We were so pleased with Hitch-in-Time we would refer them to anyone who is having a wedding. My daughter Katherine has always wanted a horse and carriage for her wedding since she was 4 years old. When she told me she was getting married, I started looking. It took me a month but I found Ms. Linda. Katherine told me it was the highlight of her day besides marrying the groom of course. The pictures of the horse and carriage were beautiful. Ms. Linda was great to work with, reasonable priced, and I can't say enough how pleasantly please we were to have her there with her beautiful horse and carriage. She made sure the florals were beautiful. She made our day! Thanks again! Heidi Viola, Katherine Bee Radcliff and Tony Radcliff

There is simply something magical about a horse and carriage. It might be because it's something that you don't see everyday. It might be that is how relatives in your family got married and you'd like to continue the tradition. Maybe you love animals and horses as much as we do. Whatever your reason, adding a horse carriage rental to your wedding is classy and is always followed by a chorus of "Oh" and "Ah."
 
 
 
 
Your wedding is a fantasy. It is a dream come true. You've found your soul mate and now you are announcing to the world that you will be together forever. It is a cause for celebration and this special day can be whatever you want it to be. Let your imagination take flight. Do you want to feel like royalty or maybe even a princess for the day? Why not arrive like Cinderella?
 
 
 
 

The pace of the carriage is slower than a car, of course. This is a good thing because it gives you time to savour the moment and really let it become a part of your memory. You want to look back on all the little things of the day and just smile happily at the thought. Why not, it's your day.

 
 
 
 

As owner of Hitch-in-Time I have worked on a lot of weddings and seen a hundred fabulous ideas. Let me share with you some of my favorites.

 
 
 
 

1. Surprise! This one is my favorite. I love when the bride or groom organizes to have the carriage incorporated into the wedding but keeps it a surprise for their future spouse. It's amazing to watch their faces light up when they walk out and see a beautiful horse and carriage waiting patiently ready to escort them into their happily ever after.

 
     
 

2. Have the bride ride in with whoever is giving her away. After the ceremony, the bride and groom can ride away together afterward. Take a relaxing ride enjoying those special moments together before returning to the reception area to party the night away. This is the most popular idea.

 
     
 

3. Having the bride arrive by herself in our beautiful Victoria carriage adorned with white floral sprays and helped out of the carriage by her father or grandfather to be given away down the aisle is breathtaking.

 
     
 

4. Use it as a photo opportunity. It's unique. It's original and you'll probably not get a better time to snap a few photos. A lot of times, I've seen a lot of people only think about the travel that they need and forget about the photographer. Sure, he can catch a couple pictures of you coming and going but why not incorporate a time to actually take some pictures in the carriage before your ride. Make the memory really last a lifetime with a beautiful photo. My favorite photo is when the bride stands by Bingo and kisses his nose.

 
  5. Have a low budget for your wedding? There's nothing wrong with that. If you're cutting costs like having the wedding at home or at a park, you can really dress up the event by incorporating a carriage. It's an inexpensive way to add to your event.

  The Barat Celebration  
   
 

In a traditional Indian wedding, the rituals not only unite two individuals, but establishes the bond between two families and their culture.

The marriage ceremony, a colorful and joyous event, can be spread over several days. An important and most entertaining ceremony, takes place during the arrival of the groom at the wedding venue. The procession known as the Baraat, which is made up of the groom’s family members, relatives and friends, accompany him to the venue. They are known as the Barati.

On their arrival they are welcomed and received by the bride’s family. In his travels with the barati the groom rides upon an elephant or a beautiful horse know as the Ghodi. The Ghodi is adorned with decorations and ornaments. As the Barati travels along with the groom there is singing, dancing and the excitement of the dholi drummer.

Hitch-in-Time take's immense pride in the details. Your Ghodi will wear a one-of-a-kind, hand-made costume complete with ghungroo (anklets) and morki (crown). With umbrella and handlers dressed in traditional garb, we aim to make your Baraat like no other.

A Ghodi wearing an equally beautiful costume drawing a decorated carriage can also be provided for the post wedding ceremony known as the Vidai. This ceremony symbolizes a new journey for the bride as she leaves her parents, her friends and family members. Hitch-in-Time respects the emotional moments of this ceremony and allows you to take as much time as needed.
