Dog Chaperone & Sleepover Service

As well as being your Celebrant, as a 'team' with my Husband Cameron, who is a Dog Trainer and Behaviourist, we are also able to offer this very special, additional service so that 'everyone' you love can be there to witness you say "I Do"........

Three dogs dressed for a wedding

Dogs play such a huge part of family life these days, and there is now no reason why they shouldn’t be included in the central part of your wedding .... They can be ring-bearers, or even Best Man - although I wouldn’t expect his speech to be up to much !

Our Pet Care Business (Going Walkies, Sit & Stay) recently won a Southern Enterprise Award for Best Dog Business for 2023, which we are very proud of.  My husband Cameron and I ran the company together for over 14 years - although he is now going 'solo' as I'm concentrating on my Celebrant Business !!!

Being 5 star rated and fully licensed by the local Council - we are able to offer this unique service, and all the dogs who stay with us are treated like ‘one of the family’ - no crates, cages or kennels – just comfy beds, sofas, blankets and lots of cuddles.  We are both fully insured and pet first aid trained - so you can be confident that your four-legged friend is in good hands.  

We recently Chaperoned this lovely dog 'Shadow', to his Mum & Dad's Wedding in Bridport, where I performed their Ceremony.  Shadow then came to stay with us at our home, for 2 nights, while the couple enjoyed some time together after the excitement of their day.

They both felt this was an invaluable element of their wedding - as having Shadow there with them, was very special and very important to them.

It certainly looks like he enjoyed himself ! 

 

2 Night Doggy Sleepover & Ceremony Chaperone - £285

As well as being there for your Ceremony and Photos - your dog can stay with us, in our home, either the night before and the night after your Wedding (or the 2 nights afterwards) so that you, your friends and family are all free to enjoy your celebrations without worrying about your beloved pet.

  • We can either meet your dog at the venue on the day, or safely transport them there (if they stayed with us the night before).
  • We would arrive at least 1 hour before the commencement of your Ceremony, so Cameron can settle him/her and take them for a short walk before the guests start arriving.
  • Your fur baby can then meet and greet guests and ‘circulate’!
  • Whilst I am officiating your Ceremony, Cameron will then chaperone them - including performing all doggy ceremony duties as agreed beforehand (ie Ring Bearer etc).
  • He will liaise with your photographer and assist with any doggy photo shoots as required.
  • We will then safely transport your dog from the Venue, back to our home for their Post-wedding Sleepover(s), where we will treat 'your' dog, as if s/he was 'our' dog.

Should you wish your dog to stay with us for more than 2 nights, or should you have more than one dog - please do not hesitate to contact us about your requirements.
