Im embarrassed to say that Walking M Farms was my 2nd choice of consideration. I wish I would have picked them to begin with! I originally had contacted HaulNAss about hiring the beer burro for our wedding's cocktail hour. I guess it was a more "popular" company. I was super excited about it, but after talking to the owner a few times something didn't sit well with me. Before I scrapped the whole idea I decided to look around somewhere. Thats when we found and came in contact with Walking M Farms and so happy when I spoke with Tia. Something about talking with her made me feel so comfortable & I got excited of the idea of a donkey at my wedding again!
Tia was so easy going & sweet. She asked me about my wedding colors & my wedding theme. Said she was open to ideas. (Though I just went with a classic white flower wedding look, bc it was just so perfect) Tia wanted to do whatever she could to make me happy. I'm a business owner & so I feel like the bar is set high when it comes to customer service & Tia/Walking M Farms totally met my expectations & more! I just didnt feel that way with the other company. Tia seemed interested in me & my wedding. The other company seemed interested in my deposit.
Now.....lets talk about the fun stuff! A donkey named Sophia at my wedding! Wow! Sophia was soooo perfect & soooo cute. We originally had her greet guests & we put wedding programs in her "coolers". Then when the wedding started we emptied the coolers, filled them with ice, beer & water bottles & Sophia was ready for cocktail hour! My guests adored her. My vendors adored her. The venue adored her. She was so chill & so well behaved.
Basically I had just an all around positive experience with Walking M Farms & I highly recommend! The only "bad" thing I can say about this company is that when I originally went on their website I saw they were located in Higley AZ. Ive never heard of Higley was so I just assumed they were no where near Pheonix. So I didn't call for a few weeks, until I got desperate & searched again. That's when I realized Higley was just an area in Mesa. (so the "bad" thing being that maybe that being listed on their site could confuse people) Glad I double checked bc I couldnt imagine not having Sophia & Walking M Farms at my wedding! =)
