Dog Wedding Chaperone

At Hooley's Hounds, we offer a bespoke Dog Wedding Chaperone service, allowing your beloved companion to be part of one of the most important days of your life.

The idea for this service came from planning my own wedding. Like so many dog owners, I couldn't imagine celebrating such a special occasion without my own greyhound, Winston, by my side. But I quickly realised there was one big question… who would look after him?

The people you'd normally ask to care for your dog are often the very same people you want celebrating with you, making it difficult to ensure your dog is looked after whilst still enjoying your wedding day.

That's exactly why I created Hooley's Hounds Wedding Chaperone Services.

Whether you'd like your dog to walk down the aisle, be part of your photographs, greet your guests, or simply spend part of your special day with you, I'll work with you to create a bespoke plan tailored to your wedding.

From collection and transport, to caring for your dog throughout the day and safely returning them home afterwards, you can relax knowing they're receiving the same love, care and attention that I would give my own.

So, whilst you focus on making memories with your family and friends, I'll make sure your four-legged family member enjoys the day just as much.

If you're looking for a trusted, caring and professional Dog Wedding Chaperone in Plymouth or the surrounding areas, I'd love to help make your special day even more memorable.

Why should I choose Hooley's Hounds?

At Hooley's Hounds, I believe every dog deserves to be treated like one of the family.

I understand that trusting someone else with your pet is a big decision, which is why I focus on providing a safe, reliable and personalised service that puts your dog's welfare first.

When you choose Hooley's Hounds, you can expect:

  • A caring, friendly and professional service

  • Tailored walks and visits to suit your dog's individual needs and personality

  • A Foundation Degree in Animal Behaviour & Psychology

  • A Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management

  • Level 2 Pet First Aid training

  • DBS checked and fully insured for your peace of mind

  • Regular communication and updates, so you know how your dog is getting on

  • A genuine passion for animal welfare and building lasting relationships with both dogs and their owners

Whether your dog enjoys adventurous walks, prefers quiet one-to-one time, or is playing a special role in your wedding day, you can be confident they'll receive the same love, care and attention that I'd give my own.

My aim is simple: to provide a service that you and your dog look forward to every time.

How much does your Wedding Chaperone Service cost?

Every wedding is unique, so our Wedding Chaperone packages are tailored to your individual plans and requirements. Our packages start from just £180 for 4 hours.

Pricing will depend on factors such as the duration of care, travel, the number of dogs, and the level of involvement throughout the day.

Please get in touch for a personalised quotation. We'd be delighted to discuss your plans and create a bespoke package that suits both you and your four-legged family member.

What does a Wedding Chaperone do?

Our role is to take all the worry out of including your dog in your wedding day.

Depending on your requirements, we can collect your dog from home, provide exercise before the ceremony, transport them safely to your venue, accompany them during photographs or the ceremony, supervise them throughout the day, and return them home afterwards. 

Our aim is to ensure your dog is happy, safe and well cared for, allowing you to fully enjoy your special day.

What if my dog is nervous or anxious?

Every dog is different, and we'll always work at your dog's pace.

Before your wedding, we'll arrange a meet and greet (if local) to get to know your dog and understand their personality, routine and any concerns you may have.

If, on the day, your dog becomes tired, nervous or overwhelmed, their welfare will always come first. We'll adapt the plan accordingly, whether that's giving them some quiet time, taking them for a walk, or returning them home early if that's in their best interests.

Can my dog walk down the aisle?

Absolutely! If you'd like your dog to play a special role in your ceremony, we'll work closely with you and your venue to make it happen. Every wedding is different, so we'll discuss the timings, logistics and your dog's temperament during your consultation to ensure everything runs as smoothly and safely as possible.

Where does my dog go after the ceremony?

That's entirely up to you!

Some couples choose for their dog to stay for photographs before being taken home, while others would like them to remain for part of the reception or evening celebrations.

We'll create a bespoke itinerary around your plans and ensure your dog is cared for throughout, before safely transporting them home or to another agreed location.

How many dogs can you look after?

We're happy to care for more than one dog, provided it's appropriate for their welfare and your wedding plans.

Please let us know during your enquiry and we'll discuss the best arrangements to ensure each dog receives the care and attention they deserve.
