For many couples, their dog is not just a pet but a true member of the family, so it makes perfect sense to include them on one of the most important days of your life. As a wedding celebrant, I have seen time and again how meaningful it is when a couple’s dog is part of their ceremony, whether that is walking down the aisle, appearing in photos or simply being close by for comfort. My chaperone service is designed to make that happen smoothly, safely and without adding pressure to your plans.

I bring extensive experience from my previous working life, where I cared for and handled dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. I am fully insured and trained in pet first aid, giving you added reassurance that your dog will be in capable and caring hands throughout the day. My calm, confident approach helps dogs feel settled even in busy, emotional environments.

This service means your four-legged companion can be involved without you or your guests needing to worry about supervision, timing or practical details. I will look after everything, from pre-ceremony cuddles and gentle reassurance to walking your dog down the aisle or holding the lead during your vows. I will keep your dog calm, happy and comfortable throughout the day, making sure they have regular water breaks, short walks and plenty of attention.

The service is ideal for ring bearer pups, aisle walks, wedding photos and quiet companionship during your ceremony. I will also help keep outfits clean and tidy, whether that is a smart collar, a floral lead or a special bow tie for the occasion. After the ceremony, I can continue caring for your dog or arrange a safe handover to a trusted friend or family member, depending on what works best for your plans.

Everything is tailored to your dog’s personality, routine and needs, so whether your dog is lively, shy or somewhere in between, they will be treated with patience, kindness and understanding. My calm presence and professional background ensure your dog is both happy and safe while you enjoy every moment of your wedding day.

If your dream wedding includes paws as well as promises, I would love to help make that vision a reality. Get in touch to chat about adding your dog to your wedding day in a relaxed and stress-free way, because family is family, even the furry ones.
