If you have always dreamed of incorporating the nostalgia of a horse-drawn vehicle on your special day, consider our formal wagon or carriage wedding package!
For weddings, the carriage or wagon can deliver the bride, groom, and/or wedding party to the ceremony or reception, offer your guests a relaxing ride around the area to give them unique entertaintment, or even provide transport to and from the honeymoon or guest hotels (within reasonable distance). Depending on location and other details, we can possibly even offer BOTH vehicles--a single-horse pulling the Vis-a-Vis for the bride and groom, and a team of horses pulling the wagon for the rest of the wedding party. (This offering is only available on very limited, local basis due to transport restrictions!)
This package is designed for weddings, but could certainly apply to any event that you desire to make extra special!
