Amanda's Ark Weddings

We offer a bespoke Dog Chaperone Wedding Service and can chaperone your dog to your wedding, for inclusion in your wedding ceremony photographs & even as Dog Ring Bearer! So many of us would love to include our dogs on our wedding day, but with the focus on having a fabulous time and looking after family and friends, it may not always seem possible.

We’ll chaperone your VIP canine guest…

Given that dogs are part of the family, it follows that we would love them to share in our big life events, like our weddings, too! However, the dilemma for couples has always been one of logistics: Who will bring your dog to the wedding, take care of them at the venue & then care for them whilst you’re all celebrating in the evening? Indeed, everyone who ordinarily care for your dog is already at your wedding!

By having a Professional Dog Chaperone, it allows you to include your dog in your wedding day – in photographs and even as Dog Ring-Bearer, but without one of your Wedding Party having to be on “Dog Handling Duty.” Your wedding photos will be richly enhanced by the inclusion of your Best-Pal & a relaxed and happy dog helps to create relaxed, engaging photos with yourselves.

We are flexible and can happily build a package that suits both you and your dog & also offer Home Dog Boarding both before and after your Wedding Day. We are wholly focused on the needs of the dog, its welfare & safety, alongside the safety of the wedding party/public and the venue.

“We just wanted to say thank you so much for taking care of our pooch, Hershey on our wedding day. What a gift it was to have with us on our special day as our flower girl! You put us at ease knowing Hershey was in a safe pair of hands on our big day and ensured she was kept safe … and well hydrated in the 35 degree heat! You were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. You made the whole process stress free from the planning before the big day, to making sure she got back home safely. Thank you so much again and we will 100% be recommending you to our friends!”

“We met Amanda at a wedding fair and upon first glance at what her and her company does she had ticked all the boxes when it came to what we do with our beloved Pomeranian on our wedding day and how we can have our dog part of our day. Having Amanda collect our dog the day before the wedding meant we were able to focus on the task in hand without worrying about where our little one was, what she needed and if she was okay as we knew she was being very well looked after. This was helped by lots of lovely updates from Amanda on Instagram with pictures of our dog being kissed, cuddled and pampered. This was a lovely touch and made us feel relaxed even more prior to the big day. On the wedding day itself Amanda was a calm influence on our dog as well as on us and was fantastic with being on hand for photographs and making sure our dog was fine, not stressed and as happy as we were. Out of all the things we paid for with regards to the wedding, Amanda’s services are at the top of the list when it comes to money well spent. We couldn’t recommend her enough and our dog is looking forward to seeing her again soon for day care.”

“We had already made peace with the idea that Koda wouldn’t be able to be present on our big day when we came across Amanda. She read my request and called me back that same evening. She would have to travel from Suffolk to Oxfordshire but made it work in combination with her personal plans. She has been incredibly flexible and helpful from the first time we chatted. Due to the distance, short time frame (and us not owning a car) meeting beforehand was tricky. It was however important to Amanda that she could spend some time with Koda prior to the wedding, so that he would be comfortable with her on the day. She therefore came to visit us in our hotel on the Friday prior to our Saturday wedding. We could immediately tell her priority was keeping Koda happy and safe: a good number of walks, making sure he would not overheat, decompression time, downtime, and so on. We are so thankful to Amanda for chaperoning Koda to our wedding so that we could have our fluffball present in our wedding pictures, whilst knowing she would then take him back to the hotel for a well-deserved snooze!”

“Our fur baby Maui loved being chaperoned by Amanda to our wedding. He is very shy with new people and we weren’t local to the area so introduced Maui to Amanda for the first time the day before our wedding day and were a little worried to begin with on how that would go. Amanda immediately made Maui feel comfortable and within 10 minutes of driving away, we had a video of him walking the beautiful Suffolk countryside with his new best friend Amanda. Amanda came to our venue picking up and dropping off Maui exactly to our wedding schedule and every time you could see that he was completely at ease with her. We don’t know really what we’d have done without her. For any dog parents getting married, it’s a supplier that shouldn’t be forgotten and we were lucky to find Amanda on the doorstep of our venue. I would have no trouble highly recommending her, she was a superstar. Thank you, Amanda, Maui misses you very much and we hope to visit soon.”
