Create an unforgettable memory with the timeless romance of a horse-drawn carriage — crafted by a farrier with over 30 years of devotion to the care, training, and well-being of these magnificent animals.
From intimate countryside ceremonies to grand celebrations, we bring elegance, tradition, and grace to your most important day.
Three decades beside the reins, the bridle, the road.
Every carriage I drive carries the weight of thirty years spent with horses — learning their cadence, their courage, and the quiet authority a good team brings to a wedding aisle or a birthday surprise.
I'm Paul McNamara, born and raised in the west of Ireland. I grew up working with horses on family land outside Galway. That Irish tradition of horsemanship — patient, deliberate, deeply respectful — is the same tradition I bring to every event in Sonoma and Marin.
We serve Sonoma, Marin, and the wine country in between. Estates, vineyards, country chapels, downtown squares. Whatever the occasion, the moment becomes unmistakably yours the second the horses appear at the gate.

There is no strength without unity

When the horses came around the bend, everyone stopped breathing. It was the moment of our wedding.
