Formals

Champagne Carriages is the only carriage company in Brisbane that specialises in School Formals. We can accommodate anywhere from couples, to groups of 8 in one carriage or larger parties again with multiple carriages.

We travel to all areas of Brisbane and surrounding suburbs, however if your formal is at one of the inner city function centers we do have a standard meeting point at South Bank Parklands. This location is a nice, safe area and it is wonderful for taking pictures. It also allows easy access to most of the function centers in the inner city of Brisbane.


Our Formal hire is for half an hour and that includes time for family and friends to take those memorable photos. Being on time is important to us, we do everything in our control to not allow a group presiding you to run late and then cause us to be late for you. This is why we require that all formal groups sign a contract. It will be clearly stated the meeting time for the carriage, and your arrival time at the function center for your big night.

Please make an enquiry for availability and rates prior to sending in the booking form.
