For many couples, their dog is part of the family, so it feels only natural to want them there on one of the biggest days of their lives.
Last week, Denise from Pets 2 Places Bedford had the absolute pleasure of helping one very special four-legged guest attend his humans’ wedding — and he certainly looked the part.
Dressed in his finest wedding attire, complete with a smart dickie bow, he was already looking incredibly handsome. But there was one extra detail that made the moment even more special: the wedding rings were tied to his bow tie.
Yes — he got to be part of the ceremony too!
For Denise, being there as a wedding dog chaperone was a real privilege. Her job was to make sure the couple could enjoy having their dog at their wedding without having to worry about who was holding the lead, where he needed to be, or who was looking after him while everyone else was busy enjoying the day.
That meant blending quietly into the background when she wasn’t needed, but being ready to step in whenever she was.
She helped hold his lead, positioned him for photographs and worked alongside the photographer to help get those all-important perfect shots.
Because Denise was wearing her Pets 2 Places uniform, guests could immediately see that she was there specifically to take care of the dog. Nobody had to wonder who was responsible for him, and no family member or friend had to miss part of the wedding because they had been given “dog duty”.
Everyone could simply relax and enjoy themselves.
A wedding dog chaperone service built around you
There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to having your dog at your wedding.
You may want your dog with you for the entire day, from the preparations through to the photographs and celebrations.
Perhaps you only want them there for half a day.
Or maybe you simply want them brought along for an hour or two so they can appear in the photographs, have some cuddles with their favourite people and be part of the memories.
They can arrive suited and booted in their wedding finery, just as this very smart gentleman did, or simply come along exactly as they are.
Our pet wedding chaperone service can be tailored around what works best for you, your wedding and, importantly, your pet.
And if you would prefer your dog chaperone to be a little less obvious, that is absolutely fine too.
Denise is just as happy to swap her Pets 2 Places uniform for regular wedding attire so she can blend seamlessly into the background while still being there whenever your dog needs her.
It really is your day, your dog and your choice.
Let everyone enjoy the wedding
Having your dog at your wedding should add to the happiness of the day — not create another job for someone else.
With a dedicated wedding pet chaperone, your dog has someone looking out for them, helping with photographs, holding leads, keeping them where they need to be and making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
Meanwhile, you, your family and your guests can simply enjoy the celebration.
Whether you need wedding pet transport, a dog chaperone for a couple of hours or support throughout the whole day, Pets 2 Places can create a bespoke package to suit you.
Because if your dog is part of the family, why shouldn’t they be part of the wedding too?
