    Would hire again

    Specialty Transportation took care of our transportation for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how it went. They were easy to work with and took care of all of our transportation needs. Would certainly hire again.

    Easy and comfortable!

    Leah at specialty transportation was very responsive and helpful. Our shuttle driver (Jorge) was great, and the whole experience was so easy.

    SO friendly and accommodating!!

    I can't say enough nice things about Specialty Bus Co. My non-detail-oriented self put the wrong location down for pickup and they still got our guests to the venue on time!!! They were very prompt, courteous, and understanding of my mistake. I felt so awful about the mixup and appreciate them so much for fixing it without me even knowing anything was wrong. Their prices are very fair and I appreciated that the quote includes gratuity already; one less thing for me to worry about.

    Definitely a wonderful option for transportation!!

    Great option for wedding transportation!

    We used speciality transportation to transport our wedding guests between the hotel and the venue before the start of the ceremony and at the end of the night. The shuttles arrived on time, the buses were clean, and the drivers were professional and friendly. Not only was the service outstanding, it was the most affordable quote we received!

    Great Experience with Specialty

    The team at Specialty made everything easy from the very beginning! They were professional, accommodating, and straight forward. Their pricing is reasonable and they are very responsive whenever you reach out with questions/adjustments/etc. The driver assigned to us, Mike, was very friendly and made our guests feel comfortable. We'd highly recommend them and would use them again for any big events we have in the future!

    Wonderful and Guests loved

    We had an open bar and didn't want our guest's to drive so having this bus was the best thing ever.

    They were professional and on-time. Everyone loved having someone take them to and from the wedding.

    Seamless experience, timely, great service!

    My husband and I got married at the Glastonbury Hills Country Club (GHCC) on Saturday 8/24/19 and booked Specialty’s new luxury shuttle bus (about 30 seats) to transport the wedding party for the day. Despite only booking with them less than a month in advance of the wedding, there were no hiccups and we have absolutely no complaints! Leading up to the wedding, we were in touch with their Director of Transportation, Denise, who was very pleasant, responsive, and caring. The services were affordable and vehicle arrived as expected and shown in pictures. Contact information for both the driver and another emergency contact person were sent to us in advance and on the day-of, the driver, Marek, was timely and friendly. I would recommend them to any couple!

    Wedding transportation

    We worked with Specialty to arrange wedding transportation between our hotel and venue for our guests. We booked 2 large luxury shuttle buses so they could run concurrently and allow multiple pick up/drop off times. Denise helped coordinate and she was very flexible with booking since we didn’t finalize our guest count until closer to the wedding day. The day of the wedding, our drivers texted to let me know they were up and running and available if needed, which put me at ease. At the end of the night the last shuttle was a little late picking up at the venue, but with a quick call to the driver they were on their way! Overall we felt it was an affordable transportation option, the vehicles were clean and the staff was pleasant.

    We were very pleased with Specialty Transportation’s services! We rented 3 buses for our wedding day at a reasonable price. The party bus was perfect for our wedding party and inspired a lively ride from the church! The bus drivers were all prompt and very friendly. We especially loved the driver at the end of the night en route from the venue to the hotel. He was such a sport with all the tipsy folks and encouraged fun sing alongs to Queen!

    One of our buses actually broke down while at the venue during our reception, BUT there was no reason to panic! We understand things happen and they immediately came out with a replacement bus within an hour. Many thanks for the speed and professionalism in that situation.
    Overall, we would definitely use Specialty Transportation again and we highly recommend!!

    They were extremely easy to work with and their shuttles are great and very affordable. We didn't budget for guest transportation initially, but I decided it was a must have as the wedding approached. I'm so happy that we decided to get a shuttle, it allowed our guests to enjoy themselves.

    After hearing about someone else's bad experience with transportation using a different company (same wedding venue) I was wary about selecting a transportation company. Speciality came highly recommended from my venue and I see why! Kari and Teresa were excellent -- super responsive and organized with my price quotes and payments. On the day of the event all three of the buses were on time, knew where they were going, professional and courteous. I'd highly recommend them for wedding transportation!

    Shuttle for Guests

    We used Specialty Transport to bring our wedding guests to our venue from the hotel, and then back again at the end of the night. Guests reported that the shuttle was right on time and the driver’s music was great! Very reasonable prices and they were not difficult to get in touch with to adjust pickup/drop off times. The shuttles ran exactly on time, the night was seamless. Thanks so much for making this easy so we could all enjoy the day together

    Great Party Bus for My Bridal Party

    I had originally hired Specialty Transportation before COVID when I thought I would need transportation for all of my guests from hotel to the venue. When it got closer to the wedding, I realized I would not need such a large bus (may of my guests were not comfortable with public transportation, and there were restrictions as to how many people could ride together). They made it easy to put my down payment toward a smaller bus for me and my bridesmaids, and on the day of they were very professional and accommodating. Would definitely recommend them.

    Guest shuttles

    We hired Specialty Transportation for our guest shuttles to and from our hotels for our wedding. They were great on timing and even came early! The only complaint I got from guests was that one driver was very strict with the timing (which I can appreciate) but the bus was not filled with guests yet to take to the venue. I’m hoping there can be a little more flexibility and understanding that sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned. Other than that the shuttle rides back were great and were able to fit all of our guests! Pricing was super reasonable and they were able to make multiple trips for those that wanted to head back to the hotel earlier.

    Great Option, Would Hire Again

    We hired two buses from Specialty Transportation to transport guests from 3 hotels to our wedding in June of 2023, the 30 passenger luxury bus and 28 passenger shuttle bus. Specialty was extremely communicative and easy to coordinate with. We actually signed a contract to rent one of our buses the same night as another couple, and they caught it in advance. They also offered us a different bus for the same price to make up for the error. We also asked to adjust the schedule we originally submitted a few weeks later, and they let us with no questions.

    We didn’t ride the buses ourselves, but our guests told us they had a good experience. The buses were on time and stuck with the pickup/dropoff schedule we gave them. There was one incident towards the end of our night where a driver told a bus of people who didn’t fit on his bus that he would not be returning, despite being contracted for almost another whole hour. He did not return, but the other driver did. Unfortunately, the buses were off-set in their timing, so the small last group of guests did wait quite a while for that final bus. The driver who did return was deeply apologetic and seemed confused as to why his coworker had said he wouldn’t return. Ultimately, all our guests got back to their hotels and didn’t really have any complaints. We would definitely work with Specialty again!

    Covid tragedy

    I am sure this company provides wonderful services, however in the setting of COVID when I had to cancel my wedding this company denied me the option of a refund of my deposit. The customer services was sub par as they were not willing to make an exception during these devastating times. I hope for someone else's sake they talk to their transportation company and ask if they will be refunded in the setting of a devastating pandemic that is the worst it has been in the last 100 years.
