Perfectly done! We used G&F Carriages for my grandma's funeral, and everything was exactly as I imagined. They helped make the day even more special and unique, just as she was. Vickie was always just a text away whenever I had questions and responded quickly every time, which made the entire process so much less stressful. Thank you, G&F Carriages, for your professionalism, kindness, and for helping us honor my grandma with such a beautiful and memorable service. I highly recommend them. read more

G & F Carriages - The Horse & Carriage carrying my grandma - Party Equipment Rentals Near Me - Bloomington, California

Vickie provided a horse and carriage package for my aunt's funeral. Vickie was kind and helpful throughout the process. The carriage was beautiful and the horses handled the incline of the cemetery very well. I had told Vickie that my aunt was very glamorous and loved fashion/accessories. In addition to pink feathers for her horses, she also gave them sparkly pink polish on their hooves, and had light pink glitter on their coats. It was a very touching way to send off my beautiful aunt, and Vickie made it feel less like a business transaction and more like a friend helping a family. read more

I want to sincerely thank G & F Carriages for the beautiful and dignified horse and carriage service they provided for my mother's funeral. Losing her has been incredibly difficult, but this meaningful touch brought a sense of peace, elegance, and timeless grace to her final journey. The horses were immaculate and well cared for, and the carriage was absolutely stunning. The team was professional, compassionate, and respectful throughout the entire process. They coordinated everything seamlessly. Many of our guests commented on how moving and memorable the procession was. Thank you for helping us say goodbye with such grace and care. read more

From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of me and my family, thank you G & F Carriages. We appreciate every detail and respect brought forth the day of our mom's final service. Everybody still speaks about how elegant our mom's carriage was and it just wouldn't be our mom if we didn't have an escort fit for the Queen she was. The communication between funeral home, your business and ourselves was smooth, there was never a worry or stress about this part of our mom's day. We loved how the different details of pink and white between the carriage and horse was done matching to our mom's service colors, beautifully done. The driver was so respectful and we never felt rushed as she guided our mom on the walk to her final resting place. Thank you G & F Carriages for your service, God bless. read more

G&F C my mind. We are so much in common at the same time arriages has a wide variety of carriages for all events

I used G&F Carriages to carry my brother to his final resting place. BEST DECISION EVER. They took care of everything. I was left with absolutely no worries. You book, you pay, and they take care of the rest. They did all of the coordinating between the funeral home the mortuary, etc. I didn't have to worry about a thing! It was absolutely beautiful, regal. Exactly what my brother deserved. I will miss him dearly, but I will always cherish the moment with G & F carriages as we watched the beautiful, final entrance. The bonus is this..... in my time of grief, I received daily devotionals for over three months after my brother's passing. It was like I was more than just a customer. She cared about me as a person, my heart, during my time of grief. Money can't buy that! This is a that cares, truly!! read more

Used G&F Carriages to drive the newlywed couple to the reception/dinner and they were awesome! Not only was everything perfectly on time (dealing with animals never goes as planed) but it was all perfect. I didn't realize they could drive the carriage on the streets and the surprise was not only incredible for the couple but also the people on the streets. Again, everything was perfect and I'd recommend them to everyone read more

This past Christmas I went to downtown Riverside to check out the Festival of Lights. Upon arrival, it was magical! There were tons of lights everywhere and people being carried by horse driven carriages adorned with MORE LIGHTS! My family and I immediately thought, "WE HAVE TO TRY THAT!". While in route to the customer service desk we observed several working horses that were visibly tired, dirty, frail, and salivating profusely---I don't think that is normal. When we finally got to the desk we were greeted by a disgruntled employee who was not at all happy to serve us. We also witnessed one of the handlers punch a horse in the chest for head butting another horse....It was totally ridiculous and at that point we decided not to participate in the animal cruelty that G and F Carriages was serving up. Bottom line: It appears that G and F carriages does not take good care of their horses and the Animal Humane Society needs to step in, like YESTERDAY! They are using the horses from sun up to sun down during the festival with little to no rest. NOT OK! read more

There aren't enough words to express how happy I am with G&F Carriages. From my very first phone call I knew this was going to be an excellent choice. They were very sweet and more than accommodating. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for horse & carriage services. My family is truly grateful for their kindness and professionalism while we had to bury our beloved grandmother. Thank you all again read more

We had the pleasure of working with Vickie and her team twice. Unfortunately, the first time was for my grandmothers burial & the second time for our wedding. Vickie provided excellent service in both occasions. Her team even helped me in placing my veil before mass on my wedding day, boy did we have trouble with that before their assistance! At all times, Vickie and her team mentioned how beautiful everything looked making us feel special on our day! Vickie's brother in law took some professional photos that day, capturing beautiful moments between my husband and I alone away from everyone taking in the fairytale moment we were experiencing. Would definitely recommend them! read more

