We provide kind, prompt, and safe transportation service for weddings all over the Rhode Island and the surrounding area.

Hire them now!

The best transportation company I have ever worked with!! I work with shuttle services for weddings every single week as a wedding planner, and I cannot recommend this company enough. Buddy helped us walk through the routes multiple times and was very responsive throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, John Q, John B, Bill, Phill & Phill were the absolute best drivers ever. Seriously, cannot recommend this company enough!! Thank you!!

Reliable Shuttle Service

Buddy and his team were AMAZING! The value was great, affordable with clean, modern and cute shuttles for our wedding party and guests. Buddy was so accommodating and worked with several revisions to the schedule. All of the drivers were pleasant, professional and so understanding even when our guests decided to sing the national anthem at 1am. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this company and highly recommend!

Wedding Transportation

I work in the hospitality industry and have recommended Experience RI to many clients and couples for their transportation needs. Now I can continue to highly recommend them based on the experience we had using them for my daughter's wedding. Buddy is a pleasure to work with and accommodated last minute changes without hesitation. The drivers were very professional, prompt and accommodating, even when our guests took their time leaving the wedding. I highly recommend Experience RI for your transportation needs!
