Everyone we worked with was very helpful and supportive.
I used First Student to transport guests for my wedding. They were extremely professional and the pickups and dropoffs were seamless. I would definitely recommend this company to other couples!

Excellent wedding transportation!
We used First Charter for transportation for our wedding. They were very affordable compared to other options, communication was clear, they were timely, and our driver, Chris, was phenomenal. He made sure everyone was accounted for and was very patient with our guests at the end of our NYE wedding. It was very reassuring to know we had a safe and reliable way for our guests to be brought back to the hotel. Would definitely book with them again!

These guys were a life saver
These guys were a life saver. Called at 11am on Friday morning for a bus that night. Steve came through like a champ. Don't hesitate to call them for fantastic service at a reasonable price. Paul E

Thanks First Student and Bob Healey!
A huge shout out to Robert Healy, who shuttled guests to and from our wedding! Robert went out of his way to drive by the hotels and venue ahead of time, handled some tight turns like a champ, and made everyone feel welcome. Couldn’t be happier to have him be part of our day!

Disappointed.
The bus did not wait for my wedding guests to walk down the driveway and get on the bus. We told people the last bus was at 11pm and by 11:03 the bus was gone. My mom paid the driver an extra $60 to make another trip and come back for more people and he never came back. My dad was trying to get the guests down the driveway via a golf cart as fast as he could but the bus did not wait. We had to have teenagers drive us back to the hotel because there was no other mode of transportation.

Bus trip to Mount Southington.
Buses arrived on time to pick the students up in the morning. Drivers were friendly and helpful. The trip back to school went well and the children arrived home on time.
