Reservation Information
The driver and assistant come dressed in attire that relates to the event (i.e. formal for weddings, western for wagon rides, etc.), unless you have another preference. We can accommodate your needs, and we operate day or night. All vehicles have lights for evening operation.
Your safety and the safety of our horses are our utmost concern. Our horses are well trained and experienced in traffic. However, we do not take unnecessary chances. We ask that you do not request your carriage ride on roads with a speed limit over 35 mph otherwise we will require a police escort. We can help find an alternative route. We serve all of Florida.
Call us at (407) 433-1099 to schedule one of our horsedrawn carriages or other vehicles for your special event. Call or e-mail for a quote today!
Reservation F.A.Q.s
How far ahead do I need to book?
To ensure that you get the date that you want, you should book at least 12 weeks in advance. However, always call or e-mail in case we have a cancellation and are available on your date.
Do we need special permits?
No. The horse and carriage have the same “rights” to the road as any other vehicle. We are, however, limited to roads of 35 miles per hour or less. If you are having an event within a homeowner’s association, you should check with them to see if you require a permit.
How far can we travel in the carriage?
A thirty-minute ride covers about 1½ miles. We do restrict the distance when the temperature reaches 92 degrees. To allow time for pictures, etc. the longest distance you should travel is 2 miles. You don’t want your guests waiting too long at the reception for the arrival of the guests of honor.
When does my time start?
Your time with the horse and carriage begins when we arrive at the time and destination requested on your contract.
What if I want to extend the time of the horse and carriage?
If you should need additional time, a fair rate can be discussed. The horse and carriage is booked for a minimum of 2 hours.
How do I make my payments?
Your event can be purchased in several different ways. We accept checks ahead of time, PayPal and Zelle. Events must be paid for in full, 7 days prior to your starting date.
What about gratuities?
Although gratuities are greatly appreciated by the driver, they are between you and the driver and are not included in the price quotes.
Do you always have a driver and attendant?
We always come in pairs.
