Horse & Carriage Wedding

For the bride and groom looking to make a grand entrance on their big day, a horse drawn carriage is one way to do it. Departing from the main section of town near the casino area, your carriage will carry you through the city like royalty for a romantic jaunt to your destination, a private beach conveniently located in South Lake Tahoe.

Your wedding will take place at The Arch at Lakeside Beach on the water’s edge, a remarkable setting where you and your guests will celebrate a very special day.The wedding area is quite spacious and can accommodate large parties of up to 75 people. Seating is provided for all attending in addition to a decorative arbor for your ceremony.

A staff member of this private resort will greet your guests as they arrive and offer assistance to help ensure a stress-free wedding. As your guests anticipate your horse and carriage arrival, they can relax and enjoy the scenic panorama.

The carriage can accommodate four to six people, so the bride and groom can choose to have elect members of their wedding party, parents, specified guests, or any combination thereof to accompany them on the leisurely stroll through town. The memorable ride will create a lasting impression and compliment your grand occasion.

As an option (for an additional fee), your carriage can await the duration of your beach wedding and then bring you to your chosen reception venue or other selected destination (must be located within approximately 1/2 mile of the ceremony site). If you find it desirable to have a champagne toast along the way in celebration of your new marriage, feel free to bring your favorite sparkling wine.
