My fiancé and I found this wonderful limo service quite by accident. Needing a last-minute ride to the airport, Harrington was able to accommodate. Our driver arrived early and provided excellent service. When making our wedding plans, we decided to contact Harrington again. Frances assisted with all the plans. Thank goodness for her because there were some intricate details to the day. She assured us all would be well. Right she was! The nervous bride came out in me, but the chauffeur calmed all my fears. He arrived early, was professionally dressed, confirmed all details for the day, and off we went. Today, my husband and I continue to use Harrington for all our personal travel needs and know we can always feel free to contact Frances. As a whole, the company far exceeded my expectations!
