Perfect service!

Perfect service! Because of Covid I didn’t throw my daughter a party but I still wanted her to have a great experience for her birthday. And they gave her a great princess experience she was thrilled. She wants to go back and we may have to invite some friends and donut again next year. Love it! Thank you.

What to expect

We provide horse/mule-drawn carriages for events of all kinds. Our packages start at an hour and increase from there. The carriages and horses/mules are meticulously cleaned and then decorated with greenery, silk flowers, and ribbons. Carriages are listed, with pictures, on our website and all of our social media accounts. Once you decide which carriage you would like and have an event location, it takes a signed contract and a $100 non-refundable deposit to hold the date.

We are always happy to discuss what your vision is for the event you’re having and to answer any questions you might have. We also have a copy of our insurance available for any venues that would like a copy.

About

What started as one man’s passion in life has become a family legacy. Fontes Carriages was started after the loss of our grandfather. He guided our passion for carriage driving and helped mold us into who we are today. We are honored to continue the family tradition and share our beautiful horses, mules, and carriages with those around us. It is our pleasure to bring that special flair to your special day.

We provide carriages and wagons for many types of events. We’re happy to sit down with you to discuss whatever your needs might be. Maybe you’re having a wedding. Let us whisk you away so you may arrive like royalty at your event. When your event is finished, we will carry you and that special someone “off into the sunset” with a privet carriage ride around the venue.

Were you thinking of a corporate event? No problem. We are accommodating and can provide everything from wagon rides that can seat up to 12 passengers, to formal carriage rides to make that company picnic or Christmas party memorable.

Were you thinking of advertising? Not an issue. Our wagons can accommodate banners, signage, and anything else you might want to use to promote your business/event. How about parades? We do those too! We’ve got a lot of experience with holiday parades as well as local cultural events. Our experienced drivers and horses are used to the loud bands, sirens, traffic, and trains being around them.

Whatever your needs might be, whatever event you’re planning, give us a call and we’ll help make it a memorable one!

Additional booking notes

We are all about making your event something special! We are happy to accommodate many things, but unfortunately, we are not able to permit drones around the horses or mules. We do our best to desensitize all of our horses/mules to as many things as we can. However, the sounds that drones make and the way that they hover, are just scary. For the safety of everyone involved we no longer permit them around the horses/mules or carriages. We're sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.
