Wait this kind of service exists? This is genius!
It sure does! Most couples don't realize this is possible, but including your pet in your wedding day is easier than you might think.
The problem most couples run into isn't wanting to include their pet, it's not knowing how to do it without adding stress & chaos to an already full day. Who watches the dog during the ceremony? Who handles the transport to & from the venue? Who makes sure they're calm and camera-ready when it's time for photos?
That's exactly what we do, and we'd love to help!
As Houston's dedicated pet wedding attendants, we take complete care of your pet's experience from start to finish - before, during, and after your wedding, so you never have to leave your reception to check on your fur baby.
Professional, Prepared, & Passionate About Your Day!
Our Story
In the summer of 2024, when I looked at the Houston wedding market & saw that there was a unique need, dedicated to helping couples include their pets in one of the most important days of their lives, I knew I needed to help!
If anyone understands the depth of the bond between a person and their dog(s), the kind of love that shows up without conditions, that anchors you when nothing else does, it's me.
Dakota my soul dog has since crossed the rainbow bridge, but her spirit is woven into everything we do. She lives on in our logo, in our values, and in every tail wag we get to be part of on someone's most special day. And now, every wedding we're a part of is a small tribute to her legacy.
