TripAdvisor Review

"We hired the carriage to drive that Father of the Bride and the Bride to the wedding venue. What an arrival! The guest were all taking photos. It was a nice way for the two of them to chill before the big event. The driver took them on a nice little tour of NOLA before the wedding. It was worth every dime. Thanks, Royal Carriages."

Vincent & Amy

Vincent & Amy

In 2014, Vincent called Royal Carriages to set up a surprise marriage proposal on a carriage in New Orleans. He wanted this special moment to be unforgettable. In addition to purchasing a private carriage for his surprise marriage proposal, he also contacted a local photographer, Babs Evangelista, to capture the moment via her French Quarter balcony.

"I was agog at the sheer romance of his proposal and helped him concoct a plan that involved a balcony, a talented driver, and a very well-behaved mule. The carriage rounded the corner and I was ready with my zoom lens. It stopped beneath my balcony and BAM! Vincent presented a ring in a light up box. It was on. Amy was smiley and happy and of course said yes."

Brittany & Tyler

Brittany & Tyler

As is a tradition in New Orleans, Brittany & Tyler ended their wedding with a Second Line parade. The bride and groom carried feathered umbrellas as guests waved personalized handkerchiefs. As the parade came to an end, the couple climbed into their wedding carriage and took a relaxing ride through the French Quarter. "It was so magical getting to be alone, sip champagne, and listen to the sounds of the city," says Brittney. "I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ending."

Monica & Daniel

Meet Monica and Daniel who chose to have their ceremony at the very historic Immaculate Conception, and then it was only a short carriage ride away to the Federal Ballroom at the Security Center for their wedding reception. What an incredible way to celebrate forever together!

We had a great private mule carriage ride through the French Quarter and the Cemetery. Our guide Michelle was great. We learned a lot about the history of New Orleans. If we ever have the opportunity to return we will definitely take another tour with Royal Carriages.
