Reviews for Santos VIP Limousine Service
I will admit I was completely against having a limo on my wedding but upon my parent’s insistence, we booked a limo at the very last minute. Since we didn’t have much time to shop around, I simply looked up reviews on PW and decided on Santos immediately and with absolutely no regrets. I echo the sentiments on the stellar service provided by Santos. Al, our driver, arrived on time. He was extremely patient and courteous, friendly and sociable without being too chatty and intrusive. He was also very smart to keep us in the limo until our photographer and videographer was ready to record our exit and as soon as we left the Church, he was already standing tall ready to let us back in. He drove us to the reception safely and timely and offered refreshments to our parents. The limo itself was very clean and shiny, in excellent condition for pictures, inside and out. We chose the Chrysler which was big enough for eight, maybe ten and the look was stylish and classy. I couldn’t have been more happier with our decision. Should you need a limo I HIGHLY recommend Santos, and ask Al to be your driver.
Limos were nice and clean. The showed up early, helped me with the dress, getting in an out of the limo. I got a 10% discount because I booked 3 limos and another discount because the lady on the phone didn’t know how to do math. The day of the wedding we ran over the time with the pictures and had to pay a lot of money on the spot, but as long as we got nice pictures, that’s all that matters….
MH really took the lead with the limo. We searched high & low and in the end, he felt the most comfortable with Rich from Santos. He was just a great guy. I had an issue with one of his drivers at another wedding a few months before my wedding. I shared my disappointment and I hoped that it would not happen again. The good thing is that he had already let that driver go even before I spoke to him. In the spirit of making it up, Rich himself was my driver. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing he was! This guy is just a class act. The limo ride was one of my highlights as crazy as it sounds. MH & I hooked up the stretches w/booze..lots of booze! Our BP was having a great time! Almost ½ of the BP was wasted BEFORE cocktail hr! I laughed! MH said it’s a sign of a great party! One of the GM could not even walk in for the intro & we lost another 2 more around dinner time. Personally – I got a kick out of it. But..back to the limo, the ride is so much fun. Nobody talks about the limo ride. Can I just tell you – going to the church & after the church its like the road opened up for us. People were driving by waiving, hocking, giving us thumbs up. It was a blast. Going to the church, I was with my brother & mother – both were giving me away! We saw my brother waving back & doing the Pope wave. It was hysterical! Rich just laughed & totally blended in w/my crazy family. Then on the way to Lamberts Castle the people were yelling out the windows to MH & I wishing us well, beeping & blowing kisses. It was theeee best ride of my life! Rich said its like that for every wedding. We had a blast. Also, I gotta tell you, since our priest ran late Rich was all over it. The man kept me calm the entire time. When nobody was giving me answers he went & got me the answers. He kept fixing my train & just a great guy! Also, at Lamberts’ Castle when we arrived he asked if it was ok if he goes like 5 min down the road to fill up the rolls w/gas. I thought that was great customer svc. The biggest thing of all – even though we ran late w/the church the man got us to cocktail hour ON TIME! That was huge. He told us not to worry. He kept tabs on the traffic for us & got us there & didn’t miss a beat! HIGHLY recommend them!!
We used them for our Sept 2006 wedding.
I have yet to read a bad review about them and I don't have one either. They were EARLY, sooo nice and helpful and the poor driver of the rolls had to talk to my dad the whole ride to the church :) he's so chatty! Perfect in every way.
5 star considering everyone uses them, this is the ONLY vendor we didn't shop around much on. I have yet to read a bad review about them and I don't have one either. They were EARLY, sooo nice and helpful and the poor driver of the rolls had to talk to my dad the whole ride to the church :) he's so chatty! Perfect in every way. It was great to have such confidence in all of our vendors there was NO WAY we needed a day of coordinator cause all of our vendors knew exactly what they were doing and did it perfectly!
off the charts!!!! reccomended and mentioned by everyone one of my vendors as the best around! Everyone in my family has used them and I plan on using them for all my families future ocassions!
When first setting out to book limos, NOONE would rent to me since we were on a Friday in May and they could get much more money for a Prom rental. Upon contacting Rich, the owner, he actually took the time to explain to me why the other companies would not book and worked with me to create decent pricing for my wedding, although treating it as a prom. He had the lowest prices I could find, regardless. The day of, they were on time and had a GPS to direct them so I wouldn't have to. They were wonderful about holding up the umbrellas for us all and ensuring that I didn't get the least bit wet. The only reason I did not give them a 10 is because they added a $400 service charge that we were unaware of .
