General Information

When looking to book our horse and carriage, there are a few things you need to consider.

The distances required, from Home to the Ceremony, to the Reception.

With a horse and carriage you are limited to the distance able to be travelled, not just for the welfare of the horses, but also for the time involved in travelling, as it takes considerably longer by horse than by car.

 The preparations for a horse and carriage wedding start days in advance, and very early on the actual day to ensure everything is perfect for you on your special day.

A large parking area is required for our lorry for loading and unloading, for harnessing and putting to.  So any suggestions of areas suitable would be greatly appreciated.

We dress the carriage in traditional white flowers and bows.  Should you wish to have another colour/theme, please let us know so we can discuss and make the necessary arrangements.

Please advise prior to booking if there are any significant hills on the journey so we may check these, we always drive the route required and will advise if there are any areas of concern, well in advance to ensure the route to be taken is safe and suitable.

We provide a complimentary glass of Champagne for the Bride and Groom on route to your Reception, should you be having a Civil Ceremony at the same location as your Reception, where ever possible we will establish a short route to take the Bride and Groom for a drive in order that you may enjoy your Champagne, prior to returning to greet your guests.

We carry a white golf size umbrella with us,  just in case it is needed walking from the carriage to the Church entrance.

We hold full Public Liability insurance with NFU Mutual.

Prior to booking, we recommend all clients to attend a wedding where we are providing our service, in order to see the full turnout of carriage and horses.
