When planning our wedding and finding out our perfect venue, The Sandy Cove Hotel was dog friendly I knew Gino, our family golden retriever had to be there. As an anxious dog we knew we would need help to make the day possible for him which is when I found Pad4Paws on social media and made contact. I was so pleased they were available on our wedding day.

Following a zoom call to meet Sue & Pete we knew right away they were the prefect fit for Gino & us. Having goldies themselves they understand the goldie way and were both so friendly and lovely, and understanding of Gino's anxieties. We confirmed our wedding date and looked forward to Gino being part of our day, knowing he would be looked after.

We then had a zoom call two weeks before the wedding to go through the plans and times for the day which left us all feeling confident ahead of the day, Sue was so accommodating and understanding that although plan A was in place, it could end up being very different subject to how Gino is as he sure does suffer from FOMO. This was no problem at all.

In the days before the wedding a WhatsApp group was set up so we could communicate, and there were a few last minute tweaks which Sue took in her stride.

On the day, Sue arrived on time and equipped for the day ahead. Gino took to Sue amazingly and she quickly put him at ease, showing him around the venue, brushing him and getting him ready for his role as dog of honour. In his moments of insecurity Sue provided the confidence he needed and reassuring him - Sue even managed to bring Gino up to meet me from the hotel before the ceremony, which was a huge thing for Gino being away from the people he knows which shows the relationship they had built in a short time.

This was the first time we had met Sue in person and it was like meeting a friend we'd known for years. Sue then helped Gino to make his grand entrance and looked after him during the ceremony, then assisting with the photos etc. It was so lovely to have Sue there to take the pressure off other family members to look after Gino who was also thoroughly enjoying the day. Although plan A didn't happen, Sue was more than happy to go with whatever made Gino happy and it was lovely to see him relaxed and happy.

The icing on the cake was the photos and videos sent the next day of Gino's POV of the day and it was so lovely to see what he got up to while we were getting ready, see him greeting our guests etc.

Sue was quite simply our fairy god mother of the wedding day. It meant so much to have Gino as part of the day and to see him happy and relaxed, and all this was down to Sue who was simply amazing. I really can't thank you enough for making our dreams come true with our wedding.

To any bride and grooms to-be wondering if a dog chaperone is worth it, I'd say they are worth their weight in gold!

Sue & Pete are wonderful people who put their heart and soul into their work. The time they take to get to know you before the big day is unrivalled and right from our first call, we had complete confidence that they were the right people to take care of our dogs on our wedding day. The process started with a zoom call to understand our requirements and what they could do for us. We were blown away with their flexibility and their desire to ensure the day was planned to suit us.

We were then fortunate enough to meet Sue & Pete and their gorgeous dogs for a dog walk at which point it felt like they’d became friends, more so than our suppliers. In the lead up to the wedding, we were kept up to date with communication and had a zoom call going over all the finer details giving us all the confidence that we needed that the dogs would be well looked after. There was never any doubt.

On the wedding day Sue & Pete worked with our photographer to make sure we got the all important shots. We were so relaxed knowing that the dogs were safe and being cared for whilst we did our own photos and greeted our guests. They then went back to our accommodation and the dogs were comfortable enough to enjoy cuddles and snoozes.

Finally and probably the most unexpected point, yet added so much value was the photographs and videos we received, the day after from the dogs point of view. This gave us gorgeous moments of the day that we didn’t see and wouldn’t have otherwise had captured but were so precious to us. Sue took a video of me walking down the aisle and we must have played it 20 times since.

We cannot recommend Sue & Pete enough. They completely understand dogs of all breeds, sizes and needs and the experience was flawless from start to finish. We would recommend them to anyone that would like their pups to be part of their special day.

Had the pleasure of working together at a recent wedding in 2025, highly recommended and very professional if you are wanting to have those all important dog photos and dog chaperone on your wedding day. Will work seamlessly with your photographer and videographer.

Sue and Pete were our #1 go-to as our dog chaperone on our wedding day.
From day one they were professional, with excellent communication and speedy replies. Their obvious love and passion for dogs made us feel at ease.

On our wedding day Sue met us prior to our ceremony and was brilliant with our dog (Scooby) throughout the day. She kept him occupied when we were busy, taking him for nice walks around the gardens and giving him delicious cheese!

A video showing the day from Scooby's point of view was a lovely addition to the day!

When we needed Scooby as our ring bearer and for professional photos, Sue was there with him ready to go. In addition, Sue is excellent at helping dogs looks down the lense of a camera!

We couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Scooby on our day - thank you Sue (and Pete!).

They were amazing! We have an energetic young dog which was taken full care of. This meant we could enjoy our wedding day and we were still able to have our puppy involved. They were also really flexible with how you want the day to go 😊 Would recommend if you just want peace of mind on your wedding day.

As soon as we got engaged my husband and I knew we wanted to get married in Cornwall. One of the next questions that entered our minds was ... what are we going to do with the 6 dogs across our families, when all our nearest and dearest who would usually take care of them will be at the wedding ? Two pugs, a Chihuahua, Jack Russell, Dachshund and our Boston Terrier. All with their own quirks and care requirements, we worried if we would find someone to look after them.

But then we found the lovely Sue and Pete. From our very first virtual meeting with them both, our minds were completely put at ease their love and knowledge for dogs shone through. Their communication throughout was exceptional and they produced a very detailed plan so that we all knew the timings etc. for the big day.

