We are located in Ohio, so we cover a majority of the
eastern half of Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and northern
West Virginia. See our full list of
carriage services
to find the right fit for your event.
Both horse and carriage are transported by truck & trailer to your event, and then hitched up on site.
Our prices are not flat rate, but based your specific event. We base things on how far we need to travel (total mileage/time invested), carriage type,
expenses, any other requirements to complete your event, etc. Almost everything is included into the base rate.
We require a down payment of 50% of your total balance (though pending when a booking is taking place, sometimes the entire balance is due at once).
Credit Card Only (paid online).
Although gratuities are greatly appreciated by the driver, they are between you and the driver and are not included in the price quotes.
We always say the sooner the better, as we generally book up quickly.
Every situation will be different and would be handled case by case.
In a lot of cases we can still do your event or a condensed version
of it as long as there are no safety issues. Many of our
carriages
have tops and some have clear enclosures that wrap around the outside.
Usually no. The horse and carriage has the same rights to the road as any other vehicle. However, if you're planning an event at a local park or other
private property, you will need to get permission from the owners for us to be on their property.
Yes, for some events we do, we try to match your events theme colors the best we can.
For formal events the driver wears a tuxedo and top hat, less formal attire is also available. However, if you have a themed wedding, we can try to meet
your needs with those also. For other events professional, warmth oriented attire is worn.
The horses wear 'diapers/shoots' which catch the manure.
