south county trolley

Photo ops with a trolley are pretty amazing. The red trolley really made for a few fun pictures. It was fun to ride together with everyone to and from the wedding and the reception in the big open trolley. They knew where they were going and were very flexible when we wanted to add a destination for extra pictures. And... they let me ring the bell!

The trolleys were on time, the drivers were great! One of them got sick the night before the wedding, and the owner filled it! They were great. THe only thing is that they do not disclose that there are ads on the sides of their trolleys which take away from the authenticity of the trolleys. HOWEVER, that was our only complaint! Pretty good if you ask me!!

Nice guy - holding a trolley for me until January without a deposit.. just because he can't provide me with a firm price.

We used a trolley because we had a fair number of people in our party to transport from Warwick to the State House and back to Warwick. I hate the look of limo SUVs and knew I didn’t want all the out of towners lost, so this made sense. I went with South County Trolley, because admittedly, I didn't do much homework. Of the whopping 2 places I contacted, they were cheaper. I did all correspondence via email (probably dumb). The guy – “Ted” - was weird to deal with. What I REALLY wanted was a white trolley. In the initial correspondence, that was no problem. I signed the contract and send it in - no longer available. D'OH! But it was probably my fault because I got busy and didn't send it as quickly as I should have. So, okay, whatever, I'll take a red one to save money. BUT - this was summer 2009 and he would not guarantee what the price quote for 2010 was until the new year. But, no deposit was due and nothing was binding so I signed the contract and sent it in. Turned out, the 2009 price stayed the same. “Ted” had mentioned in several emails that the red trolley would 'probably' be white by spring this year. Awesome, I thought. A few weeks before the wedding I followed up with “Ted” and confirmed the time line and just asked if the trolley happened to be white or red still. His reply (albeit in type) seemed REALLY snarky. Whatever dude. Trolley was still red - way to lead people on.

Day of - everything went smoothly, prompt, etc. Driver seemed nice enough (forgetting her name...). It was hot as hell on the trolley and the windows were open, messing up all of our hair. My mom swears I told her it was A/C, but I didn't save all emails and now I worry I mislead her and that was another company. So, that was my bad.

Overall, it was a weird company to deal with and I would definitely have spent more and gone elsewhere. BUT: overall, I liked using a trolley. My grade here is definitely aimed at how I felt they were as business people and how it was to deal with them, and not on the service day of. On a budget, I’d use them again but would have to increase my patience level!

This little white trolley was the perfect addition to our day. We used it to take the wedding party up to take photos after the church and then to the reception.

The driver was great in making sure that everyone was accounted for before leaving for the church (the groom was about to leave without the maid of honor! :) who were running a little late because of me).

He did, however, not have the exact location of the reception planned out and went the wrong way (costing only about 5 minutes of extra travel), which normally wouldn't be a big deal, but we were rushing to get back to the venue for sunset photos!

Ted had also worked with us on price since we also used the trolley to shuttle people home after the reception in case they would be better to leave their cars until the next morning...

In all, we were happy with the service and cute addition the trolley added to the day!

Highly recommend. Used for my wedding party. Can be a little hard to get ahold of, but on the day of they were fantastic!! one of the best decisions we made-- highly recommend.

We decided to use a trolley instead of the standard limos for our wedding and I am so glad that we did! Our reception venue has limited parking so we choose to shuttle our guests from the church to the reception by trolley! Everyone commented on how much fun it was. The trolley met us at my parents house and because we had some time to kill and I was extremely antsy we asked if we could take the scenic route through Narragansett to get to the church and Elaine, the driver made it happen!
