This experience was the cherry on top - if you are on the fence - book them now!

I cannot say enough about Elizabeth, Samson (the real GOAT - I mean Horse) and this vendor. Wow, if your wedding is in the vicinity where they can get to you, book them now. We booked this as a surprise for our daughter to take her from the wedding venue to her bed and breakfast and when they pulled around and she saw them for the first time, it was a moment that was absolutely priceless. Elizabeth was so easy to work with and I went back and forth on a time to arrive because of the sunset time and she was just great. We had small children at the venue so we booked a little extra time so Samson could take the kids up the street and they were so patient and kind with everyone who wanted pictures etc. My daughter felt like a princess and told us that this was the best part of her day (second only to marrying her prince). Please, get on their calendar, you will not regret it.

I would Highly recommend using Carolina Horse and Carriage as your "Get Away" Transportation. This was a surprise for my husband. You should have seen the expression on his face as Sampson galloped up the drive to carry us away from our country wedding held at the Cabin on The Hill in Pisgah Forest, NC. The Oooohhhhs and Aaaaahhhhs could be heard all over as the crowd moved from the tent to the edge of the drive to watch the decorated carriage arrive! It was wonderful! I had heard originally heard about CHC through the local tourist center.

Carolina Horse and Carriage provided amazing services and value to make my wedding a very special day for us and all of our guests. Elizabeth provided her horse Big John, Vis-a-Vis carriage, and two drivers for my wedding at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa. This was a surprise for the wedding party and all the guests. Elizabeth was set-up early and was very flexible and patient with our wedding party. The carriage took my Bride and her father from the Inn to the wedding isle at the Lake Lure Park. The Bride's father thoroughly enjoyed the drivers attentiveness and time to relax with his daughter. The carriage then circled out of view and waited for the ceremony and pictures to be completed. Then the carriage circled back to return the Bride and Groom to the reception, what an amazing entry we made. It was also great to spend a couple moments of relaxed time with my new Bride. The flower girls were also very happy to ride the carriage back to the Inn, oh what a dream come true.

LOVED! Carolina Horse and Carriage did an amazing job as wedding transportation. My husband and I left the reception in the beautiful carriage that was nicely decorated and it rode us around our town. We enjoyed the ride SO much! The two ladies that were driving us were super nice and friendly. The carriage ride was the perfect end to the night.

I have ridden horses all of my life and so of course I had to have a horse and carriage at my wedding! Liz was fabulous to work with, she had great horses and beautiful carriages. We were even allowed to decorate the antique carriage with poms in our wedding colors. Big John was a wonderfully sweet Belgian who pulled the carriage. Although he tried to eat my bouquet, he was still lovely:) I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful way to arrive to my ceremony. Liz was prompt, perfectly turned out and Big John was gleaming.

We rented the white carriage and horse for my son and his new bride. Everyone at the church was so excited when the driver arrived and the carriage was decorated with white flowers and a Just Married sign on the back. Not only was the carriage and horse beautiful but the driver was also dressed for the occasion. I highly recommend Carolina Carriage for any one that wants a memorable occasion.

The horse and carriage was exactly what we had hoped it would be for the perfect ending of the perfect wedding day for them!
