My mother insisted that I buy this for my wife, and she was so right as I won massive brownie points for getting her this, she cried a little when I gave it to her, bless her. She's so sentimental. She is planning to keep her dress to give to our daughter one day so this was perfect as a quick gift on our wedding day. Thank you so much

We knew when we picked an elopement wedding we couldn’t have got married without our cocker spaniel there too. I had seen the wedding dog chaperone on Instagram and loved their work. It was easy to enquire direct with Sue about the bespoke package we wanted with our dog Maddie and Sue was quick at responding to all of our emails. We decided to introduce our pup to Sue and the team before the big day to ensure she would be comfortable and they couldn’t have been more welcoming, it was clear from the first moment that our dog would be well loved and looked after on the day. A few weeks before Sue arranged a zoom call to ensure everything was set for the day, this really helped us to bring our vision to light and Sue was so flexible throughout all of it. Then to our big day, it was 28 degrees but this was so issue for Sue. She had everything our dog needed, from cooling mats to water and even cheese which went down a treat. Maddie our dog looked so happy to spend the day with Sue and wasn’t bothered about even seeing us. Sue always put Maddie’s needs first ensuring she was kept as cool as possible, she was then on hand when we wanted to have photos with the dog. The service from start to end was just perfect and I would recommend Sue to any couple thinking of it!!!

Hannah was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We reached out at incredibly short notice, and she stepped in without hesitation — something we were unbelievably grateful for. Her calm, warm, and professional approach instantly put us at ease, and more importantly, our dog Brownie adored her. She took wonderful care of Brownie throughout the day, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and fully looked after. What truly made the experience exceptional was how beautifully she prepared him for his big moment as our ring bearer. Brownie looked perfect, was in the right place at the right time, and ran down the aisle like a star — all thanks to Hannah’s patience, guidance, and attention to detail. Her service went above and beyond anything we expected. We couldn’t recommend Hannah highly enough to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and genuinely brilliant dog chaperone.

We wanted our dog, Max, in some of our wedding photos but due to his age and him being an anxious dog having him on site all day was not an option. Shelby looked after Max for us and we are really happy with her services. She took him out to our local enclosed paddock to run off some steam and then got him ready for the photos. She then brought him to the venue where we had some lovely photos taken. She also house sat for us that night and when we got home the next day Max was happy and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate at all using Shelby again to look after Max, she’s brilliant!

We were lucky enough that Archie and his grooms/owners were available for our wedding at Deer Park on the 27th July 2025, and it truly was the most magical addition to our day. We went for the full package, which included beautiful confetti baskets followed by champagne at the reception and honestly, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Before the day itself, I met with Laura and Will and they were just wonderful. They made sure everything was set up perfectly, the timings were spot-on, and that Archie and his team would be a complete part of the ceremony, this made the whole experience feel even more seamless and special. Around 98% of our guests had no idea, so it was a gorgeous surprise for everyone, no matter their age. Archie was a complete hit with everyone! The children adored him, the adults loved him, and the older members of our families (many of whom, like us, grew up with ponies and horses) found it especially heartwarming. Archie himself is such a sociable, cheeky little pony who clearly loves people, especially children. His owners and assistants were fantastic! Friendly, professional, and dressed so smartly for the occasion, which made the whole experience feel extra special. It’s clear how much care and love goes into what they do. The photos of Archie were actually the very first pictures I shared from the wedding, it was just such a brilliant idea! We couldn’t recommend Archie and his grooms highly enough – they brought joy, surprise, and a sprinkle of magic to our wedding day that we will remember forever. Bonnie x

Prestige were the recommended hire company by our wedding venue (Winterbourne Medieval Barn in Bristol). We hired chairs from them as we wanted chiavari chairs rather than the standard conference chairs that come free with the venue. Chairs turned up when we’re needed and we’re collected when required and looked great and complimented the rustic vibes of Winterbourne medieval barn

We had the pleasure of using Short Legs Dog Care for our wedding on March 21st 2026 at the Lygon Arms in Broadway. Angie looked after our 3 dogs for the whole day and was the icing on the cake to a perfect day! The whole experience from the initial enquiry to attending the actual day was professional, friendly and totally flexible to our needs. Angie was like the ‘ dog whisperer ‘ with all 3 dogs as she had them eating out of her hands within minutes of meeting them. The dogs were ring bearers which was a huge ask of them but it all went incredibly smoothly with Angie in control. It was such a relief not to have to worry about the dogs, knowing they were in excellent hands, being walked, fed and played with whilst we were having the wedding breakfast and into the evening. I would HIGHLY recommend using their services to enhance your special day. Absolutely 200% worth it for peace of mind and total support in a friendly and professional manner. We can’t thank them enough for helping to make our special day even better.

I wanted to write a review to say thank you for making our day so special. The crockery was the perfect final touch to our wedding.

Lucie painted our wedding guests and she was amazing! She was so helpful throughout the entire process from booking to logistics to the day itself, sorting our her timings in a way that suited ours which we are so grateful for. Our guests loved the experience and it added something special to the day, as well as having something different to your usual wedding favour to take home with them. I should add that she is so warm and frankly hilarious. We couldn't recommend her more, thank you Lucie for everything!

We used their services for dog care on our wedding day. The member staff named Lizzie arrived early and instantly worked to help us on what was a very busy wedding morning- with very little instruction, finding our dog and getting to know her and making friends from the off! During the ceremony Lizzie's support and flexibility meant that at the last minute our dog was able to walk down the aisle to bring the rings which she did perfectly before sitting with Lizzie at the front for the rest of the ceremony very happily ( and quietly!). This making everything go seamlessly carried on into photos where Lizzie was able to work with our dog so they could join every photo we wished and look perfectly at the camera! For the rest of the day we had they had quickly built up a great relationship with and the photos and videos to show what she was up to was a lovely unexpected addition. Even when Lizzie left, knowing Lizzie had waited to check our dog was settled before leaving gave us great peace of mind. It really was 5 star dog care where Lizzie went above and beyond- something noted by many of the guests you were amazed by her ability to keep our dog calm, happy and in the right place at the right time!
