Wedding Horses
You can hear the familiar clickety clack of the horses hooves mixed with the gentle jingling sound of the harness as the horse-drawn carriage pulls up to the venue. Visions of yesteryear come to life as the horses stop and whinny, restlessly waiting for their elegantly dressed passengers to climb on board.
When the desire to introduce a bit of old-time romantic flare into an event such as a wedding or anniversary celebration arises, there is no better way than to employ the talents of a horse-drawn carriage and driver. For years wedding horses have been put to use in all aspects of celebrations from the entrance of the bride to actually getting married on horseback to transporting the entire wedding party. But not only are they for weddings; horses have been used in every kind of event form corporate parties to funerals, and everything in between.
When choosing a horse and carriage for your event, there are a couple of guidelines to follow. First and foremost, rent from a reputable business. Ask for references and check up on them because finding out during an event that a business is not all it proclaims to be can be a disaster. Also, be sure to choose one that does not hang its business sign or banner on any portion of the carriage or gear; the last thing someone wants to see on the day of their special event is an advertisement for services rendered.
Another thing that should be considered is the color scheme of the event. Perhaps white horses would be better suited to the gala than black or brown and keep with the other aspects of the design of the occasion. For instance, in a wedding making use of a white Cinderella carriage, dark colored horses would seem a mismatch.
Finally, find out the specifics of the services and what needs to be provided. Check to see who shall be responsible to find resting areas while the horses are not in use, clean-up responsibilities, and what would happen if the event runs over a certain amount of time agreed upon.
Following a few simple steps in choosing a business and team of horses for an event can save time and money, and also make the occasion run more smoothly. But rest assured, if adding a bit of charm to an event is needed, the addition of horses can make all the difference.
