Whilst we offer several other services with our range of carriages, our wedding service is the one we enjoy the most, and who doesn't enjoy a good wedding!
 
We can adapt our service and cost to meet your individual requirements depending on distances of journeys, time etc.
 
Our usual service consists of taking the bride to the church, participating in all required photographs, taking bride and groom on to the reception and again participating in any further required photographs.
 
See FAQ page for other alternatives.
 
Even if the whole event is taking place at a licenced country hotel, we can still offer a service depending on the location facilities.

PRICES
 
For 2008 our prices start from £650 for our usual, full service but may be less depending on your specific requirements.
 
We will need to charge a few pounds extra for horsebox fuel if you live beyond 40miles distance from our premises.
 
Any advance booking taken between now and September 1st 2008 for a wedding in any coming year, so long as the date is confirmed and a deposit paid, will be charged at 2008 prices.
 
We charge a £150.00 deposit in order to confirm and hold your date and the balance is requested to be paid no later than two weeks prior to the wedding date.
 
Personalising
 
We can add ribbons to decorate the carriage and the horses in colours to match your bridal theme if requested but we must be careful not to spook the horses with long flapping streamers etc. We will be happy to advise you on what can be done.
 
The Toast
 
Every couple will be presented with a glass of champagne (the real stuff, not cheap sparkling wine like some of our competitors will offer you!) to drink a toast to each other prior to trotting off to the reception, though we do require the glasses back!
 
Weather
 
Unfortunately we can't control or anticipate the weather on your big day but we can ensure full protection from whatever the sky decides to throw at you.
The carriage can be fully closed, part closed or fully open. Click here for some details and more pictures.
We can also provide you with a couple of warm rugs for that frosty winter wedding.
 
Booking
 
Please use the enquiries page or contact us to make a booking. We will forward you a booking form in order to collect the main details.
Then we will meet with you to discuss the day in detail and to determine our route etc.
 
We would appreciate however, if you would inform us of any particular obstacles that might require us to make route changes and/or acquire permissions etc, as early as possible in order to ensure such changes can be made.
For example, steep hills, gates, cattle grids or routes through private parks etc.
 
You are also invited to our premises to say hello to the horses and to try the carriage for comfort and size before you make any final decisions.
