ONE of the most refined and elegant ways to arrive at your wedding in style is with a horse and carriage.

Many a bride has dreamt about a Cinderella-style wedding entrance, and White Horse Weddings’ carriage, led by handsome horses is about as close to a fairytale as you could achieve.

Based in Wickham Market, White Horse Weddings is owned and run by Sarah and David Robertson and has grown considerably since it first began more than 25 years ago. “We started with one horse and a home made carriage,” said Sarah.

David has 34 years driving experience including training and driving the Whitbread Brewery Shires, working with the Wadworth Shires and at the Vale of Dedham Heavy Horse Centre. The pair also own Valley Farm Riding and Driving Centre, where Sarah teaches the art of carriage driving.

With such a wealth of experience in the equine world, you can expect nothing but the best from White Horse Weddings.

The standard service from the business includes a sturdy and attractive, vintage-looking Landau carriage with two retractable hoods, and a pair or gorgeous Lipinzzaner-type grey Hungarians in full livery, as well as a fully trained coachman and groom.

Prices start from £565 and can be tailored to suit any needs, whether a Sikh wedding or something more traditional.
