What we'll ask you

Your request asks a few quick things, so vendors can price it right:

  1. Which horse-drawn carriage styles interest you?Cinderella carriage, Vis-à-vis carriage, Baraat horse
  2. Where will it go?
  3. What time should they start?

Houston notes

  • Summer heat limits horse work; expect earlier time slots June-September.
  • Houston storms pop up fast in spring and summer. Ask the vendor about their rain and wind policy, and have a backup spot.
