Weddings   

Carriages used for outside weddings can be breath taking. Wedding parties use our carriages to bring the bride and bridal party to the ceremony and again to whisk the bride and groom away in style.  Of course our driver will be in formal attire. We can arrange for a "fake" departure immediately after the ceremony so the bride and groom have a moment of peace and relaxation before the reception. We can be available at the ceremony location and/or the reception for pictures. This also gives the guests a chance to disperse.

Ceremonies held within a church have used the carriages several ways. We can take just the bride and groom to the ceremony or, we can transport the entire wedding party to the ceremony or the reception afterwards. We can use the carriage and wagons simultaneously. If you just want transportation to the reception, we can show up at the church immediately after the ceremony.

We are very flexible and want you to be able to use our services to your maximum advantage. We have had the bride throw her bouquet from the carriage when leaving the reception which allows for an excellent photo opportunity as one example. Let us help you plan the ideal use for our horse drawn carriage and wagons. Call us and let us discuss your needs.

Vehicles available for hire

Vis-à-Vis Carriage - authentic Victorian carriage.  Frequently used for Weddings, the Vis-à-vis is the traditional “Cinderella” carriage. The carriage seats 4 - 6 adults and is white with burgundy velvet seats and a soft convertible top.  Our vis-à-vis is equipped with hydraulic brakes and running lights for safety.  The Vis-à-vis has a low doorway with a step to make entrances and departures elegant and easy.  We are able to decorate the carriage for your special occasion.  

Wagons - Our ‘people mover’ wagons comfortably seat 10 - 14 people and have rubber tires for improved comfort. The wagon has sides and rear entry steps for easy access. There are two long bench seats that run the length of the wagon.  

We also have an authentic Farm Wagon available.  The wagon is from the 19th Century and in excellent, original condition.

The Horses

Our horse drawn carriages wouldn't go anywhere if it were not for the loving devotion of our horses. All the driving horses we use are Draft Horses, either Clydesdales or Percherons.

Williams Ranch is the home of Laurelvale Clydesdales.  Please click here for more information on our Clydesdale horses.

Our horses receive the best of care and nutrition at all times. We breed, show, ride and drive our draft horses. Please visit our website to see more pictures of our farm and our horses.

Our horses are worked, groomed and cared for on a regular basis.  They live in beautiful large irrigated pastures and have indoor stalls available when needed. All of our working horses are shod with special shoes and shock absorbing pads on their hoofs.
