Testimonials

We would like to share just a few of the comments from some of our many happy customers with you. We would be happy to put you in touch with anyone who has similar interests to help you share information about carriage driving and develop this excellent sport.

“We have been swept off out feet by our magical new Vis-a-Vis carriage. The quality of the build is second to none, the finishing details are absolute perfection.
Rene was a such a gentleman to deal with, I could listen and talk to him for hours and still only get a tip of the iceberg of knowledge this man and his lifelong passion comes with. He helped and guided me with my order and my custom requirements. Everything I asked for was delivered on exactly as requested. Our carriage was built in Poland and shipped to Perth, Western Australia, where now she is being used for magical weddings and winning the hearts of all that see her.
Thank you Rene for all your help and making this dream come true. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on this and we couldn’t be happier with the result.”
Sorrell Ferguson, Charming Carriages Australia

“Dear Rene
I would like to praise you for my beautiful new white roof seat hearse. It’s just brilliant and exactly to the specification requested right down to the measurements and finer details. The roof seat is safe and easy to access and the internal upholstery is spot on. In fact everything is spot on. Exceptional value for money. Worth every penny!

Thank you, it’s brilliant.
Thank you.”
