Unfortunately, VIP rides provided the worst experience I have ever had with a party bus. I hired VIP for my wedding & was so looking forward to a wonderful time; that would not be ...the case for my wedding day. The night before my wedding, we had a HUGE storm that caused road closures as trees & wires were down. One with think that if your job, your livelihood, was to transport folks (no matter what the occasion), you would be on top of your game & check the news, DOT websites, any & everything to ensure a seamless day/night. To start, the bus driver who was supposed to pick up the men at 1:00 (pick up was between 12:45 – 1:00), was late. After finally getting the men on the bus & dropping them off at church, THE BUS DRIVER SAT IN THE PARKING LOT. COMPLETELY FORGETTING HE HAD TO PICK UP THE BRIDE & MY GIRLS. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES THE PARTY BUS DRIVER FORGET THE BRIDE??? Not only was I late to my own wedding, but because of how late we were, I had no choice but to put the kibosh on some quick photo opportunities I planned on taking on the way to church. First, I wanted to stop at my grandma’s house, who passed 3 months ago, & whose house is 17 houses away from my parents. This was supposed to be a special moment for me prior to arriving to church. I couldn’t do this because of how late the bus was. Second, I planned on stopping at the cemetery (which is also on the way to church), to take a moment & photo with my grandparent’s grave, along with my aunt’s grave. Sadly, these beautiful moments never happened. To say I am saddened & disappointed is a huge understatement. As I write this, I am still in utter disbelief that the driver forgot to pick me up. My husb& & sister (Maid of honor) were on the phone when my sister dem&ed to talk to the driver & when my husb& could not find the driver close to the bus, he began to search for him. It was not until my sister (the maid of honor), called him & educated him on the situation, that he finally picked me up. The driver made various excuses &, on the second call between the driver & my sister, he had the audacity to tell her that he “couldn’t talk right now” & proceeded to h& up on her. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to have your wedding guests texting you, asking where you are? I sure hope you don’t, but I do. Fast forward to after my beautiful wedding ceremony - the driver NEVER even introduced himself. The only reason I even knew his name (Rick) is because &rew (owner), emailed me information the night before the wedding. We arrived at the Metroparks to take photos (yes, the Metroparks are confusing & don’t have an exact address based on the size & all the attractions). Upon arriving at the park, I quickly realized we were in the wrong area. This normally would not be a big deal, at all, but for the fact that everything was now off schedule because of the conscious decision made by the driver to arrive late for all the pickups. This was the absolute worst part of my day & regrettably, it filled many hours of my day & I was filled with so much resent. The driver was cold & never interacted with us as I would have expected. This line of work is not merely chauffeuring folks around but it’s truly an experience of wonderful customer service – or at least, it should be. I urge anyone who is looking to hire VIP to please reconsider. Their prices may be less than other companies but what you will sacrifice may be monumental. Please please please do not make the same mistake I did.
