Before the invention of the automobile, horse drawn vehicles were the major
form of transportation in the United States. After automobiles became available
to the average person, the use of horses and carriages greatly diminished. In recent
years, carriage driving has become popular both as a sport, show competitions,
as well as an elegant way to celebrate special occasions.

Horse drawn carriages today have become a very popular mode of transportation
for the bride and groom to go to and from their wedding. What could be more
romantic than arriving/departing your wedding in a beautiful Cinderella carriage?

If you do choose to have a horse drawn carriage at your wedding, here are
some questions you might want to ask a carriage service before deciding
on a particular company.

2. Most carriage companies charge by the hour, so does the hourly rate
start at the wedding or from the time the service leave their home location?

3. What is their refund policy in case of inclement weather and the carriage
is cancelled?

6. How street/people safe is the horse, is it accustomed to performing at
weddings? Loud music, applause, children coming up to pet the horse,
can be unnerving for some horses if they?re not experienced street
carriage horses.

7. Ask to see pictures of previous weddings the service has performed.
Is the carriage well maintained, does the horse look well groomed and
in good condition?

8. What permits are needed for the location of your wedding and
does the carriage company handle the paper work for the permit?

9. Ask that a route and time of arrival for the carriage be established
in the contract.

10.Ask the carriage company if the driver can dress to fit the attire of
your wedding, i.e., western, formal, victorian.
