What Carriage Styles Does Deep South Carriage, Inc. Offer for Weddings and Events?
Updated
Deep South Carriage, Inc. offers three different styles of horse-drawn carriages, according to the company's own description of its services. The right choice depends on the tone of your event: the company positions its carriages as suitable for everything from formal wedding transportation to a party for children. Because the site does not name or photograph each style individually, the practical next step is to contact the company directly and describe your event so they can match a carriage to it.
What the Company Says About Its Carriage Options
The website states plainly that Deep South Carriage, Inc. "offers three different styles of horse carriages for you to choose from." It also says there is "a horse carriage that will be perfect for your formal wedding transportation or a party for your children."
That is the full extent of the published detail on styles. The site does not list model names, seating capacities, colors, or open-versus-enclosed configurations for each of the three. Any specific comparison beyond "three styles" would have to come from the company itself.
Matching a Carriage Style to Your Event
Since the styles aren't individually described, the useful approach is to work backward from your event type. The company lists these occasions as suitable for a horse-drawn carriage:
- Weddings and wedding photography
- Prom and homecoming
- Birthday parties and anniversaries
- Graduations
- Church activities
- Romantic carriage rides in the country
- Trade shows, business openings, and promotional events
For a formal wedding, ask specifically about the carriage used for wedding transportation and how it photographs. For a children's party or prom, ask which style suits a more casual, celebratory atmosphere. The company frames a carriage as an alternative to a limousine — "the same service as a limo but with much more style" — so if you are comparing it to limo service, that is the company's own positioning.
Questions to Ask When You Call
Because the site leaves the three styles unnamed, these are the details worth confirming before you book:
- Which of the three styles fits a formal wedding? Ask for a description or photo.
- How many passengers does each carriage hold? Not stated on the site.
- Is the carriage open or enclosed? Relevant for weather and for photography.
- What does the carriage look like in photos? The company emphasizes wedding pictures specifically, so ask for sample images from past weddings.
- How far will you travel? This affects whether your location is served at all — see below.

Background That May Affect Your Choice
Two details from the company's own description are worth knowing when you decide:
- It has operated since 2005 and describes itself as family owned and operated, offering "elegance at a reasonable price." The site does not publish rates, so pricing has to be requested.
- A farrier is on staff, which the company presents as assurance that its horses are sound and well cared for. If animal welfare is part of your decision, this is a point you can ask about.
How to Move Forward
Contact the company with your event date, location, event type, and guest or passenger count, and ask which of the three carriage styles they recommend and why. The published contact details are:
- Phone: +1 601-866-9380
- Email: [email protected]
Ask for photos of each style before committing, since the website does not show them. That single request will tell you more about the three options than anything currently published.
