In the heart of historic St. Augustine, Florida—the nation’s oldest city—Country Carriages offers a distinctive way to celebrate special moments: the Cinderella Carriage experience. This isn’t just a ride; it’s a private, illuminated carriage journey that instantly transforms any occasion into an elegant, memorable event. Perfectly suited for up to four passengers, the carriage is often described as a “super limo” on wheels, resplendent with detailed décor and glowing lights that captivate evening streets and turn heads even during daylight hours.
The setting itself adds to the allure.

Country Carriages accommodates special requests—from romantic evening rides (with a small surcharge for after 10 pm bookings) to daytime tours that immerse guests in St. Augustine’s ambiance.
