Our Carriage

Our carriage is an Amish-built Vis-a-Vis carriage. Vis-a-Vis is french for "face to face" since the passengers' seats face one another. It is an antique carriage that has just been restored to a beautiful and elegant presence. It is white with silver trim. The seats are upholstered in white vinyl and are very plush and comfortable. The carriage can accommadate anywhere from four to six passengers, one driver and one footman.

Each time our carriage goes out it is drawn by one horse and guided by one driver and a footman. The carriage is very easy to pull and steer. It glides almost by itself once it gets rolling. The horses find it no trouble at all. It is fitted with a fifth wheel, which makes it very safe and easier to turn. It is equipped with lights on the back and has carriage lamps on the front. Our Cinderella Pumpkin Top is also available to make your special day truly magical.

Two Styles to Choose From

A lovely Cinderella wedding up in St. Marys, GA.

Cinderella Style Carriage

The magical fairytale flare of the classic carriage is outfitted with a Cinderella style Pumpkin top. It has a total of eight heart decorations on it and leaf-like flourishes up at the top. Two of the hearts interlock at the rear of the carriage making for a picture perfect moment for the rear passengers.

Our first wedding held in Treaty Oak Park, Jacksonville, FL.

Classic Style Carriage

The Classic style carriage is very traditional. Elegant with enough presence that speaks for itself. This is the carriage just as it was designed to be driven like in the 1800s. Like something out of a movie. The perfect addition to any sort of event.

Look below for more information on decorating the horse carriage.

Decorating the Carriage

We include decorating the carriage in our service at no extra charge. The carriage can be decorated in rose garlands and handmade bows to accent it but you may request that the carriage be decorated any way that you like. Since the carriage is white, it can go with nearly any color scheme. There are many options on styles. If we don't have a garland color that fits with your color scheme, I suggest to use the white garlands as they match the carriage and your colors will stand out better. The colors that I have available of the rose garlands currently are:

White Rose Garlands

Pink Rose Garlands

Red Rose Garlands

Purple Rose Garlands

Below you'll find a description of the bows that we offer to decorate the horse carriage.

Handmade Bows

I make the bows and flower swags to decorate the carriage by hand. I request that you let me know if you have colors picked out for your event. If possible, please provide me with either pictures or swatches of the color so that I can try to match it with ribbons and flowers. This is something that we offer with the carriage at no additional charge. We want your carriage ride to be unique and special. So decorating the carriage to match your event is our pleasure. Here are just two examples of bows below. Colors of the wedding were candy apple red and white. So I used bright red ribbon with this neat white ribbon that had all these little fly-away tails on top of white carnation and rose swags.

An example of a candy apple red and white bow with white roses and carnation swag set at the back of the horse carriage.
