Where your pup takes center aisle
Wedding dog chaperones serving Northern California since 2021
At Dog of Honor® Weddings & Events, we believe dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family.
They deserve to be part of life’s most important celebrations, especially your wedding day.
That’s why investing in a wedding dog chaperone isn’t just a thoughtful touch…it’s a way to make sure your dog is more than a guest — they’re an unforgettable part of your love story.
From striking a pose for photos, to trotting proudly down the aisle, and maybe even sharing in your first dance, your dog takes on the role of co-star — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
SERVICES
CHAUFFEUR
We’ll provide a safe ride for your pup to and from the wedding venue, anywhere in Northern California.
Let your guests stay to enjoy cocktail hour while your dog is safely escorted home to be fed, cuddled, and walked.
PHOTOGRAPHY ASSISTANCE
A big part of our role is to support your professional photographers, videographers, and content creators to capture AMAZING content of your fur child.
With our keen eye, we’ll ensure they look picture-perfect and give your team those big, puppy-dog eyes!
YOUR PUP’S PERSONAL
PUP-PARAZZI
Next to puppy kisses, we absolutely love capturing behind-the-scenes content of each and every Dog of Honor. From posing next to your welcome sign and the signature cocktail menu starring your favorite fur child, to candids with your guests giving all the love to your pup, we want you to relive the best day ever, from your dog’s POV!
CEREMONY ASSISTANCE
The most important part of the day … the ceremony! Whether your pup is running down the aisle to greet you or being escorted on a leash, we’ll ensure that new core memories are made.
Plus! We’ll help you select the PERFECT entrance song for your Dog of Honor that represents their unique personality.
SAFETY AND COMFORT
Behind the scenes, we are working diligently to ensure your dog stays cool and hydrated during the hot outdoor summer weddings, and any anxieties are managed accordingly so that your dog has the best day ever! Our entire team is pet CPR and first aid certified, and they always carry a pet first aid kit.
INVESTMENT
Every wedding is unique — and so is every Dog of Honor.
Let’s chat about how we can customize a plan that’s perfect for your pup’s role in your big day.
Wedding dog concierge services start at $700 for up to five hours of service.
Full-day, overnight, and destination weekend options are also available.
We are seasoned wedding professionals who are completely obsessed with dogs, and we truly have the best job ever.
With over 150 weddings as our guide, we know how to seamlessly (and joyfully) weave your furry BFF into the fabric of your day. We closely coordinate with your wedding planner, venue, and photographer so everything feels effortless. And because our “pack” of wedding dog chaperones believes in going above and beyond, we’re always looking for ways to make it the best day ever for you — but most importantly, for your Dog of Honor.

I cannot recommend Abigayle enough! I have had the pleasure of working with Abigayle many times at all different venues and with all different breeds, and she is always a delight! Abigayle is very attentive to detail and takes the time to get to know our couples and their fur babies so she can establish a great rapport. She is very professional, timely, and attentive. While I love having fur babies at weddings, it is 100% essential to have a caretaker take the stress and worry away from you on your day. -

We love seeing couples include their dogs on their wedding day, and Abigayle makes that possible in the best way. She is reliable, flexible in working with each couple to tailor their pup’s role, respectful of our venue and gardens, and handles every detail so our couples can relax and enjoy their celebration. She truly has a passion for what she does, and it shows. We feel incredibly confident when a couple hires Dog of Honor® as their wedding day pup plan, and our couples have that peace of mind as well -
