The carriage is painted a striking gloss black with sophisticated gold trim and brass lanterns.

  • Sue Tilbury

    The addition of having the beautiful carriage and horses, turned my daughters wedding day into an absolutely amazing one. The horses looked perfect, were impeccably behaved and the carriage looked stunning. Julie and her partner looked wonderful in their uniforms and with all these elements together, it really was magical. From the first time I contacted Julie I felt very confident that it would be perfect and it certainly was. A lot of care was taken over the details before the event and were discussed well in advance of the wedding which was very reassuring. I can't say thank you enough.

  • Jacqueline Janes

    The entire experience of dealing with the Horse Drawn Carriage Company was excellent from start to finish. I made several phone calls to them arranging a Carriage for my Daughters wedding and each time they were extremely helpful. It wasn't a straightforward booking as the couple were not leaving the venue , but they were determined that the Bride and Groom would have a Carriage ride and they did ! A very pretty carriage decorated with flowers and Champagne as well, not forgetting of course Tommy and Charlie the beautiful horses.

  • Claire and Alex

    Nothing less than a first class service! Julie was a pleasure to deal with and the ride was perfect to relax on after our ceremony. A fairytale dream come true, highly recommended!
