Beautiful horses, reliable and talented people. These horse will be an asset at any wedding, or function where the guest may need to be transported from one spot to another.
Harmon's is THE place to go when considering a horse or carriage. Midge is the only person we refer our clients too. The quality, dependability, customer service they offer can not be beat. When you see a picture of a horse or carriage on our website, or in our showroom,you can bet it is from Harmon's.
I've photographed many weddings over the years where Harmon's Carriages were present. They add such a touch of class to an event, and of course make for very nice photos. Their staff is always pleasant and very eager to help get just the right shot. I would highly recommend Harmon's Carriages!! Ron at Jones Photography.
Midge Harmon is nationally recognized as a highly qualified trainer of draft horses. She, her staff, horses and carriages are very well prepared to make your carriage ride safe and memorable. Add a beautiful touch to your wedding!
We enjoy having Midge and all the fabulous horses and carriages at our venue. Her horses are wonderful and the staff is great to work with. Harmon's really does exceed our expectations.
Week after week I have the pleasure of photographing weddings that have a Harmon carriage as part of the day's experience. They are exciting, beautiful horses and carriages. The drivers are always dressed to the nines and make sure the guests have a great time. The Belgian Horses are truly wonderful and well behaved. Midge Harmon makes sure each horse is perfectly groomed with braided manes, etc. In short they create an exciting easily photographed opportunity for you and your guests to enjoy and remember. I get excited everytime I see them at an event. Don Harper at The Edge Photography Studio
My company specializes in the planning of weddings and events hosted at Inns and historic locations, a horse drawn carriage adds the perfect touch to complete the wedding day picture. For years, I've referred Harmons because they are the best in the business.
