ON Sunday, November 24 a north Pembrokeshire business picked up two prizes at the Welsh National Wedding Awards 2013.

Gentle Giants, a family-run company based in Moylegrove, was awarded Best Wedding Transport in the Mid Wales Region, as well as Best Horse and Carriage in Wales.

The gala evening was hosted by radio and television personality Jay Curtis at the Mercure Hotel in Cardiff.

The Welsh National Wedding Awards celebrate businesses within the wedding industry that go the extra mile in making sure the happy couple receive the high quality services needed to make the most out of their special day.

Gentle Giants offer horse drawn carriages for weddings, funerals or any other special occasions, as well providing activities such as riding, driving and chain harrowing.

Since starting up the business10 years ago they have been recognised for their top class service by receiving a number of awards, including Best Wedding Transport for Mid Wales in 2012, and earlier this year winning the Welsh Horse Ploughing Championships.

John Fletcher, owner of Gentle Giants, is delighted after receiving the two awards.

He said: “It's lovely to think that so many of our previous clients feel we are worthy of this and we can only thank them for putting us forward."
