Let me guide you through selecting the perfect one for your special day. With our extensive range of hire services, we ensure you find exactly what you need with ease and confidence.

Key Considerations

Choosing a horse and carriage for your wedding involves several important factors. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:

Style

Are you aiming for a fairy-tale, vintage, or classic theme? The style of the carriage sets the tone for your entrance and complements your wedding’s overall aesthetic.

Capacity

Consider the number of people who will be riding in the carriage. Will it be just the bride, or will there be room for the groom and perhaps a flower girl or page boy?

Weather

Oxfordshire’s weather can be unpredictable. Ensure you have a plan for all possibilities. Some carriages come with canopies or can be enclosed to protect against the elements.

Route

Plan your route meticulously. The distance between the pickup point and the venue, as well as the terrain, will influence your choice of horse and carriage.
