Frequently asked questions about carriages for events

What is the difference between a horse-drawn carriage and a decorative carriage without horses?

The decorative carriages in this category are ornamental vehicles that do not require animal traction: they can be towed by a motor vehicle or move autonomously. This makes them more accessible in urban areas or locations with traffic restrictions, easier to manage logistically, and generally more affordable than horse-drawn carriages.

Can the carriage decoration be personalised for the wedding?

Yes. Most carriage providers for weddings offer full personalisation: flower colours, ribbons, fabrics, lighting and themed elements to match the overall event décor. It is recommended to share the wedding moodboard or colour palette with the provider when confirming the booking.

Can decorative carriages circulate in urban areas?

This depends on the municipality and local traffic regulations. In historic centres or areas with circulation restrictions, a special permit from the town hall may be required. The carriage provider usually knows the local regulations and can advise you on the necessary permits and permitted routes.

How far in advance should I book a carriage for my wedding or communion?

It is recommended to book at least two to four months in advance for weddings and communions, as the most popular dates (May, June, September and October) fill up quickly. For events requiring a custom-designed carriage, the ideal lead time is four to six months to allow for preparation and personalisation of the vehicle.
