However, this range can vary depending on your location, travel costs, carriage requests, and other requirements that are specific to your event. Before booking, discuss the breakdown of costs with the professional. If it’s an hourly fee, ask if wait times are included in that fee.

A carriage company's livelihood depends upon caring properly for their animals so they work hard to ensure that the horses are clean, strong, and healthy. To keep them healthy, companies must feed them well and house them in clean barns and pastures. In order to keep the carriage horses safe and calm, they are also well-trained and acclimated to traffic and other conditions they often encounter at special events.
