Our Carriages
There are two white Vis a vis carriages and a Vis a vis Cinderella carriage to choose from. Vis a vis is French for face to face which refers to the arrangement of the seating compartment. The first seat faces the rear of the carriage and the second seat faces forward inviting a shared experience by all our guests.

It can be outfitted with the convertible top, white with matching buckskin liner, or with the Cinderella Pumpkin Carriage. Either carriage can be enhanced with silk flowers and/or lighting for an additional fee.
