ntastic. She was kind, energetic, and so much fun with our guests.
Not only is the trolley absolutely adorable, but it was also an efficient and stress-free way to transport everyone between venues. Our guests didn't have to worry about driving or coordinating parking, which made the day much more enjoyable for everyone.
The trolley arrived exactly where we needed it, stayed on schedule, and even made for some incredible photo opportunities. We highly recommend the St. Louis Trolley for any wedding or special event!

change the plan to have the trolley transport the bride and bridesmaids to the church, and wait until after the ceremony, transport the entire wedding party for pictures downtown and then finally to the reception in Forest Park. The driver, whose name escapes me, was fantastic, the trolley was fun, clean, comfortable, and reliable. Highly recommend!!

We were able to request a white trolley for the day and I cannot wait to get our photos back because it was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Our driver was great and worked with us making sure we all got on/off safely. This does seem like a smaller business with one person running the books/reservations so it may take time them time to confirm they received your invoice and check, but that had nothing to do with the quality of service and having a memorable way of transportation the day of the wedding. Would recommend to anyone!

all correct. We had the trolley "Stormy" - our driver arrived on time and navigated through Forest Park great on a busy Saturday in the Spring. The Trolley was super clean, we had plenty of room for our wedding partyand AC was very cold which felt amazing and we were able to connect via blue tooth to the sound system. Great experience and so happy we chose to use a trolley for our wedding day transportation!

e got the last one - Lucky a green and red one - (I guess our day was very busy!) Nevertheless, we were thrilled about having a trolley for our wedding day to go and take pictures around town with our wedding party! They were on time, friendly and the trolley was clean. The only reason I am giving the experience 4 stars is because the driver of the trolley was a bit rough on the roads. He was breaking hard and missing exits. Additionally, the sound system was not working well in the trolley (not the drivers fault), but it made it a bit less fun than anticipated. However, the trolley was super cute and I was happy we were able to book it for the wedding day!

My fiancé and I thought it would be such a fun experience to rent a trolley for our wedding party pictures. The trolley we were supposed to have was out of commission, which would ...
not have been a big deal if this trolley was in proper working condition. The music was not working and after about 20 minutes of a groomsman insisting a phone call be made to get it figured out, the speakers had been blown so that was quite unpleasant to our ears. The check engine light and coolant light were on. The air conditioning was blowing out warm air and our groomsman were sweating through their shirts as well as my bridesmaids had their dresses hiked up to attempt to cool off. The driver did not know where he was going and wasn’t open to listening to our wedding planner giving him directions. We were unable to make it to all of our picture stops and it was overall not a good experience. I would definitely go with the 80’s limo service if I did it all over again!

Additionally, it was a little hot since their AC unit is relatively small, but overall it was stunning! It completed the vibe of the day. We were allowed to bring on food and drinks, and our driver was incredibly sweet. Would definitely recommend to use them as long as you bring some water to keep cool if you're getting married in the summer.

ough. Although there communication was not great. They were slow to respond to emails, when we called (within indicated hour) they were always driving the trolleys and could give us limited information and were rather short with us. Though, that day they showed up on time, the driver was kind, it was spacious, and beautiful backdrop for pictures. It was worth the little bit of trouble with communication to us.

ally grateful that the trolleys were there! We booked 2 trolleys that made multiple trips to transport about 150 guests. The trolleys also transported our wedding party to our picture locations. They allowed food and drink and even let us play music via Bluetooth! I emailed the company a detailed schedule of the stops I wanted the trolleys to make with times and addresses, which they printed for the drivers. This was very helpful as I didn’t have to worry about telling them where to go the day of the wedding!!

ce we swapped out the cords and then later figured out how to connect to Bluetooth. There were only a few minor issues-the first was that the back AC was leaking, and didn’t appear to be 100% working-the air just wasn’t as cold as the front. The AC ended up getting some of our wedding party and two of our vendors wet, which wasn’t ideal. The other minor issue was our driver-she didn’t know where any major STL wedding spots were. My wedding party spent a lot of time directing her, and she ended up taking some really strange routes that had us waste a lot of time and almost made us late to our reception. If you book with the trolley, I would recommend giving the driver an itinerary with addresses and stops just in case. It wasn’t something I even thought about having to do, but going back I wish I would have. I did email Sharon about these issues and she was very kind in her response. Overall, we have no regrets about using the trolley and would use them again in the future!

bus and it did not feel crowded! Plenty of room for coolers and food! It also had plenty of room for all of the items we had to bring back to the hotel! Of course, it also looked great in photos! The only thing I will say is that our driver did not take us to the arch right away. I had an itinerary just for him that I sent to sharon ahead of time. It had stops, addresses, and approximate times on it. I had to correct him and help him get to the arch. We wasted about 10 minutes driving across the bridge in the wrong direction. Overall it was still a wonderful day and the driver was prompt and so kind!

