Everything I asked for. Everything she dreamed

This was a surprise to my now wife at our wedding this past weekend. She didn’t know or suspect a thing but was truly surprised and it added a beautiful touch to her fairy tale day. I can’t thank Marsha and her staff for making it happen. Definitely using them again

We engaged this company to provide horse rides for our seven grandchildren. Laurie showed up right on time and was very professional and competent from the start. Also a great trailer driver getting up our driveway!
Laurie was so patient and kind to all the kids, ranging from age 3 to 9 years old. I would highly recommend this company for your family event!

I love it !

I loved everything about carriages of the capital. They saved the say when the last people cancelled at the last min. Very professional and very friendly with the kids. Even allowed my kid to pull the horse as the other kids ride. Will use again for horse drawn carriage for next bday

Amazing!

Marcia and Magnolia brought a sense of magic to my daughters birthday party. Even during COVID, safety measures were put in place and she was respectful of everyone.

Magnolia was SO gentle with the kids, even a 14 month old was able to sit and ride on the saddle. Love love love the service and beautiful Unicorn Magnolia ;)

Had a great time, except for one incident

We were scared when the pony dropped one our party guests.

Hired as:
Pony Party
Carriages of the Capital

Response from Carriages of the Capital:

We were very sorry about the incident. Unfortunately on the very first ride our pony was badly stung by a biting insect (lots of blood) and expectedly jumped and the little girl did come off. She was uninjured and was able to help us with the pony meeting other children, and the pony behaved impeccably through the rest of the event. Although the hosts claimed they were scared, that did not stop anyone including the parents of the one year old birthday child from putting the kids on the pony following the incident. The remainder of the party was a huge success. I was very disappointed to see this review as I feel it was not an accurate review of the success of the party and performance of our pony. (Please note that the party hosts have provided a second, updated review with 5 stars.)

Awesome Experience! - Highlight of our Father's Day Reunion!

With 50 people attending our annual Father's Day Family Reunion, of which 10 were children, we called upon our friends at "Carriages of the Capital" yet again to provide lasting memories for all. Marcia knew exactly what was needed to make our reunion a big hit in the hearts of all with their beautiful and loving pony Pumpkin and majestic mare Magnolia. The children were amazed and thrilled to ride, feed & pet these wonderful and gentle animals, and so were many of the adults - with many reliving their own childhood memories of the fun of pony rides and horseback riding while lining up behind the children awaiting their own turn to ride!

The joy and memories made at our family reunion will last a lifetime. We are so grateful and blessed!

Thank you Marcia and "Carriages of the Capital"

Girls Birthday Party

Our experience was nothing short of incredible. Magnolia, the horse, was sweet, patient and a perfect fit for my nieces birthday party. The look on her face when she saw this beauty waiting outside was priceless. Marcia was well prepared, and managed to handle everything thrown her way. Her communication and professionalism was never wavering. She included each child into the horse rides, even when not riding, which I thought was extremely important. She made it such an exciting experience that even the adults took a turn. In addition she gave my niece a lot of insight on how to start her journey with horses, as she did. My niece made sure to mention all night long how this birthday, was the Best birthday thus far; and I have to agree!! I will definitely recommend, and/or book again!!!

Amazing Service!

Our organization reached out to Carriages after another company really let us down. We immediately were contacted, scheduled and they bent over backwards to help us. They came as promised and interacted amazingly with our guests. It was obvious Carriages crew wanted to be here! Our guests loved the horse And the crew from Carriages of the Capital. A beautiful evening of giving back to our community and Carriages was a big part of our 2018 story! Highly recommended!

Sweet 16 party

The horse and carriage helped to make my daughter's birthday absolutely magical. It was a surprise and she and her cousin were amazed. She loved all of the attention as riders by stopped to take pictures and comment on how beautiful she looked. They arrived in style and left her guests in shock. They even had blankets on hand as it was a chilly day. We had the option to put the top on if it rained, which was great since there was rain in the forecast. They thought of everything. The ladies were totally professional and gave any interested guests rides around the area. Everyone loved it! Would definitely recommend. You won't be disappointed...

Outstanding Service

I hired Carriages of the Capital (Pampered Party Ponies) services for my event and they were amazing! All staff were very professional and gave the most memorable experience to guests (children AND adults) at my event. This company was easy to work with and reliable. I wanted to write this review to share my great experience with others and hopefully help others with their Pony Ride vendor search.
If you want a professional and memorable Pony Ride experience, look no further!
