It was one of the highlight of my daughter's wedding when Art of the Shenandoah Carriage Company arrived at the Norris House Inn with the majestic looking horses and the beautiful carriage to take the newlyweds to the restaurant for their wedding dinner. I had been in contact with Art's wife, Linda, a few months prior to the wedding and she could not have been more pleasant and accommodating as we made plans to have the horses and carriage for the wedding. Art looked terrific in his top hat and tails and I appreciate so much his patience (as well as that of the horses) as they waited for the photographer to finish with the photo taking. Thank you, Linda and Art, for adding unforgetable memories to my daughter's wedding.

A touch of “Old World Elegance” is the only way I can describe the addition of the horse and carriage from Shenandoah Carriage Company, for our daughter’s wedding on June 16, 2007. And the photographs captured by our photographer with the horse and carriage as the backdrop, are our favorite images from the entire wedding.
Linda and Art are true professionals, who apparently love what they do for occasions such as weddings, and other special events. From my first contact with Linda to secure the date, through the site visit with Art to determine the route and photographic locations, right up to the wedding day, I was impressed with the professionalism, and willingness to accommodate our desires.
On the wedding day they were punctual (very important) and everything was perfect. The horses groomed, the carriage beautifully decorated, Art in his top hat and tails, and not only did Art (the driver) provide Emily and Michael a wonderful ride, but also provided Emily with a bottled water, when she started to feel faint during the photo session. This was above and beyond the call of duty in my book.
If you are considering the possibility of a horse and carriage ride for your special event, take my word for it, “It is truly a Touch of Elegance!” And Linda and Art with the Shenandoah Carriage Company are the very best.

Our carriage ride was our favorite part of our wedding reception. It was a wonderful time for just the two of us to spend together traveling through the beautiful foliage of a Virginia afternoon. When we arrived at the carriage, it was decorated beautifully & matched my wedding flowrs & colors perfectly. We have many beautiful pictures from our wedding day but none have recieved more compliments than those from our carriage ride. You gave the bride & groom a reception entrance perfect for a Virginia Bride, one that our guests have told us they will never forget. Thank you for a memorable experience that contributed to the joy of our wedding day.

From the moment I started working with Linda at Shenandoah Carriage Company to the day of my daughter's wedding, I knew that I was dealing with a true professional. Linda's husband, Art, was kind enough to meet my daughter and me at the wedding venue even though it was a long trip for a short meeting. The white, lacy pumpkin carriage was so beautiful and just what my daughter wanted for her "Happily Ever After" wedding. The elegant carriage was just the right size for the bride and groom. The horses were gorgeous, and the inside/outside of the carriage looked great. Art looked regal in his tuxedo and top hat. Thanks for making Katy and Ben's wedding day so special. Regards, Pat Sellers

I don’t think there are enough positive adjectives to express our appreciation. From the moment we contacted Linda in January until April 21, 2007, the day of the wedding, we never doubted for one moment that this company would live up to our expectations.
The degree of professionalism throughout the planning process and the actual wedding day couldn’t have been higher.
On the day of the wedding, the horses were immaculately groomed, the carriage was spotless and elegantly decorated, while the driver (Linda’s husband) was outstanding in appearance, personality, and professionalism. Everything was in its designated location well before the ceremony, and the carriage ride was perfectly timed to deliver the Bride and her father at just the right moment.
Shenandoah Carriage Company added in so many ways to making the wedding a day of memories which will be held dear to the Bride, Groom, Father and Mother of-the-Bride for many, many years to come. Needless to say we highly recommend Shenandoah Carriage Company.

We are SO HAPPY we spent the money to hire a carriage for our daughter's wedding! I have to admit that when I first saw the 'Cinderella Carriage' I thought 'Oh jeez.' But it was a tremendously popular addition to the ceremony; everyone LOVED it!
Linda and the driver looked great, and treated everyone like family, giving rides to whoever wanted to go for a spin.
Thanks so much for making the day truly special.

Dear Linda,
I want to thank you and Art for the wonderful service at the wedding last weekend. The weather did cooperate and the wedding was absolutely beautiful. The carriage ride was a highlight for Sean and Allison and made their day even more special as they had a chance to regroup and eat a bite while riding through the lovely grounds at Long Branch. I could actually hear a collective "ahh" from the guests as the beautiful horses pulled up right on cue after the ceremony and loaded the bride and groom into the carriage. It added a quite classy touch to an already wonderful and personal ceremony...and the look on Allison and Sean's faces as they drove away was priceless! I also say thanks to Art for his patience in waiting for the ring bearer to finish his picture duties before getting into the carriage for his ride with his brothers. Those 3 little boys were absolutely delighted with the ride and thanked me many times for allowing them to go. The photographer was wild about taking pictures of the carriage and I am sure she got some terrific shots of the bride and groom.....
Thanks again for your service...
