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

The whole process with Sue was so smooth and straightforward - the introduction calls and thoroughness put us as complete ease knowing Maple was going to be in the best care whilst we were at our wedding. Sue was amazing with Maple on the day of the wedding - as a 3 year old fox red lab, Maple has plenty of energy but she made sure she got used to her surrounding well before the wedding which definitely helped calm Maple down. The wedding day itself was very warm, but Sue had all the necessary procedures in place to ensure Maple was kept cool and hydrated at all times. Maple was sat at the back of the room during our ceremony which I didn’t even realise until the end - of that doesn’t go to show how amazing Sue is then I don’t know what else does. The follow up with videos and pictures were amazing to see what Maple got up to during the day. I couldn’t recommend Sue enough / the care she has for dogs is second to none.

Precious was absolutely amazing! She looked after our dog for our wedding and helped with his ring bearer role. Precious was excellent in advance, available to come and build trust and a relationship with our nervous dog and it all paid off! We felt so relaxed and comfortable knowing that our dog was in such safe and caring hands. Precious’ involvement in the day was seamless and she made sure everything went smoothly! Thank you so much!

Hannah looked after our spaniel, Holly, while we were at our niece’s wedding in Exeter. She was friendly and professional and Holly had a super day with her.

Shelby from Healthy Paws was absolutely fantastic and genuinely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We started with a video call to talk through what our day would look like and what Shelby could offer. We knew we wanted our corgi, Cali, to be part of the wedding, but we also didn’t want to put any pressure on her to ‘do’ anything, particularly as we knew it was going to be a hot day. Shelby immediately put our minds at ease and made it clear that her priority throughout the day would simply be Cali. Whether she needed food, water, a walk, some quiet time or to be taken away from everything completely, Shelby would make sure she got what she needed. We booked the full day and overnight stay, and Shelby arrived around 9:30am. Cali instantly took a shine to her and pretty much followed her around from that point onwards! She took Cali for a calming walk before the ceremony, got her dressed in her special wedding harness and then brought her out to meet our guests. We weren’t sure how Cali would react to the music during the ceremony, and the second she started to grumble, Shelby discreetly took her outside before sneaking her back in once the music had finished. She did it so quietly that I didn’t even realise Cali was back in the room until she barked in celebration at the end when everyone started clapping! Cali stayed with us for a couple of hours for photos and mingling before Shelby took her back to our accommodation, where they chilled together for the rest of the day and overnight until we were ready to take back responsibility the following morning. Having Shelby there took absolutely all of the pressure off us. We could enjoy our wedding knowing Cali was being looked after, although ‘looked after’ is probably an understatement. At one point Shelby was literally carrying all 14kg of her around to save her little legs! We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after such an important member of our family on such an important day. A massive thank you from both of us, and particularly from Cali!

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

Chris was absolutely incredible looking after our rescue Golden Retriever, Jess, on our wedding day. From booking to the day itself, Chris was responsive and helpful all the way through. On the day, we could tell Jess was very well cared for and so happy, Chris even managed to get Jess to pose for some photos! It meant so much to us to have her there and to see her so happy. There is no better person to trust with your dog for your wedding day and I would 100% recommend Chris to anyone.

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!
