✨ Your Dog’s Perfect Wedding Chaperone ✨

I'm Marni, a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for wagging tails and four-legged family members who deserve to be part of life’s most beautiful moments.

Before becoming a dog chaperone, I spent years working in a wedding dress boutique, helping brides step into the gown that made them feel unforgettable. I learned the rhythm of a wedding day — the emotion, the timing, the care, the details — and I bring that same calming, professional, joyful energy to every couple I work with.
Now I help make weddings even more special by ensuring your dog is cared for, relaxed, and camera-ready, so you can enjoy your day without stress.

🐾 Why Couples Love Working With Me

I treat your dog like one of my own — with patience, affection, and a deep understanding of canine personalities.

I blend seamlessly into your wedding team, working alongside planners, photographers, and venue staff.

I make sure your dog is safely escorted, well-exercised, looked after, and included in the moments that matter: photos, aisle walks, cuddles, and surprises.

I bring the same eye for elegance and detail that I used in the bridal shop — making sure everything looks perfect, from collars to timing.

💍 What It’s Like to Have Me as Your Dog’s Chaperone

Think of me as a calm, organised, warm presence — someone who adores dogs and understands weddings inside and out. I’m there to make your day smoother, happier, and filled with heartfelt moments. Your dog gets a trusted friend for the day; you get peace of mind.

Making Your Dog Part of Your Special Day

Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life – and it wouldn’t be complete without your beloved dog by your side. That’s where I come in! As your dedicated Wedding Dog Chaperone, I offer a complete, stress-free service designed to make sure your furry family member is well cared for, looks their best, and arrives in style.

Here’s what’s included: Pre-Wedding Grooming - Your dog deserves to shine, too! I’ll groom your pup before the big day so they’re clean, tidy, and photo-ready. Whether it’s a fresh wash, brush, or tidy-up, I’ll ensure they look their absolute best.

Safe & Reliable Transport: I will safely transport your dog in my car using a seat belt and safety mat, to and from the wedding venue, so you and your guests can focus on the celebration. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority.

On-the-Day Chaperone Service: Once at the venue, I’ll take care of your dog throughout the event. Whether your dog is walking down the aisle, posing for pictures, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, I’ll be by their side to handle walks, water, feeding, toilet breaks, and any cuddles needed. I’ll ensure they’re happy, calm, and safe from start to finish.

Post-Wedding Care: After the event, I’ll safely return your dog home or a free night's stay at my fully licenced and insured home, ensuring they’re settled and comfortable. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your pup was part of your day and is now home safe and sound. Whether your dog is the ring bearer, a flower pup, or simply there to share in the joy, my service is designed to let them be part of your wedding without adding any extra stress to your day.

🐾 Wedding Dog Chaperone Service Packages 🐾

Your wedding day should be magical—from the moment you say “I do” to the final steps down the aisle. With a lifelong passion for weddings and years of experience caring for dogs, I’m here to ensure your furry family member enjoys the big day just as much as you do.

Amazing wedding chaperone

Marni was AMAZING and took such incredible care of our fur baby Flory. She made sure Flory was beautifully wedding ready and accompanied her at our venue and stayed with her so she could be part of our pictures. The whole thing was incredibly smooth and organised and I can’t thank Marni enough for helping ensure we could have our precious girly at our special day. She even made us a beautiful wedding card from Flory which made me cry! Can’t recommend Marni enough she’s blooming brilliant❤️

Owner

Hello! I’m Marni, and I’ve built my wedding chaperone service around two lifelong passions: beautiful weddingsand wonderful dogs.

With years of experience working in a bridal boutique, I’ve spent countless hours surrounded by love stories, stunning dresses, and the magic that makes a wedding day unforgettable. I understand how important every detail is—and that includes making sure your furry family members are cared for, calm, happy, and part of your celebration in the perfect way.

As someone who has always had dogs and has spent a lifetime working with and caring for them, I know just how much they mean to you. Whether it’s walking, comforting, supervising, or escorting them down the aisle, I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and complete attention.

💍 My promise:
To make your wedding day smoother, sweeter, and stress-free, ensuring your dog enjoys the day just as much as you do.

🐾 Your wedding. Your dog. Your perfect moment—beautifully chaperoned.
