Don't change the pick up/drop off points without asking the customer!
We hired First Charter to run a shuttle between the hotel and reception for my daughters wedding. All was fine except the driver decide on her own to change the drop off and pick up locations. This forced all our guests, some elderly, to walk about an extra 100 yards at the hotel. Moreover, the driver dropped them of at the reception on the street at the far end of the venue, forcing them to walk across the grass and through the restaurant in their dresses and suits. The driver had my cell phone number, and we had texted earlier, but never consulted with us prior, nor did she inform us, that these points were changed. I realize both locations were not wide open parking lots, but she should of at least informed me of the change prior to doing this so we could have worked out a better solution.

Wedding Shuttle
We used first charter to shuttle our guests from the venue to the hotel at the end of our wedding. They showed up right on time and got our guests back safely. Highly recommend!
Service was a 10 out of 5 stars!
If I could give our driver, Brit, 10 stars out of five, I would do that. Brit was phenomenal! Brit was courteous, genuinely friendly and a great driver! Brit had to drive us from Mason, OH to the boat launch in KY. Directly across the river, they had most of the streets blocked off for a race that day. Although, we were not notified of this change, Brit spoke to a police officer who navigated us to t an alternate route. Brit got us there safely! Brit was invited to join us on the boat cruise and I'm so glad she accepted our offer. It was so much fun hanging out with her that I forgot that she was our driver. She fit right into our group and we all enjoyed the experience of riding on her bus. I'm so glad she took this assignment.
