Making sure they don't miss out

Created by Georgie, a fully qualified and insured dog groomer with over 8 years of professional experience working with dogs, Dolly & Co Weddings was created from the understanding that dogs truly are part of the family.

After years of caring for people's much-loved dogs through Dolly & Co Grooming, Georgie believes they deserve to be part of life's biggest moments too.

Dolly & Co Weddings allows couples to have their dog there for their special day while having the reassurance that they are being cared for by someone experienced and trusted.

What's Included?

A little more about what I'll take care of for you and your dog.

Pre-Wedding Consultation & Meet and Greet

Before your wedding, we'll arrange an in-person Meet and Greet so I can get to know your dog and they can get comfortable with me. We'll discuss their routine, personality, needs and wedding-day plans, and enjoy a short walk together.

Collection & Transport

I'll collect your dog from home or another agreed location and take care of their transport to the wedding venue and safely home again afterwards.

Pre-Wedding Walk

Included with The Best Dog and Guest of Honour, giving your dog time to stretch their legs, have a toilet break and burn off some energy before the excitement begins.

Wedding-Ready Touch-Up

A final brush-through, clean-up of paws or face where needed, and help putting on wedding accessories such as a bow tie, bandana or flower collar.

Ceremony Chaperoning

I'll stay responsible for your dog throughout the ceremony, keeping them comfortable and settled while you concentrate on getting married.

Aisle Assistance

Whether your dog is walking with a member of your wedding party or needs a little help from me, I'll help their big entrance run as smoothly as possible.

Supervised Time With Guests

Your dog can enjoy being part of the celebrations and saying hello to your guests while remaining safely supervised throughout.

Wedding Photo Assistance

I'll work alongside your photographer, handling and positioning your dog where needed and helping get their attention for those special photographs.

Water, Toilet & Quiet Breaks

I'll monitor your dog's body language and make sure they have regular water, toilet breaks and quiet time away from the celebrations whenever they need it.

Safe Return Home & Settling

When your dog's part in the celebrations is finished, I'll safely take them home and make sure they're comfortable and settled before leaving.

Homecoming Care

Included with Guest of Honour or available as a £40 add-on. This includes their evening feed, a short walk or toilet break and settling at home. Approximately 30 minutes of additional care; evening pet sitting is not included.

Wedding Day Accessory Included

Exclusive to Guest of Honour. A wedding bandana, bow tie or floral accessory will be provided for your dog to wear during their time at the wedding and collected again afterwards.

Testimonials

From some of our lovely couples and their four-legged guests.

Georgie you have been so amazing I can't even express my gratitude. Fergus is always so anxious and nervous in new environments and you always made sure he was comfortable and happy. We couldn't have chosen a better person to look after him, thank you again so so much.
