Thunderstar and the whole team turned our challenging venue access into a breeze! They were so lovely and helped our last minute guests arrive even after the ceremony began. I won’t get married again but if we ever need another shuttle service, I know who to call!
Anne and Kelly at Thunderstar were both professional and kind.
During the shuttle booking process, Anne was responsive and helpful. She assisted in the planning process and provided the best pricing and flexibility. She has excellent communication skills and followed up promptly!
Our driver Kelly was just perfect also! We had awful traffic on Labor Day and he was able to find an alternate route. At the end of the evening he made sure we had everything needed and that nothing was left on the shuttle.
The shuttle was also clean and in excellent condition for our event.
Anne and her team were so lovely- it felt like I was getting help from a friend who really cared about me rather than just a vendor. We rented two large buses and one small van for our wedding which came out to about $1800. Anne even gave us use of the van for free. They were timely and friendly. Highly recommend!
