I'm sad to say I used this company for my wedding in May 2018. All the women I spoke to prior to the event were kind and seemed helpful, but it wasn't until my event had a serious problem and I called after the event that I had the unfortunate experience of speaking with the owner Joe.
Prior to my wedding, I spoke with this company at least 3 separate times. I asked if I should get two separate shuttles because of the amount of people I needed to be transported. They told me a single 55 passenger coach would be better, but that I would have to rent it for 9 consecutive hours. We discussed the two pick up hotels, but potentially 3 drop off hotels, and the times we would be telling everyone the shuttles would come. I did everything based off of their recommendation, because they are the professional car service.
The day of the wedding comes, event starts at 730 (I thought I had left PLENTY of buffer time). Driver arrives on time at 6, but the times I had discussed with the women at Camelot were 640 and 655. Bus loads early, and several of my friends told me the driver was on the phone from 640-650 and then left 10 minutes late. He proceeds to make the drop off at the venue, which is 8 minutes away. He returns at 720. Took him 30 mins to make a 16 minute trip + unload. Next bus boards by 725. He then proceeds to make a stop at the third hotel, which was not at all on the list to stop. In fact, I even have a confirmation page that says "D/O at Red Roof", and it is not listed under the "P/U" section. He stops at the hotel, gets out of the shuttle for more than 5 minutes, and then decides no one is waiting there, and proceeds to drop of more than 40 people close to 740. Those people all missed my beautiful wife walk out (obviously one of the biggest moments of her life), had to STAND in the back of our ceremony, made a ruckus upon entering late, and were all very disappointed with the driver. I heard separate stories from more than 10 people about their dissatisfaction with the service that day.
I called and began politely talking to Joe. I am a very patient person, and do not get upset very often. Joe had me yelling and screaming by the end of the phone call because of his rudeness and ineptitude. He continually interrupted me, and could clearly not see my point. He accused me of being someone that just wants to get his money back after receiving the service. He continually referred to his magical "confimation sheet", which clearly does not match the one his company sent me. So basically they just wrote in whatever they wanted on it.
He believes his service is just to pick the people up and drop the people off. You, the customer and likely the only wedding you will ever plan in your life, are responsible to create the times, know how long it takes to board and deboard, and also stay on top of the driver. Camelot, the "professional car service", is in no way responsible for the timing of a WEDDING, can't plan how long people will take to get on/off the shuttle, and only can make a mistake if their car breaks down or they go to the wrong place (which they did). Not only did they make a mistake with the wrong hotel, but they also messed up the entire planning process. Furthermore, the driver was slow and unwitting. Joe seems to think this is all alright, that his company didn't do anything wrong. Much worse, he felt no remorse for stripping my wife of one of the biggest moments of her life. He takes your money upfront, so he can do whatever after the fact.
After reading all the reviews about this company, this is clearly a trend. When things go well, everything is fine. But as soon as someone has an issue and they have to deal with Joe, the results are horrible. I wish I had ordered UBERS for all my guests, would have not only saved me money, but all my guests would've arrived in time to enjoy the refreshments we provided starting at 7. Please, please, please, do not use this company. And if you do, please meticulously plan it yourself, because if something goes wrong, Joe is unreasonable and already has your money.
