Whether it's a wedding, a promenade, or any special occasion, a horse-drawn carriage can transform your event into a fairy-tale experience.
Planning Your Carriage Hire
Before embarking on your carriage hire journey, it's essential to understand your needs. Consider the theme of your event, the number of guests, and the route you wish to take. This will help in selecting the perfect carriage and horses that complement the occasion.
Selecting the Right Carriage
The style of the carriage should match the theme of your event. From elegant glass coaches to charming open-air carriages, we at Last Minute Travel offer a variety to suit your taste.
Choosing the Horses
The breed and colour of the horses can be just as important as the carriage itself. We provide well-groomed, majestic horses that will add grandeur to your entrance or departure.
Planning the Route
When planning the route, consider the distance and road conditions. It's important to ensure a smooth and safe journey for both the horses and the passengers.
Decor and Accessories
Customizing your carriage with flowers, ribbons, or banners can make it truly your own. We'll work with you to achieve the desired look within our carriage decor guidelines.
