    Corrected Course to Save the Day

    Woodlawn Motor Coach was reliable, clean, and communicative. They brought our guests from our hotel to the venue and back at the end of the night. Even with a mishap where we had the wrong Marriott’s address in the contract, they managed to get there on time and get the guests to the venue before the ceremony began. We are so grateful for the flexibility and communication they provided us, as well as a great and affordable service!

    We used Woodlawn Motor coach for our wedding transportation! The coach bus was clean, and the driver was on time and personable! I cannot recommend them more!!

    Exactly what we needed

    Woodlawn Motor Coach was significantly cheaper than any other quote I got, so I was skeptical, but they were perfect on our wedding day. I had no issue booking the two school buses we needed, our point of contact Gretchen was a pleasure to deal with, and our bus drivers where prompt and professional. A few weeks before the event, my fiancé shared a timeline and maps for the drivers of where to pull up and when and the drivers followed it perfectly. We moved guests from our ceremony to the reception, and then from the reception to the after party and everything went seamlessly. Thank you!

    Amazing service

    We rented a school bus for our guests with Woodlawn Motor Coach. We had originally chosen them because they were the most affordable, but we were so glad we went with them! The bus driver was great and so personable. She made friends with all of my guests riding the bus. She was prompt and arrived on time. She waited to ensure all guests made it on to the bus for the ride to the wedding, and even stayed 15-20 minutes after her designated pick-up time to wait for me, my husband, and the bridal party as we helped clean up. Great service for an excellent value!

    Woodlawn Motor Coach was exactly what we needed to get our guests from hotel to venue and back! They were on time, ensuring 50+ guests were at our venue with plenty of time before ceremony started! They were ready for pick up time and problem-solved when we couldn't find the owner of a car blocking their path at venue! Our guests were pleased with the comfy and fun ride!

    We used Woodlawn Motor Coach to shuttle wedding attendees from the Marriott Waterfront to the Mansion House at The Maryland Zoo In Baltimore. The salesperson Carole was easy to work with and the bus driver, William G., was professional, personable and flexible.

    Woodlawn Motor Coach was awesome in helping us transport our wedding guests to and from the hotel. John Franey and Carole Grandjean were so easy to work with and very responsive. They helped us figure out how many buses were needed and everything ran so smoothly. We transported 100+ guests to and from the hotel and they had many different shuttle size options for us to choose from. You could tell the buses were new, were very clean and the driver's were professional and friendly. Thanks again to Woodlawn Motor Coach!

    Woodlawn Motorcoach was an excellent value. We had 2 school buses to take our guests to and from the venue. The main problem was that the driver's got lost on the way to the venue not once but twice. So at the end of the night, the bridal party was waiting outside for an additional 25 minutes. The wedding party took it in stride, the staff was very friendly, and thank goodness for Smartphones!

    Gaylee, our rep, was very helpful and friendly (though we weren't sure we needed to hear about her foot injuries so much). She got us the best deal she could and we would definitely use them again.

    My husband and I went to a friends wedding last year and they used Woodlawn Motor Coach to get school buses that shipped everyone around. We thought it was such a good idea especially since our venue was out in the country and the hotel was about a 10 minute drive away. Initially it was hard to get in touch with someone from the company. We emailed the place and didn't receive anything back. Then my husband called and they told him to email at a different address. We did that and still didn't hear anything back. Eventually he called again and the lady said she would get back to him through email. She finally did and everything worked out great. Normally we would have given up after all of the attempts but their prices are so much better than all of the other places we researched. We wanted enough buses to be able to accomodate the entire wedding so no one had to worry about drinking and driving. This was definitely worth the money.

    I was scheduled to use this company for two mini buses for the wedding. 5 weeks before the wedding they cancelled. I was stuck with no bus company. Be very careful if you sign up to use this company. Be sure to get an ironclad contract.

    I chose Woodlawn MC as our wedding transportation because of the good reviews from both my venue coordinator and Wedding Wire, and though it was a rocky road it fortunately all came together in the end. The value is great – we got two school buses for a very good price and they served our guests just fine. But, the customer service was atrocious. It took days to get a response from anyone at the office, and once a response was given it was consistently short and unprofessional. Carole clearly does not care about the customer, nor does she care about how she portrays the company and she was a horror to work with from beginning to end. Diana was originally the more responsive of the two contacts that I was given, but by the end she was also unprofessional and short in her responses. The two would go back-and-forth telling me to ask the other a question, and nobody could ever just give me a reasonable answer. By the end I would have to send 2-3 emails to get a simple response.

    On the wedding day we had two shuttles take our guests from hotels in Baltimore to the venue and back, and one of the bus drivers somehow got lost despite apparently being given a very detailed packet on where to go, when to leave, who to contact, etc. Thankfully one of our guests had the foresight to call our wedding coordinator for the address and redirect the bus with half of our guests, but the unprofessionalism of the bus driver was disappointing. I had a wonderful group of vendors for my wedding, but Woodlawn Motor Coach definitely dropped the ball. Find any other bus company in the area for your wedding needs!

    Woodlawn was great to work with up until the day of our wedding. Two weeks before I added a second shuttle which they accomodated with no problems. However, I cannot recommend them at all. On the day of our wedding, the shuttle that was to take the family to the venue for pre-pictures was 35 minutes late. They are located less than a half hour from our hotel, so we can only assume that they left late. I did not receive a call or any information, and when we called the dispatcher she was not aware that our shuttle was late. The driver claimed that part of 695 was shut down--when we verified this it was not true. The driver of the 2nd shuttle did follow company procedure with having someone sign off that everyone arrived and was on time, but the whole experience left a sour taste. We were unable to take as many pictures and were rushing to get ready because of the late driver. Also the driver does not know why we are going where we are at what time--for all he knew I could have been late to my own wedding. I would not work with them again. I will not be contesting this with the company because financial compensation will not solve the problem; their job was to get us from one place to another at a specified time and they failed to execute that or to communicate when there were problems.
