Your choice of wedding transport will largely depend upon the weather, terrain, i.e. accessibility of the venue(s), availability of mode of transportation and personal preference. Certainly do not under estimate how important accessibility is. For example the width of gates, firmness of the ground, other road traffic and open space for turning is very important to consider if you desire a horse drawn carriage.
