That is where Waggy Weddings comes in. We provide a professional dog chaperone service so your pup can be part of your big day without any of the stress.
What Is a Wedding Dog Chaperone?
A wedding dog chaperone is a trained professional who takes care of your dog throughout the day. From pick-up and drop-off, to walks, feeding, and gentle companionship, we make sure your dog’s needs are met whilst you focus on saying “I do.”
Think of us as your dog’s personal assistant — ensuring they are calm, happy, and safe whilst being included in the celebrations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Chaperones
What does a wedding dog chaperone actually do?
A professional dog chaperone handles all the logistics of including your dog in your wedding. This includes safe transportation to and from the venue, managing their stress levels, providing walks and toilet breaks, assisting the photographer to capture the perfect shots, and ensuring your dog is comfortable throughout the entire day.
Can my dog stay for the whole wedding?
Every dog is different, but weddings can be very overwhelming environments. We usually recommend a chaperone is present for 1 to 2 hours during the ceremony and photos. Once your dog shows signs of needing a rest, we will safely transport them home or to your chosen accommodation so you can enjoy your reception stress-free.
What if my wedding venue does not allow dogs?
Even strict no-pet venues often allow dogs on the grounds for photos if they know a fully insured, professional behaviourist is handling them. If a venue absolutely refuses, we can arrange to meet you at a nearby park, local beauty spot, or outside the church grounds before or after the ceremony for a dedicated photoshoot with your dog.
