Wedding Dog Chaperone Service
We take the lead whilst you're tying the knot!
At Bed and Bone we offer a professional dog wedding chaperone service. Think of us as your friendly dog sitter for the big day, helping your furry friend be part of the celebrations too!
Our dogs are part of the family, so having your dog at your wedding is a great idea, but it can be tricky to plan, especially if your usual dog sitters will be enjoying the big day with you.
Imagine the joy of having your beloved dog by your side as you walk down the aisle! Whether as the cutest ring bearer or simply joining in the fun, mingling with your family and friends, your dog will bring so many smiles and create unforgettable memories.
We cover Central Scotland, Edinburgh and the Lothians, the Borders, and Fife.
How does it work?
Firstly, there is an initial chat to understand your wedding dog care requirement.
Next, we'll go for a walk together, this is a great opportunity for us to go over the details of the wedding arrangements. If the logistics don't quite work out don't worry, this can happen with other guest' dogs or elopements. We'll book in a video call, and set aside some extra time on the wedding morning.
As the day approaches, we will confirm all the finer details to ensure we understand exactly what you need from us on your wedding day.
