on time and in style. No hassles with moving cars or
trying to find a parking space. This unique service
provides convenience and relaxation for all.

- Rates are per hour with a minimum of two consecutive

- Prices do not include 15% gratuity. Wedding service
includes interior decorations, large exterior sign,
iced waters, uniformed chauffeur and wedding music.
We do not charge for waiting time in the Annapolis
area during the reception if we can leave and come back
after your function.
For your convenience, we add a 15% gratuity to your
contract which is paid out to your driver.
Delivery or wait time charges may apply for venues
outside the Annapolis area (Eastern Shore, South County).
We have a lot of weddings under our belt, but yours
is one-in-a-row for you. Let us help you! Transportation
will be care-free when you work with the local experts.
Tip: If you need two trolleys to get guests TO the
wedding, you can sometimes save money by using only
one trolley to return guests FROM the event.
You might want everyone to arrive at the same time,
but guests will leave the reception at different times,
and often many will stay downtown if the night is young.
AVAILABILITY
– Tell
us as much information as you know (times, locations,
number of people, etc.). We’ll check our calendar

CUSTOMER COMMENTS – Unsolicited
customer’s views on their trolley experience:
"We really enjoyed the use
of the trolley as our wedding day transportation.
Everyone loved it! We had many comments on what
a great idea it was. Mr. Murphy did a wonderful
job driving us all around the Naval Academy. We
really enjoyed him. Please tell him thank you.
The trolley was one of my favorite details of
our big day. Thank you for allowing us to use
it!" – Mike and Stacy |
Off the trolley, taking photos at the end of Prince
George Street.
"Your trolley was the greatest!
...the trolley showed up at our house twenty minutes
early – what a relief! The driver, Sandy,
was great too. She was calm, reassuring, and professional. |
The trolley was clean and beautifully
decorated, exceeding our expectations. We had
a fun and relaxing ride to the church and then
after the ceremony, the trolley was there –
on time! What a pleasure it was doing business
with a professional. |

Thank you all for your wonderful service
at the Toney/Szymcak wedding last Saturday. We appreciate
your punctuality, friendliness of the driver, and the
cleanliness of the trolley. Many of our guests commented
on what a nice touch having the trolley shuttle guests
to the Marriott was. We will highly recommend you to
anyone planning an Annapolis wedding in the future.
Thank you again.
Cathy Toney (mother of the bride)
We thought you would like the enclosed [photo on the
trolley]. Thank you being part of our March 8th wedding.
It was a real treat for our out-of-town guests. We are
still getting compliments about how much they enjoyed
the trolley. Thank you again and we wish you a successful
busy summer season.

Just a note to thank you for our "trolley
experience." It was the perfect start to a perfect
day. Compliments to your service for knowing exactly
what to do when we didn't. Thanks to your driver for
the fun songs on the way to the chapel (which we all
sang to like a bunch of nuts) and finally praise for
your originality at beating hands down the boring limousine....
According to my three year old granddaughter (the flower
girl), "It was the best part!"
-- Joan Gilbride
Thank you so much for all you did to get
a trolley to Bethesda this past weekend for Laurie and
Ben's wedding. The trolley was fun and everyone enjoyed
their ride. Lance was wonderful. I would recommend you
highly! Thanks,
-- Jane Weaver
The trolley was wonderful; we will definitely
recommend to our friends.
-- Teresa Tudor (MOB)
I just want to thank you and your staff
for the marvelous job you all did for Sam and Tim’s
wedding Saturday 1/9/10. The trolleys were wonderful
and thank you again for getting the mini bus as everyone
got back and forth to the wedding in record time. I
will let everyone I know about how wonderful your services
were and if they have any events requiring your services
to definitely contact you. Thanks again for making a
special day even more special, and the trolleys are
lovely.
-- Joyce Stahl (MOB)
Thank you so much for providing transportation
for Anne and Jamie's Naval Academy wedding on Saturday.
The wedding party arrived at the Chapel on time and
we even had some straggling guests join the bridal party
leaving the Loews! The driver was very nice and the
trolley was decorated beautifully! We all enjoyed singing
along with the "wedding" songs as we drove
to the Chapel. It was a great decision to use the trolley
to transport the wedding party. Thank you so much for
a job well done! Sincerely,
-- Becky Magee (MOB)
I just wanted to say that we had a wonderful
time riding the trolley and we were very impressed with
the service (especially the bottled water in the back).
I would certainly recommend your business to future
brides getting married in Annapolis! Thanks again,
-- Sarah Allen (bride)
Just wanted to send a quick email to let
you know how extremely happy we were with the Trolley
service for both the guests and the bridal party. All
the guests were raving about how unique it was to drive
to and from the venues. It just gave them another Annapolis
tradition. I will definitely recommend using the trolley
service to future brides!
Thanks again,
-- Ashley Wojtowycz
