never rely on them again) but refused to refund us in any way. They also took weeks in between answering any of our correspondences.
Unfortunately, I would not recommend the services to anyone. Their drivers make decisions that could impact your entire wedding day and your services that you pay ahead of time, and in good faith for. It’s also not the first time this has happened, judging by some of the similar reviews. As of this review, I’ve reached out to the BBB and the AG’s office.
