Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How early should I book for an event?
As soon as possible! It is not unusual to book Weddings more than a year in advance. However, they can be booked last minute. Ask us for availability, we would love to serve you.
Q: What areas do you serve?
We serve the Tri-State area. We will travel to Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Ilinois (ask about our Wedding Packages).
Q: What is the rental time?
We will arrive approximately 45 minutes before the event and stay until contract completion. Our Wedding packages have a base time of 2 hours.
Q: What if I would like additional time with the carriage?
We will stay longer. This needs to be decided beforehand and we charge per hour after that. This is in consideration of the horse. It can be a long day for him.
Q: What is included in the Wedding Package?
The package includes a decorated carriage, a "Just Married Sign", the decorations on the horse, which are designed to match your Wedding colors, the horse's mane and tail are beautifully braided, a professionally dressed driver and assistant, permits if required, and a complimentary bottle of champagne. The package also incorporates the transportation costs.

It is French for face to face. While riding in the carriage, the passengers face each other.
Q: I only need the carriage for a 20 minute ride. Is the cost less?
We're sorry, but no. We offer a basic minimum price for a Wedding. This covers the cost of transporting the horse and carriage to the event, decorating the carriage, and preparing the horse. Some clients offer rides to their guests after the bride and groom's ride during the remaining time.
