Just like Disney

What a unique and memorable experience for our wedding day! This was a surprise from my parents and what a treat it was. Karen is such a kind and wonderful woman. I can tell she really cares for her horses and the couples she works with to ensure everyone has the best experience possible. Donna was our horse and she was beautiful. It was awesome to have a moment with my dad before the ceremony to just sit and calm down, I felt like it was something I needed. After the ceremony, my husband and I loved having some time to ourselves that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. It was so memorable to ride down the streets of Havre de Grace and have everyone treat us like celebrities - taking pictures, yelling congratulations, and just bringing smiles to everyone's face. It made me feel like a Disney princess and made the day feel even more magical!

A Dreamy Ride

Carriages by Karen was a big hit. Karen took the time to meet with the director of our venue ahead of time and it made for a smooth experience for everyone. Karen's professionalism and her demeanor with all of our guests was exactly what was needed to set our wedding day apart from the ordinary. Every time I look at our video and photos when I see scenes featuring the carriage rides I know that it was a great decision to incorporate it into our wedding. I wouldn't change a thing about that day and Karen spent time during our cocktail hour offering rides to guests and children to make the day a very special event. As the groom one thing that was truly special was seeing my bride enter the wedding area riding in the carriage. The oohs and aahs from the guests had me feeling like it was so fitting and I'm not sure how else we would've had it happen. So many comments afterwards explaining that everyone had a great time and the bride's entrance was a great surprise for everyone. Team JHP highly recommends Carriages by Karen. - Jonathan & Holly Pernell #JHPforthewin
