Hear It From the Happy Couples
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the incredible care and attention you gave to Ozzy on our special day. It meant the world to us that he could be such a big part of it – and that was entirely down to you.
This amazing duo are the best! Our wonderful pup Aida could be part of our special day and we didn’t have to worry about her at all. Such a great idea and worth every penny. We also opted for the stay over service too and Aida had a sleepover at our house with Kate and snuggled with her all night! These ladies truly do care about dogs, offering an initial call and then a pre-wedding meet up to get acquainted.
We had such an amazing experience with Waggy Weddings from start to finish. We had an initial phone chat with them where we went through everything we were hoping for from the day and, more importantly, could chat to them about our dog Beryl's individual quirks. They were so thorough and it was clear immediately how much knowledge and experience they have.
What an absolute gem of a business. Kit and Kate wow. Best money spent of our whole wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and so so proffesional and organised. Instead of being millies chaperone they actually felt like friends. Looked after millie so well and was prompt on the timings for the locations of millie through out. Millie enjoyed her stay with them. The suprise gift at the end is just something else. Melted our hearts. Would recommend any day not one bit of negative feedback can we actually give. All positive and some. Totally amazing.
Waggy weddings assisted our Husky Wolf at our wedding in July. They was amazing with him as he can be a big ball of energy! He was so well behaved on the day, greeted all our guests and was the ring bearer on the day. We was very nervous to have Wolf there as Husky’s can be mischievous but Waggy weddings had him well under control! We can’t thank Kit and Kate enough, we wouldn’t have been able to have Wolf there without them!

Common Questions About Canine Chaperoning
It is completely natural to have questions about how the logistics will work on the big day. After all, you want your dog to be there, but you don't want to be worrying about them when you should be enjoying your champagne.
Here are the answers to the most common questions we get asked by couples planning their dog-friendly weddings.
Will you meet our dog before the wedding day?
Absolutely. We believe building a bond is essential. All our packages include a “Get to know your dog” visit (and a Zoom call) before the big day. This ensures your dog knows and trusts us, so they look to us for guidance – not you – when you are walking down the aisle.
What happens if my dog barks during the ceremony?
Don’t worry—we are qualified dog behaviourists, not just pet sitters.
We are trained to spot the subtle signs of stress or excitement before a bark happens. We use calming techniques and enrichment to keep them settled.
If they do become vocal, we will discreetly guide them away from the ceremony area for a “sniff break” without disrupting your vows.
Do you only cover Staffordshire?
While our base is in Staffordshire, we love a road trip! We cover weddings across the whole of the UK. For venues further afield, a small travel fee may apply, which we will discuss with you transparently during your consultation.
Can you take my dog home if the wedding is late at night?
Are you insured?
Yes, Waggy Wedding Events is fully insured for public liability, care, custody, and control. We take the safety of your pet (and your guests) incredibly seriously.
Still have a question?
Every wedding is unique, and every dog has their own wonderful personality. If you have a specific worry or a logistical challenge that isn't listed above, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation where we can discuss your specific plans and find a solution that works for you.
