Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — most events allow for a degree of customization. We can often accommodate simple décor such as ribbons, seasonal accents, or color themes that match your celebration. Because every event is different, customization options vary based on weather, carriage type, and safety considerations. If you have a specific idea in mind, we’re happy to discuss what’s possible and help create the look you’re going for.

Cavanaugh’s Carriages is a long‑standing, family‑run operation known for reliable service, well‑trained horses, and a friendly, professional staff. We focus on creating memorable experiences while maintaining high standards of animal care and safety. Our wide range of offerings — from carriage rides to farm animals, sleigh rides, hay rides, and seasonal attractions — allows us to serve everything from small private gatherings to large community events.

Our team transports the horses, carriages, and equipment directly to your event location. The carriage rides themselves typically operate at the event rather than transporting passengers between distant locations. If you’re unsure whether your venue layout works for carriage access, we can help evaluate the space and determine the best setup for your event.

We provide optional add‑ons for certain events, such as simple carriage décor, seasonal themes, or costumed characters for holiday rides. Catering is not offered directly, but we frequently work alongside event planners, venues, and vendors who provide food and beverages. If you need recommendations, we’re happy to point you toward local partners who complement our services.

Cavanaugh’s Carriages is based in Neenah, Wisconsin, and serves the surrounding Fox Valley region and nearby communities. For larger events or special occasions, extended travel may be possible depending on scheduling and availability.