We had a wonderful experience with Santos. The reservation process was quick and easy. They followed up a week before our wedding to verify all of the details regarding times and locations. The vehicle was in pristine condition and all of the promised amenities were present. The driver was courteous and professional.
I have heard many nightmare stories about limousine services and clueless drivers, etc. None of that happened during our wedding. From the first consultation until the last moment everybody was corteous and pleasant to work with. We were very happy!
They were just absolutely fantastic! We had two limos - so two drivers - and both were very attentive. It was pouring the day of the wedding so they both got out of the cars when they came to pick us up and both opened up huge golf umbrellas. They then walked all of my girls, one by one, to the navigator limo to make sure they stayed completely dry. They then took me to my car under the umbrellas and carried my dress so it didn't get wet. When we got to the church they did the same thing for each girl and for me. After the ceremony they were waiting with champagne and had umbrellas on hand in case it started to rain again. They never once mentioned going over the time we had allotted. The cars were clean and beautiful and they were a very professional service!
Santos VIP was excellent the day of my wedding. Not only did they have the best price, but the limos arrived early and were spotlessly clean. The 2 drivers we had were exceptional - one directed the procession at my ceremony while the other made sure I looked perfect before walking down the aisle. I highly reccommend!
Like everyone says- they arrived early, the cars were clean, very professional. I got a Rolls Royce for my father and I and a 12- passenger limo for my mom and the girls. We got to the Church 20 minutes early so we drove around NB. We parked behind the church and just hung out- the drivers were fantastic and relaxed. When it was time to get to the church, they helped me get out of the car and when I started to hyperventilate before the ceremony, they got me water and relaxed me! We didn't need the cars after the ceremony because we walked to the reception site but they hung out while we took pictures and when they left, they gave us the champagne and the glasses and we drank as we walked through NB- it was awesome!
On time and friendly. Clean limos, well-dressed drivers. One driver in particular was very nice but unfortunately I don't remember his name.
Great service! The limos were right on time (a bit early, actually!), and the drivers were very friendly. When we arrived at the church, my driver helped me get out of the car, fluffed my train, and held on to my fur wrap during the ceremony! Great experience, and highly recommend!
I cannot say enough about Santos. Our 2 drivers, Marla and Lou, were absolutely wonderful. Marla picked us up in a 10 passenger Chrysler 300 at my parent's house to bring us to the church and she hustled getting everyone and everything in the car, after having patiently waited for us to be ready. When I was leaving the house I fell down the last stair and I swear she sprinted up the driveway to come help me even though my 2 BM's were there too. She helped us all into the limo and out. She was a sweetheart. Lou, the driver of the Rolls that met us at the church was just as great. Both he and Marla went into the church with me, helped with my dress, calmed me down (I was a mess leading up to the ceremony, oh boy was I), and made me smile. Then afterwards they did a great job of moving stuff from limo to my FIL's car, and then at the Brownstone, unloading everything and getting everything inside. I'm sure there is a ton more I could say, but let's leave it at they were GREAT.
I have read so many nice things about this company and they really came through. They picked up the groomsmen on time, got them to the church and then got my bridesmaids and I at our hotel. The whole process was very smooth and I liked the fact that I really did not have to think about them or worry if they were going to arrive. They handled everything which is exactly how you want a limo company to behave on your big day. I would definitely recommend them!
EXCELLENT SERVICE! Nice, spacious and clean limos. Very very professional staff and very reasonable. The cheapest I found in the area. Very quick at getting back to you, very very responsive. I highly recommend this limo company, they are excellent and extremely friendly.
These guys were great! I had booked another limo service before booking with Santos and it turned out that my first choice in limo services was a false company and never returned my phone calls. So a week before my wedding I almost had a heart attack because I had no form of transportation for my wedding party as well as my husband and me. I called Santos and the owner really worked with me to find something for my wedding. I ended up getting a stretch Hummer for less than what I was going to pay my original limo company.
Santos was so helpful and even came all the way to Livingston, NJ from Avenel which is quite a ways away. Limo driver was super nice too! All in all it was a great experience!
My husband booked Santos and they were highly recommended. They worked out great. Clean vehicle, the driver had a red carpet, was dressed professionally, had a champagne toast, and fluffed my dress in the church. They also travel to where you are for no extra cost!