We couldn't have been more happy with G & F Carriage services. They arrived early, to start right on time with a beautiful entrance. Everyone's eyes lit up. It was so magical. Needless to say our daughter was beyond herself, as they paraded her around to announce the beautiful "Quinceañera". Our guest were also able to enjoy the carriage ride. My husbands parents whom just celebrated 51 years of marriage were so excited to board the carriage. And surprisingly the boys enjoyed the ride as much as girls. This was a perfect touch in making our event both magical and memorable for everyone. Sending a big thank you G & F Carriages and their staff for helping us select from the carriage color to the color of the horses feather. read more

Great company, great horses, and knowledgeable horseman. I asked G&F if perhaps my barn assistant could get some guidance or a lesson with driving, (which I know is not their normal line of business), but without hesitation this great family said yes. The lesson and experience was incredible. So much knowledge taught. G & F went above and beyond anything I expected. It was truly an amazing day that will never be forgotten and we came away with so much to practice. Thank you G & F. read more

I recently had my wedding and I always dreamed of having a horse and carriage at my wedding, so many people said it was for quinceañeras but I just went all out and got the Cinderella carriage it was beautiful and perfect for my entrance.

We only hired him for an hour and he ended up staying a lot longer without extra change thank you so very much for making this day even more special and perfect!!

I have been wanting to do a Horse Drawn carriage during this holiday season. I found the company on Facebook and asked them if they were doing rides on News Years Eve. I got a prompt response on hours and how much. When we got to Victoria Gardens we found the area and waited in line. There was only one group in front of us. Our ride was perfect! We had a warm blanket and a romantic trip around the area. It was the perfect start to our New Years Eve date! read more

Sent a horse for training to a carriage. I was grossly misled in pricing and not updated. When we picked him up inwas shocked of his condition. When i entrusted them with his care he didnt have a blemish on him, beautiful young Arabian stallion with no training. What i got back was a flinchy CUT UP, SCARRED UP, AND FRESH WOUNDS OOZING BLOOD. The worst wounded leg is terribly swollen. He can stand on it but cannot bear full weight to lift other hinf leg. Front leg joints also scarred and swollen. They totally ruined my horse of his beautiful future. These people donot care of the welfare of the animal. As gar as im concerned they should be in jail got animal abuse! read more

Sally and George were great to deal with. We hired G & F for our Hindu wedding procession (Baraat service) in January 2017. Dolly was our white horse.

Overall very smooth and easy to deal with over the phone and email. Would highly recommend for traditional Indian weddings! read more

Would definitely recommend!! The driving team was very professional, caring attentive and concerned for the safety of riders. My daughters were part of a court for a Quinceañera, Single grey draft horse with a Cinderella carriage, everyone was pleased/amazed with the appearance. Very hot day, so much that the driving team went out of the way to get the girls drinks at a local drive-thru! The girls were ecstatic!! As a horse keeping family, we did not see any kind of animal mistreatment. Very healthy and strong grey gelding. read more

We have horses. I rarely let my kids ride in a horse-drawn carriage at a venue. I make an exception, here. George's horses are well cared for, sound, and healthy. The carriage is beautiful, and they are great with the kids. My girls are young teenagers now, and they still see the carriage at Victoria Gardens, and want to take a ride. Even though they can ride their own horses whenever they want, there is something truly magical about an evening carriage ride. read more

We hired G&F Carriages to do our wedding (Bride & Father drop off AND Groom & Bride EXIT), they were hired as surprise to all of our guests & even my dad (who's wish was for me to be delivered to the isle by horse and carriage as my mom was delivered to the isle this way on their wedding day) well the ruined the surprise by parking in the main parking lot (although the driver was "told" to park there He Should Have Seen All Over My Paperwork He Was A Surprise & Asked To Move.. the wedding was on a 28 acre property.. lots of other places to park other than the MAIN PARKING LOT) The driver had difficulty getting the horse & carriage up a hill that was steeper than he thought it was going to be, so he BEAT the Horse to get her up the hill on his 2nd attempt, & on his first attempt while turning her around he KNOCKED MY MOM OVER IN HER MOTHER OF THE BRIDE DRESS, with no apology! (During our visit to the Carriage Shop to set up the Carriage, we did explain the layout of the property & advised the owner, George & for that fact the driver of the carriage was there also to go see the property as we were months ahead of the big day.. CLEARLY THEY DID NOT VISIT THE PROPERTY) After ruining the surprise for most, knocking my mother over & beating the poor horse up the hill it was time for me to enter the carriage with my dad & make my big entrance, lucky for us that was smooth, other than the look of Anger on the drivers face in every photo taken (SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT) then after dropping us off he went down to the trailer unhooked & LEFT!!! He did not wait for my Husband and I after the ceremony to drive off with him in the carriage... (ALL THOSE PHOTOS WILL BE MISSED FOREVER) Not to mention that we paid for a service and did not receive the Full Service. Sadly we called George the owner of G&F to explain all that happened, and got absolutely no where. We did discover that Buddy was the driver for the day of our wedding and that Buddy is his son, so OF COURSE none of the things I was telling him went wrong were true! THIS PLACE CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED & TURNED OUT TO BE A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR US!!!! read more
