You’ve spent months organising the biggest day of your life, booked the venue, sent out the invites, ordered the cake and flowers and said ‘yes to the dress’ but yet someone important is missing.. your beloved furry best friend.

Why wouldn’t your pet be present on your wedding day? They are as much a part of the family as your Best man or Bridesmaids so why not have them be part of your celebrations?

Together Furever Weddings VanYou may have already considered it but logistically how could it work, you’re going to be too busy to look after them and all of the people you would trust to look after them are actually with you so you resign yourself to celebrate the day without them, however this also could cause extra stress and anxiety as Kennels or boarders may not be an option and you would spend your day worrying about them, taking your mind off of the best day of your lives.

At Together Furever Weddings we hope to eliminate all of that worry and stress and make your day even more pawfect meaning you can relax and enjoy every part of your Furry Tail Wedding celebrations.

We offer a highly individual, personalised wedding Dog Chaperone service so your family pet can be included in every celebration and let us look after them like they were part of our family.

We have an enhanced DBS check, have business and public liability insurance and are pet first aid trained. We are also a member of NARPS (National association of Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers) and the Pet Industry Federation.

About Us

HelenHi, Im Helen and I am your pet chaperone. I have a lifelong passion for all animals and have been lucky enough to have been loved by such a variety, from horses to birds from fish to ferrets and dogs from tea cup Yorkshire Terriers to Marley our beautiful Great Dane.

At present we are guardians of 6 year old Cockapoo Oscar and our 11 month old smooth haired Cockapoo Ziggy.

In 2019 we were getting married and we started to worry about who would be able to look after our boy Oscar (we didn’t have Ziggy at this time). Oscar is a huge part of our family and  comes everyone with us, we were worried as all of our friends and family would be with us on the day and we wanted him to be a pivotal part of our special celebration. Unfortunately for us our venue wouldn’t allow dogs (we pleaded with them we were desperate and were thinking how we could even smuggle him in) but obviously realistically this wasn’t possible and we were devastated. He was looked after by a local boarder but we missed having him with us and when I look back at our photographs it always feels like someone is missing.

HelenIt got me thinking how many other couples are going through this dilemma and feeling heartbroken if they cant have their furry best friend with them on their special day. So I created Together Furever weddings to be able to help your perfect day become even more Pawfect….

What is a Dog Chaperone?

  • Our professional and friendly Dog Chaperone service allows you to include your furry best friend into your celebrations.

  • You can choose how you would like your pet involved, Best Dog or Dog of Honour, Ring Bearer, Flower Girl, or to welcome your guests. Together we can also discuss any attire you would like them to wear.

  • We provide dog handling and assistance throughout your requested booking including exercising, feeding, hydrating and toileting incl lots of playtime and walks.

  • We offer a variety of pricing options to fit any budget or event. This can include proposals, photo shots, rehearsals, vow renewals and weddings.

  • We can personalise your event and offer a no obligation consultation where we get to know your pet, you and your story. We will also discuss the best way for your pet to feature in your big day.

  • If you wish we can escort your pet down the aisle and work with the photographer to capture those pawfect family memories.

  • To further enhance the experience we offer several upgrades to our packages incl a chauffeur service with paw printed car ribbons and bows to transport your pet to and from the venue.

  • For tailored exclusive experience we can create a customised package to enable us to combine other services incl pet sitting and overnight stays.

Although Dogs are top of the guest list at Together Furever Weddings we can cater for all of your beloved pets.

What’s Included?

No Obligation Consultation

  • A free initial consultation, this can be face to face (within 40 miles of my location), zoom/facetime/whatsapp to discuss your requirements.

  • This will last around 50 mins and will be a great opportunity to get to know each other and if in person it will be great to meet with your pets. We can go through any worries or concerns you may have, it may be you want to surprise your guests so we can make a surprise entrance or have them bring the rings down the aisle, this will be the time to create a plan for the day.

  • One we have discussed all of the details I will email a quote to you and if you decide to go ahead a deposit will be taken to secure the date.

Chaperone Duties

  • I will be with your pet as discussed at our meeting for around 2 hours. I am very flexible and adaptable which is important if on the day your pet is over excited or anxious and not able to continue with the chosen activity.

  • They could be a meeter and greeter for your guests, you could have one of the Bridesmaids or Groomsmen walk them down the aisle and then hand them to me ‘in the wings’

  • I will keep them occupied until the photographer is ready and provide them help in getting the best shots

Post Wedding Care

FAQs

Can we have our Dog with us all day (incl ceremony and reception)?2022-05-10T11:14:10+01:00

Your pets are our top priority, their health and welfare is the most important concern. The excitement, noise, different smells can cause some pets to feel overwhelmed and increase their stress and anxiety levels if exposed to long hours of heightened excitement. Therefore we recommend no longer than 2 hours. This will give them plenty of time to be involved with your guests, the ceremony and all of the photographs.

Where are you based and how far do you cover?2022-05-10T11:13:50+01:00

We are based in Weston super Mare BS22 and can cover up to 40 miles incl within our packages. We can cover outside of that but would charge 0.45p a mile on top of package price.

Do we have to pick one of your packages?2022-05-10T11:13:31+01:00

No, we are very flexible. Every wedding and every pet are different and individual. We offer a no obligation initial meeting where we can discuss all of your requirements and design a pawfect package just for you.

How many Dogs/Pets can we have?2022-05-10T11:13:10+01:00

It will depend on the venue and your ideas, if an extra handler is needed this will incur an extra fee.

What happens after the ceremony and photographs?2022-05-10T11:12:49+01:00

Again we will discuss and plan this in our meetings, we have several options. We can deliver your pet to your chosen drop off, family friend, boarder. We can deliver them to your home and stay with them for a couple of hours to ensure they are settled, fed and relaxed. If you have chosen we can extend the stay to 10pm in your own home, venues of friend’s house. Or finally we can stay in your chosen location overnight until the following day at 10am.

What happens if there was an emergency?2022-05-10T11:12:23+01:00

We will take all relevant emergency contacts with us. This could be a close friend or family member. We also collect the details of your own vet and the closet vet to the ceremony. We also take a thorough assessment of your pet incl their likes and dislikes, any medication, allergies, triggers to behaviours etc

Do you offer Grooming?2022-05-10T11:11:56+01:00

No we don’t, however we recommend you have your pet washed or groomed at least the day before. We will brush and deodorise them on the day, we will also ensure any muddy paws are wiped clean.

Important Considerations

  • Make sure when looking at your venues that they are pet friendly

  • If its not a secret make sure your guests are aware there will be a Dog present in case you have anyone with an allergy or a fear of Dogs. It’s a good idea to let your chaperone know who this is at the wedding so they can stay away from them

  • Ensure your pet has the right temperament for the role you have chosen.

  • Rehearse with them; dress them in the attire you’ve chosen so they get used to it.

  • If you are choosing real flowers as a collar please make sure these are pet friendly as some plants and foliage are poisonous.

  • Their health and welfare will always be our main priority.
