Guest of Honour

Bespoke Wedding Dog Chaperone Services

Established in 2013

Accredited IMDT Dog Trainer | Level 4 Qualified in Canine Behaviour and Consultations | Five Star Licensed Home Boarder

Because every member of your family deserves to share your special day.

Your dog is part of your family, so it’s only natural they should be part of one of the most important days of your life.

Guest of Honour is a bespoke wedding dog chaperone service, created for couples who want their dog to play a special role in their wedding while receiving exceptional care from an experienced canine professional.

Unlike a traditional wedding chaperone, I bring over a decade of professional experience in dog training, canine behaviour and licensed home boarding, giving you complete confidence that your dog is in knowledgeable and experienced hands throughout your wedding day.

From our first conversation until your dog is safely home, every detail is thoughtfully planned. Whether they are walking down the aisle, greeting your guests, posing for photographs or relaxing away from the celebrations, their welfare, comfort and happiness remain my priority throughout the day.

As your celebrations come to an end, many couples choose overnight boarding or honeymoon care, allowing family and friends to enjoy the occasion without worrying about taking responsibility for your dog. Your dog returns with me to my Five Star Licensed home boarding, where they continue to receive the same exceptional standard of care until you are ready to collect them.

Tyler and Hannah's Wedding 27.05.26

Dog cover was one of the first things I wanted to sort for our wedding. It was fantastic that our venue allowed dogs, and there was never any doubt in my mind that I wanted our rescue Saluki cross, Sandy, by our side on our special day. However, I didn't want my family or guests to have to worry about her throughout the day.

That's where Anna came in. From the very beginning, she was responsive, helpful, and happy to answer my many questions. We met before the wedding, which gave her the opportunity to get to know Sandy and understand all of her little quirks.

On the day itself, Anna was amazing. Sandy responded so well to her, and Anna kept her engaged throughout the day, helping our photographer capture some wonderful photos. She was also very mindful of the heat and made sure both the photographer and videographer were aware, ensuring Sandy stayed comfortable at all times.

Sandy was able to be part of our ceremony and join us for photographs afterwards. Once that was done, Anna took her home, where she had a lovely time exploring the garden. When Sandy was ready to settle down, Anna's dad gave her some extra comfort and reassurance, which was exactly what she needed.

The following morning, Sandy was dropped back to us happy and relaxed. We felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. Honestly, it was the perfect solution and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding day without any worries.

The service was incredibly reasonably priced, and we would absolutely use Anna's boarding services again. For weddings, especially, I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She was incredible.

The best addition to our wedding!

Anna looked after our dog for our wedding last week, she knew exactly how to keep him engaged so he behaved at the wedding (he does like to cry if he doesn’t get enough attention!), we are so glad we did it and Dexter was able to deliver our rings!!

Anna collected him in the morning, joined the wedding, and then before the wedding breakfast took him home, she was great with him and he seemed very happy with her so we didn’t have to worry about him! Anna is super friendly and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog chaperone!

100% would trust with my dogs again! Thats the best praise I can give!

Best dog chaperone we could have hoped for! I would trust Anne with my dogs again and again, that is the highest praise I can give!
We have 2 very "energetic" dogs, border collie and leggy greyhound/rottweiler. Anne was the most amazing support ever with a bucket load of curve balls thrown her way, including new in-laws turning up late and forgetting leads and dog outfits.
She was a constant professional, and I have yet to see a photo of the day where she was not smiling.
She demonstrated true compassion towards our pups and us, allowed them to walk down the aisle and be part of our wedding day.
Also knowing they got home safe and fed allowed us to dance the night away!

How it worked;
- Had phone call to discuss needs and wants
- Anne visited our home to meet the dogs and review needs

Was so easy and straight forward. Anne made me feel increasingly reassured throughout the whole process and really allowed me to take the dog worries off my mind.
Would 100% recommend booking for any wedding.

Wedding chaperone

We got married on the 20th September. When planning the wedding it was important to us to have our 2 year old French bulldog (Stitch) be a big part of the day.

I hunted high and low for a chaperone for Stitch and I came across Anna.

The best choice I ever made 🥰

Anna was incredible and worked closely with us to ensure Stitch was able to be our ring bearer.

Anna was also able to pick Stitch up, bring him to the venue, take him back to her house and allow Stitch to stay with her for the night. An incredible service which takes all the stress and pressure away when worrying about what to do with your pets.

I can recommend Anna enough, if you don’t book Anna then you are mad.

Incredible service, unbeatable price and just an outstanding, loving person 🥰

Thank you so much Anna, means the world to us 🥰

Wonderful experience, a no brainer for couples with fur babies

Anna was an absolute superstar to work with from the moment we reached out to her enquiring about the guest of honour service she offers. We initially met Anna and she answered all our questions and made a plan for the day.

We even visited the venue before the wedding day with the dogs and Anna and she reassured us that they would be okay and we walked through what would happen.

At every stage from start to finish, Anna was so kind and provided so much reassurance especially as we were worried because our dogs haven’t stayed with anyone outside of immediately family before.

Anna is so very kind and it radiates through her work, she sent updates when she picked the dogs up to let us know they were okay and sent further updates later on for us to see when we had our phones. Our dogs had the best time in her home and we are so grateful we found Anna.

We recommend anyone with fur babies to book Anna for their wedding as you won’t just have a “dog chaperone”, but a friend for you and your dog.

Thank you Anna so very much, we are beyond grateful have photos with our dogs on our special day.

First Class Service!

I was very stressed in the build up to our wedding but Anna took away any worries as far as the arrangements for our dog, Milo, were concerned. She took the time to learn as much as she could about Milo in advance. She is so kind, caring and accommodating, and put me completely at ease that Milo would be absolutely fine despite his anxieties - and he was! She sent me photos and updates which were so lovely too. On our big day she brought him along to our reception and she was brilliant behind the camera, encouraging Milo to look the right way for the camera to get us the best possible photos. We were so grateful that he could join us for some of our wedding photos, and that he had such a loving home to stay with, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special wedding weekend.

Highly recommend!!

We used Anna’s guest of honour service for our Labradoodle Dudley at our wedding in June 2023. After multiple exchanges over the telephone and email we went to Anna’s house to meet her and her pooch Ella. She gave us some great hints and tips to practice at home with Dudley to prepare him for his walk down the aisle, as ring barer. We then met Anna on 2 occasions after that at our wedding venue to see how the day was going to work and to have a practice. Anna was very flexible in terms of meeting the needs of what we wanted for the day - and it all went smoothly! Anna is friendly, approachable and we felt at ease knowing that Dudley was in safe hands with her. I’d recommend Anna to anyone thinking of having their pet at their wedding.