On the wedding day within 5 minutes of Sue and Pete's arrival, we could instantly tell how settled all the dogs were with them. Some of our doggies are very very nervous of strangers so this was amazing to see ! Sue also supported us in including our Boston Terrier Maui in the actual wedding ceremony, including getting him into his outfit, keeping him calm beforehand and walking him down the aisle with our rings. Sue was also on hand with treats for Maui that helped us get him to pose perfectly for some photos. Sue also came back up to the venue, which was a 10 minute walk from the cottages, with Maui for our first dance. We didn't feel that anything was too much trouble !

Sue and Pete's professionalism and caring nature meant that we didn't have a single worry about the dogs on the day, we knew they were in safe hands. We would not hesitate to use Sue and Pete's services again or recommend them to others ! 😃 Xxx

We found Sue through Hitched and immediately felt comfortable with them! She was so brilliant taking the time to get to know us and learning about our 18 month old working cocker Alfie. On the day she took care of everything, whenever we needed Alfie/Sue anywhere they were there, ready and waiting! We had no concerns at all, and Alfie fell in love with her (and her box of cheese which may have played a part!). Honestly, every guest who interacted with Sue said she was such a calming presence, for both our wild dog and the guests! We also loved that she took so many pictures and videos from the day to document it from Alfie's perspective, which was such a special touch. We would recommend Sue and A Pad 4 Paws to anyone and everyone.

We can’t recommend Sue and Pete enough. They did everything possible to make sure Murphy was comfortable and happy at our wedding. We had a particularly hot day but Sue managed to keep Murphy calm and cool by using cool pads, cold bandanas etc and we felt reassured that Murphy was in amazing hands! Sue also sent us many pics and videos and a message to let us know Murphy was home safe. Thank you so much. We now have memories with Murphy for life and can’t thank you enough.

Sue was absolutely amazing with my dog. As a rescue, she can be very nervous, but Sue went above and beyond to make her feel safe and comfortable. Despite the heat, she kept her cool, making sure my dog had plenty of water, food, and attention, along with lots of love. She even helped get Betty into her dress and ready for the aisle, which was such a special touch. I can’t thank Sue enough and would highly recommend her to anyone.

From our first enquiry right up until after our wedding, the service we received from Sue was outstanding.

We had zoom calls before the big day so she knew the timeline in detail and how we wanted Freddie to fit into the wedding.

On the hectic wedding morning she kept Freddie wonderfully occupied whilst we all got ready, and then she changed him into his gorgeous outfit and got him beautifully involved in the parts of the wedding he was needed, and kept him happy and content when he wasn't.

I cannot recommend her enough.

As a wonderful added bonus, she documented his day from his point of view and shared all the videos with us the next morning which was absolutely lovely to see!

Thank you so much!

We booked our 2 dogs in for the day of our daughter’s wedding. We had a few video calls prior to the wedding which were very helpful! On the day Pete took great care of our two dogs, meaning we didn’t have to worry! We were even able to get them in some of the photos with Pete’s help.
It was an added bonus to receive photos and videos of their day!

Couldn’t recommend Sue and Pete anymore. They had a particularly hard task given our dog, Arlo being the ring bearer was a complete surprise to the groom.

The groom had no idea until Arlo walked down the aisle. Sue and Pete allowed me to be flexible in the planning. Even up to 15 minutes before Sue and I would text to make sure she and Arlo remained hidden.

Arlo had the best day, constant play, treats and well deserved nap time when needed.

When we were planning our wedding, it was a no brainer to us that we wanted Pablo, our English Bulldog, as part of the day. However, we didn’t want any of our family or friends to have to take the responsibility of him. That’s when we found Sue and aPad4Paws! We had several zoom calls with her leading up to the wedding and she asked so many questions about his preferences/allergies to make sure that he would be comfortable throughout the day.
On the day, it was perfect. It was quite a warm day and Pablo can struggle in the heat - she was prepared for everything, water bowls, cooling bandanas, she took Pablo off to cool down when she could see that he was too hot. She helped him pose for photos by having a constant supply of cheese to hand! You can really tell she loves animals so much.
The next morning, she sent through so many videos and photos from Pablo’s perspective which was so nice to immediately have those clips and see parts of the wedding.
I honestly could not recommend them enough.

APad4Paws - Pete and Sue - were just what we needed at our wedding. We wanted our two dogs at our wedding but we realised that they would need looking after and returned home before we were ready to leave. Luckily Pete was available. We had video calls before the day to confirm our plans and go through the dogs’ routine etc. Pete and Sue were very adaptable and prepared to do whatever we needed. Pete arrived on the day and drove the dogs to the venue. He took care of them throughout, including when they were in photographs, and took them back home later, staying with them during the evening and feeding them, and our cat! They helped to make it easy and enjoyable for our dogs to be with us for our wedding.
They were great and good value for money too.

Sue & Pete were so wonderful chaperoning our little dog Bilbo for our wedding at Rockbeare Manor in June. They were so attentive and warming during the organization of the day and also looking after Bilbo during the serve Pete was so amazing at keeping Bilbo calm and still be apart of the day.

They kept us updating throughout Bilbo’s overnight stay and we know Bilbo had the best time staying with them. We couldn’t recommend this wonderful couple and business more! Thank you so so much!
