The bus did not show up until 10 minutes AFTER it was supposed to leave, which meant its arrival was over 30 min late with no notice. Was not a fun thing to try and deal with less than an hour before... See more

Everything went perfectly!
They did a great job with my wedding shuttle - showed up on time and did everything we asked. It worked out perfectly! Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic!
Hired them as transportation for our wedding, and I’m glad we did. They were prompt, professional, allowed our guests to sip some beverages en route to the venue, and the drivers we had (Nancy and Debbie) were fantastic! They were much more reasonably priced than some other vendors we looked at in the area.

Excellent Driver....okay payment process
Jose was excellent the entire day. I didn't like that we had to pay for the entire trip before the event. The other two bus companies we normally use do not require full payment until after the event is completed.

The buses were on time and stayed on schedule for every pickup/dropoff. Also, the ladies in the office were so nice and extremely helpful in terms of answering questions. Couldn't have asked for better support!

Wedding Bus Service
We utilized First Student as the transportation for guests to and from our venue to our hotel for our December 2021 wedding. They were easy to work with for the quote and to set the details. The night of the wedding, they arrived right on time and there were no issues. Our bus drivers were Dianne and Julie, both of whom were very pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend them for wedding transportation.

Who would have thought a School Bus…
Who would have thought a School Bus ride with adults going to a wedding would be a good idea. Well it was a great idea, the guests felt like kids and the drivers were engaged and made the trip fun and exciting. Highly recommend!

Thank You!
Everything was great! Bus was very clean, driver was on time and everyone felt very safe on the ride. We were told there would be a USB cord to plug into but there was not one, and the bus driver got slightly lost but he still got us there on time! All in all great experience

Great service and totally recommend!
First charter truly went above and beyond for this wedding. My client had to have a last minute change in venue due to some unforeseen construction at her original ceremony venue and had to switch to another the night before the wedding! First charter not only made the change for us, they waived the fee for the bride and did it all with just about 10 minutes left before they closed the office. Will definitely use them again!
