Central & Eastern Connecticut Wedding Celebrations

From the carriages to the horses, proper attire to etiquette, and with a meticulous eye for historical detail, our carriages will carry you away to the Victorian Age. We travel all over New England and the Tri State area for Weddings, City and Town Events, Festivals, Parades, Parties, and Film Parts.

Our carriages have been featured in many Hollywood movies and may be seen at Mystic Seaport and other venues throughout the year.

Many different carriages available, some fully enclosed, accommodating up to 20 adults.
