Fontes Carriages

Two young ladies.
One unforgettable night. ✨

Saturday we had the honor of celebrating a beautiful double Quinceañera at The Grand 1401 with our Cinderella carriage and team.

There’s something special about watching a family pause time for just a little while — the dresses, the music, the laughter, the proud parents quietly taking it all in.

Moments like these are why we do what we do.

Thank you for allowing Fontes Carriages to be part of such an important memory. 💙

Some traditions deserve to be carried forward with care.

For generations, the sound of hoofbeats and the quiet roll of wheels have marked moments of remembrance, respect, and final goodbyes.

Yesterday, our team reminded us that dignity never goes out of style.

Somewhere tonight, someone is putting on the dress.

She's finishing up the final details of her hair and make-up.

Someone is taking one last deep breath before the moment their story begins.

Meanwhile, the carriage is packed, polished, flowered, and headed down a California backroad toward another dream entrance.

And somehow… after all these years…
it still feels magical every single time.

Grace is easy to photograph.

Responsibility happens behind the scenes.

It seems like in the blink of an eye things can change, sometimes for the worst and sometimes for the better. 2025 was a year that tested our passion and our commitment towards our equine partners. The loss of Charlie and Dan was devastating to say the least, but I believe that sometimes our equine partners send us a little something to help soften the grief of their losses, not only for us but also for the rest of the herd.

After taking some time to process everything and getting to know our new herd members, it is our honor to introduce our newest additions.

Without further delay we give you Miss Babe AND Mr. Moose!! They have both taken some time to get to know us and the rest of the herd and have settled in beautifully. They have such fun personalities. We're so excited to start this new adventure with them.

We've given them some time to see who they seem to fit with best and Mr Moose has decided that Bob is his. He's happy and social with him spending afternoons sunbathing next to each other. Miss Babe surprised us the most. While she's worked with Max and Priscilla beautifully, she has decided that Emma is hers and they do everything together. So it looks like Babe will be showing Emma the ropes for her first commercial year!

We can't wait to share our journey with the herd and the adventures this year brings us. We can't thank the ones that helped make this possible enough. We are beyond honored that you trusted us with such special horses.
