We hired Noland's carriage to take guests on a ride around the neighborhood during our staff party for New Times. Everyone thought it was so much fun and such a festive addition. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Chad, you and Dutch did a fantastic job at our difficult hilly location! Seeing the carriage arrive from off in the distance lead by the bagpiper, was spectacular, and a definate jaw dropper. I was greatly impressed at your relocation speed to the reception site for our grand entrance. It worked perfectly. It was always a dream of mine to arrive by horse and carriage at my wedding, thanks for making my dream come true!! Thank you so much, Julianne Nicsinger - Cayucos

I would definitely recommend Noland's for your event! We have booked them for several years for our annual All Church Christmas Party. Everyone loves the carriage rides! Chad is professional, courteous, and very easy to work with.

Our original carriage had a conflict two weeks before my daughter's wedding. I started frantically calling every carriage provider in the central valley, nearly in hysterics. No one wanted to come all the way to Lemoore. I called Chad and he was a soothing voice and reassured me that my daughter would have her carriage! Chad was such a pleasure to work with, his carriage and horse were absolutely beautiful, and my daughter never knew there had even been a problem. I highly recommend Nolands.

Chad was a great addition to this event. His horse and carriage were the perfect enhancement.

Excellent service; positive attitude for the entire event; Chad could show up a little earlier (cuts it close).

I highly recommend Nolands Carriage! He was right on time, very professional, friendly, and made my wedding day even more special than I had expected! He picked up my bridesmaids and I from my hotel in SLO and delivered us to the ceremony at Dalidet Adobe. After the ceremony he paraded the bride and groom to the Mission for photos by the creek and back to Dalidet for the reception. He was very patient and compliant with the photographers. The service was excellent and the horse and driver are very well trained.

We called Noland's Carriage to make arrangements for our daughter's birthday party. Chad Noland was very professional and accommodating. Chad's expertise and wonderful service provided us a carriage ride through town which made for a wonderful and memorable birthday celebration. We highly recommend Noland's carriage and look forward to call upon their service again.

Thank you for helping make our day so special. The entrance you made with my now wife was fantastic and blew me away! It made me well up and put a tear in my eye!
I could not believe the local reaction in Santa Barbara as people were cheering and waving as we went along the sea front! The staff at Eladios said it’s the first time they have ever seen a horse drawn carriage in town let alone arrive at the restaurant.
So thanks again, and I hope my 2 bottles of water kept the horse going till he got back.
Best regards
