Something Different in Buckinghamshire

Ellis looked after our 3 year old Corgi Halloumi for our wedding at Hedsor House on 24th May 2026. In the run up to the wedding Ellis was incredibly communicative, meeting us in person over Christmas when we were in the area to be introduced to Halloumi and speaking to us on zoom to align on the finer details of the day (including Halloumi’s attendance). What came through in all our interactions was Ellis’ dedication to the couple she is working with and the dogs in her care. She gave great advice on how best to have Halloumi involved in the day and even created a bespoke collar and lead set as a moment for her. On the day itself, which was in the midst of a heatwave, Ellis was focussed on Halloumi’s welfare thought out. She made sure she had plenty of water and wasn’t overwhelmed by the excitement of the day. She ensured Halloumi was there for photos and was quickly able to return (having said hi to some of her favourite people) to the comfort and calm of an air conditioned room. It is a testament to the bond Ellis can form with a dog in her care, that in a short period of time Halloumi became completely enamoured with Ellis and was very sad when she was handed back over to us the next morning. Throughout the day, Ellis provided WhatsApp updates on Halloumi so we were always confident she was safe, happy and in good hands. In short, if you want your four legged family member as part of your day, we cannot recommend Ellis and her services enough! She is truly a wonderful person and an incredible carer for dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities!

My husband and I booked a couple of alpacas as a surprise to greet out guests, and for a couple hours after ther ceremony. They were an absolute hit, and made for some fantastic photos and videos. Dutchy, their accompanying human, was great as well. Ensured everyone who wanted to got some time with the alpacas, and he promptly cleaned up after them when needed. Alpaca Evolution have several different packages, but none quite fitted what we were looking for. A few emails later, we had discussed details, were happy with the quote and had paid our deposit. If you're thinking about having alpacas at your wedding, would highly recommend Alpaca Evolution.

From the moment we first contacted Kirsty, she was an absolute delight to work with. On the day itself, Kirsty was simply incredible. Watching her create a masterpiece live during the reception was a magical experience, and it quickly became a highlight for so many of our guests. After the wedding, Kirsty went above and beyond to add the finest details, ensuring the painting was absolutely perfect. The final artwork is a breathtaking reminder of our special day. We are beyond thankful for Kirsty’s incredible talent and dedication. She gave us a keepsake we will cherish for a lifetime. If you’re considering a live wedding painter, we couldn’t recommend Kirsty more highly.
