If you’re thinking of hiring a horse-drawn carriage or vintage car for your reception, you might want to book early. The carriage rental will fill up during wedding season, May-September, really fast. It will also be hard to secure on holidays such as Valentines and Christmas Eve. Depending on how far you want to ride in the carriage will depend the extra price. Horse-drawn carriages usually travel about 3-4 miles per hour.

A limo rental company many only have 1 or 2 classic cars for rent because of the expensive purchase price and required maintenance. For this reason, it is suggested you book at least one year in advance. A bride should also be aware that the classic cars are smaller and therefore cannot fit a whole bridal party inside; usually only the bride and groom can ride. You are also not likely to be able to drive the car away for obvious liability reasons.

Carriage rides will cost anywhere from $300-$700 depending on the time requested. A classic car will cost $500-$1000.