We had plenty of space to sit and stand, brought 3 boxes of Jimmy John's and a cooler and really enjoyed working with Sharon from St. Louis Trolley. Our trolley showed up on time and took us exactly where we needed to go. I'm so glad we booked a trolley for our group, we had so much fun singing and dancing between photos!

The driver was knowledgeable about driving in the area (especially Forest Park), very welcoming and accommodating, and punctual. The trolley looked great for some photos - it was clean on the outside and the inside. We also had extra time before going to our reception, so the driver was happy to drive us around the loop so we could hang out a bit longer and show out of town guests more of St. Louis!

Great company. Met all of our requests. Awesome experience the day of. Went above and beyond giving our guests a mini tour of St. Louis in between our ceremony and reception. ...
Two things they can work on: ensuring to communicate with the client on connection for music in the trolleys (we were forced to listen to the radio because they had very outdated cords to connect to the speakers) and have a smoother contract process. Our contract was handwritten, very hard to understand & contact prior to event was based solely on telephone calls. Minor things that can be easily adjusted to reach a 5 star rating.

party! It’s also a fun twist to a party bus making the whole experience more unique. I asked a lot of friends how much their party bus costed for the same amount of hours and most of them payed more. It’s definitely a good price for the time you have it! For those of you wondering, you are able to plug in your phone and blast tunes, as well as drink and eat on the bus (something other party buses don’t allow). Definitely worth every penny!

the wedding and the reception and then they let us use that same trolley to shuttle guests from the reception to the hotel. The Annika trolley was perfect for us. It was open so we could easily have fun with our bridal party and it looked great in pictures! They arrived on time to the church and the reception and we had no issues at all (and we went to a lot of places with a lot of traffic and people). They even agreed to work a little late as we got the last round of guests (including us) back to the hotel. The driver was so friendly and easy going and everyone loved her! We would highly recommend using them for your next event!

We hired St Louis Carriage Company to pick us up from our venue for our grand exit after our wedding reception. I called and spoke with someone months in advance and she told me I ...
should book it and pay for it online and put my special requests in the notes section since it was not a normal pick up site. I did exactly as I was told and received an email confirmation of the booking. After that I didn't hear from them again. I probably should have confirmed with them the week before the wedding, but it was obviously a very busy week. The night of the wedding, everyone filed outside and there was no carriage. We waited a few minutes but no one came. Fortunately, my mother-in-law knew who we had booked with and called to find out what was going on. They apparently did not read the notes or pass on the message because the carriage was patiently waiting for us at TGIFridays. They apologized for the error and of course sent the driver to pick us up. The whole process only made them about 15 minutes later than we originally planned so it wasn't too big of a deal, but they should have called to confirm the booking ahead of time, especially since it had been booked so far in advance. Once the carriage got there, the ride was perfect and the driver was friendly. We took a tour around downtown before ending up back at our hotel.

olley came with broken speakers and a very rude driver. The whole experience was disappointing. I would never recommend this company.
Response from St Louis Trolley
First of all, let me apologize for the misunderstanding that seems to have taken place. Y...
ou booked a trolley with us, but you did not request a certain trolley. Our contract simply stated trolley and there was no choice indicated. When that happens, we assign a trolley for that day which is what we did. I double checked to see if we had missed any emails that would have been sent later requesting a certain trolley and there were none. It was never our intention to not give you a certain trolley, but there were no requests made to give us that opportunity. As for the speakers, they are not meant to be driven at the loudest possible setting which if done will distort and that appears to be what happened because the same trolley was used later that evening and they were clear when used at a lower volume. Your driver that day has always been very courteous with lots of good reviews and we are shocked to hear any different. She made sure the wedding party was taken to all the locations they requested, plus an extra stop at a gas station. She did everything she could to give the best service possible. Again, we apologize for the misunderstanding that appears to have happened. We sent the contract in an email and a paid receipt in an additional email and nothing was ever mentioned about using a certain trolley.

I am being giving by rating 1 star for this company. The day of our extremely hot summer wedding day, the trolley I originally booked was broken down and without a notification a...
nother one was sent in it's place. This trolley had no working AC. Unfortunately several members of the wedding party got sick and had to ride in a van following the trolley, myself- the bride- included. We did end up getting a full refund, but the money doesn't make up for lost memories I was looking forward to.
Response from St Louis Trolley
Once again, let me start by extending our sincere apology for the events that occurred on ...
your wedding day. It is never our intention to cause any of our customers any problems on their wonderful day. However, we cannot control the weather and when it hits 110, breaking records, the best we can expect is 30 degrees cooler inside the trolley than outside. We were getting phone calls from different bus companies asking for help because their equipment wasn't functioning properly either and they needed help. It was an act of nature and totally unforeseen as no one knew the temperatures were going to skyrocket to this extent. We did issue a full refund even though acts of nature are out of our control. Again, we apologize.
