They picked me and my group from our apartment near Grand Army Plaza and about 25 guests from the Holiday Inn on Union. The sent nice new clean cars. We made arrangements with them a few weeks before the wedding and dropped off the access passes to the park a few days before the wedding. </p> <p>They ran out of cars when everyone was leaving after the wedding. Some of our drunk guests commandeered cars meant for family for rides to the city. My husband called another car service for back up cars. It was crazy, but they were helpful and patient. The wedding was over at 11pm which is a busy time for cars. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/car-service-for-wedding#post-762825 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:18:35 +0000 homeowner 762825@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>How many people are you talking about moving? There is a big difference between moving 10 people and moving 50 people. </p> <p>I lucked out for my wedding as one of my best friends owns a livery service that specializes in funerals. Her cars weren't scheduled for a run on the day of our wedding so we had a couple of black strech limos pick up people at one hotel and transport them to and from our venue. It sounds like that's kind of what you're looking for. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/car-service-for-wedding#post-762810 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 08:55:01 +0000 d_luxx 762810@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>d_luxx <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/car-service-for-wedding#post-762809">said</a>:</cite><br /> Thanks! </p> <p>Guests are flying in and will not have their own cars.

When you try to google map it, you sometimes get the address of the catering company who handles events there instead of the venue itself. So it is causing me some worry ! </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/car-service-for-wedding#post-762805 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:20:18 +0000 xlizellx 762805@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I didn't get married in the city, so my response is not totally helpful.</p> <p>But</p> <p>What about in your info section if the invite where you share hotel info you also include the numbers for car services in the area? Guests can then decide on their own to book it or not. We had a shuttle bus for ours which was awesome but there were no cars in the area. A lot of people still wanted to drive on their own - so just giving them the info (and giving it to them again both in the hotel welcome packages and leaving info at the reception venue allows people to make their own responsible choice. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/car-service-for-wedding#post-762796 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:33:48 +0000 whynot_31 762796@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>off topic response: Congrats on getting married d_luxx! </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/car-service-for-wedding#post-762795 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:24:41 +0000 d_luxx 762795@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Hi, guys. Hoping you peeps can help me out with something.<br /> I will need to provide transportation for my out of town guests from their hotel to my wedding(!) at the boathouse this summer. Im getting really, really , really stressed out about people getting lost trying to find the venue, and I want to just pay somebody to pick them up at point A and drop them off at point B. I'm equally stressed that whoever I hire to do this won't show up or something.<br /> Do you guys think I can trust any of the local car services (I was thinking eastern) to do this ? I checked out real wedding limos and "party buses" but they cost an arm and a leg and seem a bit shady. Any advice ? </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/puebla-express-call-service#post-762031 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:21:16 +0000 professionaltaxinyc 762031@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>We are a professional taxi service that operates with perfection.

It is very convenient, reliable and professional. It is also very expensive, at about $50 to JFK. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/taxi-company-recommendation#post-749786 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:18:57 +0000 Amighty 749786@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I'll second the AirTrain recommendation to JFK. The only caveat is that if you connect via the LIRR trains from Jamaica going to Atlantic Center are much less frequent than the ones to Penn Station. You can also use the A train. If you have just a few bags it really is the way to go.</p> <p>I like Family Taxi, but also use Evelyn, Legend, and Arecibo. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/taxi-company-recommendation#post-749783 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:20:43 +0000 flognoth 749783@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I've used Arecibo and Eastern in the past to both airports and even Newark. they've been good and usually showed up early. I just call the day before. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/taxi-company-recommendation#post-749782 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:05:07 +0000 homeowner 749782@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>If you're going to JFK, unless its really early or late I'd suggest LIRR at Atlantic Avenue to Airtrain. All total its about 25-30 minutes depending on what terminal you are going to and the LIRR actually runs fairly on time. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/taxi-company-recommendation#post-749780 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:40:56 +0000 BK164 749780@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>For airport trips, I always use Legends. They are professional and very reliable.<br /> For other quick trips, Evelyn or Arecibo are good choices. Not perfect. But good. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/taxi-company-recommendation#post-749775 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:44:26 +0000 AttilaTheFun 749775@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Hello fellow Prospect Heighters,</p> <p>I'm looking for a taxi company that:<br /> 1) Knows Brooklyn well enough to get me from here to LGA or JFK<br /> 2) Accepts credit cards without a crazy surcharge<br /> 3) Is reliable (ie not having to call back 5 times asking where your driver is)</p> <p>I've been using New Bell, but they have been a mess lately and I'm looking to try something new.
