Celebrating a huge personal milestone: my 100th event with Rock Star carriage horse Eli, for a mid-week wedding at the World Equestrian Center. As a bonus, we had a front row seat for the warm-ups of the Ocala International Horse Show, and touring the show barns! Who has the best job in the whole wide world? Me. Truly blessed to do what I love, and love what I do!

Before each event, the carriage gets a wash and safety inspection. Chief Safety Officer Boots gives the final OK, and ensures that I have to use the lint roller one more time.

Months of secret - behind the scenes planning brought this special marriage proposal to fruition on Saturday! PS - she said yes! We made it home just in time to beat the heat, and avoid the thunderstorms. I love such a romantic story! Cannot confirm or deny the fact that I may have been a little misty eyed :)

We are loving the recent trend of smaller, more intimate gatherings for weddings! They are just that much more special, ultimately making it more affordable to have the wedding ceremony of your dreams, and enjoy the reception celebration at a later date in the not-so-distant future.

Keosha and Ondra's wedding was so beautiful and moving last weekend, at Jumbolair in Ocala. There was not a dry eye in sight! As always, carriage horse Eli was a Rockstar, and he loves his fans. We are so blessed to have such amazing clients, and thank you all for making our 2018 season a success thus far, and letting us put the exclamation point on your special day, in style!

Weddings are my passion, and my pride!

Here we are appearing in an episode of reality series "My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding", filmed in Louisville Ky in July of 2014, airing on TLC channel in March of 2015. It was an interesting experience!
