Grand Carriages did a phenomenal job at our wedding! They were there early, stayed hidden (in accordance with our request), were extremely friendly and professional, and made everyone's jaw drop as I entered the ceremony in their beautiful Cinderella carriage. They even took my little cousins for a carriage ride around the grounds after the wedding! :) I would highly recommend them.
