Our Carriages

The Cinderella

The Cinderella (pictured above) is a brand new, all custom creation made to our exact specifications. The Cinderella seats 6 adults comfortably in its half-circle seats. The Cinderella is a spectacular carriage all by itself and is also very pretty decorated. We have a limited supply of decorations that can be added to the Cinderella at no additional cost, or you may wish to have us work with your florist for a custom look.

The Victoria

The Victoria is our only antique carriage. The Victoria seats 2 adults and one small child. No longer perfect, The Victoria’s color is slightly off white from age and the upholstery is slightly faded. While none of this is obvious in photos it adds to this carriage's charm in person. The Victoria has a rare folding clam shell top and has a rainproof lap drape that hooks into the top to keep passengers dry in wet weather. The Victoria is our most intimate couple carriage, and is styled exactly after the royal carriages of Queen Victoria.

The Vis-à-Vis

The Vis-à-Vis (pictured below) is a brand new Amish-built carriage. The carriage was built by the Yoder family of Indiana. The name Vis-à-vis is French for “face to face” as the seats for passengers face one another. The Vis-à-vis seats 4 adults comfortably. Two smaller children can also ride with the adults. The Vis-à-vis style is the type of carriage that is often seen used in nightly downtown carriage rides. The Vis-à-vis is what many people picture when they think of horse drawn carriages.

The Driver

Your driver will be outfitted in custom riding boots, breeches, top hat, formal coat or vest, and bow tie. His or her clothes must be professionally cleaned and starched before each event. Your drivers are all experienced horsemen. They are trained and knowledgeable in how to keep the horse obedient in circumstances far beyond what most horses are ever required to contend with.

The Footman

Your Princess's Carriage Service includes the services of a footman. A footman is a formally attired attendant that stays with the horses' head during all loading and unloading of passengers. The footman is in addition to your driver who handles the reins and is provided as part of your service at no additional charge.

Many jobs require at least one, and sometimes two grooms along to help load and unload the carriages and do any last minute cleaning to the horse and carraige needed as a result of transport.

The Horses

Which brings us to tell you a bit about Our Horses. We use only proven carriage horses. Our horses are carefully selected especially for their compatibility for use as a carriage horse. They must have what it takes for the commercial carriage industry. It truly takes a special kind of horse. They must be willing, obedient, and fearless. We gladly pay dearly for experienced horses because we know they are worth their weight in gold!

It's Not Your Grandpa's Buggy

Our carriages are truly fit for a princess. They are hand crafted by superb carriage makers and custom built to perfection. It takes months and months to build a Princess's Carriage. The cost of each of our horse and carriage ensembles is as much as most new cars.

A lot of unseen work goes into bringing you a Princess's Carriage. Days and even weeks of preparation go into ensuring you a safe and enjoyable experience with a horse and carriage that arrives at your event in flawless and impeccable condition. Carriages and harness must be cleaned, and the horses must be bathed and groomed. That in itself is no small feat with a draft horse, much less white ones.

Regardless of which carriage you decide on, always know that your Princess Carriage is always garaged between special events. Our carriages are kept in immaculate condition and never abused with the wear and tear of nightly rides. We truly keep our carriages fit for a Princess!

While we enjoy a perfect Safety record, a Princess's Carriage always comes to you fully insured. In short, it's not your Grandpa's buggy.
