✨ 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 personalised Packages available🐾

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.

My home is fully licensed for dog boarding by the council, giving you complete peace of mind.
Throughout their stay, you’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you always know how happy and comfortable your dog is.

Perfect for our wedding!! Thank you Marni ♥️🌟

We got in touch with Marni as we wanted someone to bring our dog to our wedding for photos and they stay overnight. Marni came recommended to us locally, and from the second we met her, we know our Sasha was going to be truly looked after & treated like her own. Marni kindly picked Sash up for us the morning of the wedding, took her for exercise and then brought her back for photos. She made sure she was all pretty looking & even managed to get her to tolerate her flower collar which she hated at first!! ♥️♥️ Marni has become one of those people we 1000% trust with Sash, and will be our first choice for any sort of boarding moving forward. Highly recommend her for your wedding day and any boarding services required!!♥️♥️ xxx

Thank you Marni!

Marni chaperoned our dog Rosa to our wedding earlier this year, with a couple of nights boarding either side, and was absolutely fantastic. Her communication was excellent with lots of updates during boarding. At the wedding itself, Marni was super professional and kept our dog Rosa well-behaved and happy during our drinks reception, while helping out with photos and letting our guests say hello. We are so grateful to Marni for enabling Rosa to join us on our big day!

Our dog has since boarded with Marni a couple more times, and she absolutely loves her time there. I completely trust Marni to keep her safe and happy with lots of fun activities. If we were more local then Rosa would be here every week!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Marni to anyone looking for a dog chaperone service for their wedding.

We had the best ring bearer

Having Mabel stay with Marni meant we were able to have her as a surprise ring bearer and it was perfect. We dropped her off the night before and got updates to know she was having a good time. Marni always looks after her well and turned up on time but stayed hidden and Mabel was freshly brushed and looking her best. Marni was great at letting her go to deliver the rings and collecting her so she could get involved in the drinks reception without any of our guests having to look after her. We were able to get some lovely photos, as there were plenty of treats to keep her focused. And once she left I knew she was in great hands and would have a lovely evening so we were able to enjoy our day without worrying about her

Wedding Chaperone and boarding bliss!

Marni is absolutely brilliant! From our first enquiry to even after our wedding day! We used Snuggle Paws for the Wedding chaperone service and for boarding the night of the wedding. Tilly is our fur baby and the love, cuddles and 100% care she received throughout the day was incredible! It was a hot day and plans chopped and changed, but Marni took it in her stride and always put Tilly’s needs first! The guests loved having our dog there and by the end of the drinks reception so many of our guests commented how good Marni was with Tilly and how lovely she was to chat to! This was great to hear, as she blended in as one of our guests! We would definitely recommend and use Snuggle Paws Services again! Marni went the extra mile with a keychain and flowers to congratulate us! Touches like this made it so special and we knew we had picked the best lady for looking after our Tilly! Tilly is a staffy who is loving but anxious in her later years, so to see our baby so relaxed meant the world! Thank you!

Amazing!!! Loved Marni and so did our boys!

Marni is absolutely lovely. We first arranged a trial with our boys, Teddy and Louis, and it’s safe to say they absolutely loved her home and felt so comfortable there straight away. Louis even got a little too comfortable at one point — Marni found him asleep on her bar stools and even on the table!

From the beginning, Marni was fantastic at keeping in touch and getting back to us quickly. On the wedding day, the dogs were so calm before coming into the church, which completely surprised us as we expected them to be full of chaos and excitement. Marni dressed them in the outfits we had bought for them and even brought them up to Moddershall Oaks Country Spa Retreat for photos afterwards.

We honestly can’t recommend Marni enough.

Bonnie says thank you for her lovely stay!

where to begin! from the first meeting to the big day, Marni was a ray of sunshine. We used her for our marriage weekend and she looked after our dog bonnie, keeping her safe the day before, bringing her to our ceremony and mingling with the guests, allowing bonnie to get all the attention and strokes from friends and family! Bonnie really loved her stay, meeting Minnie and Murphy, and snuggles with Marni on the sofa. She was so tired upon coming home!!
Everyone at the wedding commented how calm bonnie was which is a testament to the handling by Marni (and bribery by treats!) and the day went so smoothly.
100% would reccomend as a wedding chaperone to anyone getting married in the area!!

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❤️

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.
