Because we are dog owners, we know dogs are part of the family which is how this service was born. We therefore want to provide the best possible care whilst chaperoning your dog, we will plan the day with you in line with your dog’s personality/needs so that your day you can include them in a stress-free way. We do not offer to chaperone dog at wedding reception as we feel this is not in the best interest of the dog(s).
Because we care, every booking we donate to the Charity St Bernard Trust to help them with their good work.
The areas we cover
Somerset, North & West Somerset, and surrounding counties, but we can provide this service can be available nationwide.
Our Team
Amanda-Louise is the owner of this business which sits within her weddings and events business. Other members of our dog chaperone team who are all experienced dog owners who adore working with dogs (and are personally known to Amanda-Louise), and are protected by our insurance.
What does a chaperone provide?
All our wedding packages are bespoke and can be tailored to meet your needs, our aim is you only pay for what you need. Your dog can be involved in as little or as much during your special day, and this is determined by your dog. Together we work with our clients to learn about the dog.
We know that a wedding venue and day will be very different for your dog, and our aim is to make it as happy but without anxiety for you all. That’s why we can collect the morning of the wedding, go for a walk, brush to be photo ready (or we can arrange to take them to a groomers for bath/groom), escort to the wedding, chaperone at wedding including comfort breaks (food, water, toilet needs) and to keep them calm (we can sit with your dog as honorary dog guest only or a member of the wedding party can walk them down the aisle or we can do this and then take a seat), stay for photos at the wedding venue and support photographer to take photos with your dog. We then drop back to your friend’s house or your home, or we can offer boarding by taking to a licensed kennel or your dog(s) can stay at our home (unlicensed). If our home from home experience is chosen, we welcome any bedding, toys, bowels, you bring your own dog food etc (all things which will help reduce your dog’s anxieties).
If your dog has anxiety during your wedding, we will find a quiet place to settle your dog – this is different to your dog being excited to see you though! We often find that how dogs behave at home is how they will behave at the wedding, which is why we like to discuss with you realistically how your dog is likely to want to be involved.

What would you like to know?
Help and
Faqs
What are the expectations if my pet is excitable, nervous, boisterous?
The important thing is to consider the welfare of your dog.Ask yourself do they have the right temperament to cope with your celebrations.Weddings are stressful for humans so your dog might have heightened anxieties too. We will, of course, discuss with you of ways in which you care for your pet, and what are your pet’s strengths ie do they sit, or how they respond to commands (or not!).
There is the saying ‘never work with animals’ and there is a reason that things do not a lways go to plan! This may be more about your expectations! For example, your dog may not wish to glide down the aisle with your rings, but we will be there to catch them the other end!
This goes for photographs too, it may be that your dog will only wish for a couple of photos before he/she is off to find something more exciting, so we will discuss with your photographer beforehand.
Why do you not recommend my dog attends the reception?
We often find it’s a long day for your dog after attending the wedding, having photos, and receptions can be overwhelming, so we offer to take your pet home for some well-deserved treats and rest.

Yes of course! But we generally leave this to you to source – after all you know your dog’s style.

What does Dog Chaperone mean?
We know dogs are part of the family, which is why many couples want their dog or dogs to be with them on their wedding day. We support that to happen. We can be your dog or dogs chaperone at the wedding ceremony and wedding photos. Think of us as your dog's plus one!
Some couples have a dog that will readily walk down the aisle carrying the wedding rings - this is known as a ring bearer. We help the dog to do this.
Or some dogs we help to be the VIP guest greeter, so we help them to be the meet and greet furry host ready as your guests walk into the wedding ceremony.
Another option which is ideal for those dogs who cant cope with walking down the aisle, but want to be part of the wedding service, is we sit with the dog or dogs as honorary guest.
We also offer other services such as pet sitting so couples enjoy the wedding reception, leaving us to care for the dog or dogs.

A massive thank you to Amanda at Somerset Wedding Day Dog Chaperone Service. We wouldnt have been able to have our 2 little sausage dogs Lola & Cali at our wedding without Amanda's help and flexibility. You were so kind and helpful and allowed us to have the most perfect day with the dogs popping in and out throughout the day to ensure we wasnt overwhelmed and the dogs werent either. You kept our kind at ease with our pre zoom meeting and sent up lovely pictures and updates after the wedding of the day they had with you. We achieved the photographs we had our hearts set on and we couldnt have done it without you! Thank you so much for taking care of them for us.
Thank you so much, (Lizzie and Jordan) you have been an amazing help today with our three dogs, and we honestly couldn't have done it without you.
Hey Amanda-Louise, thank you so much for last night when I proposed to my girlfriend, we both had an amazing time. Also thank you for organising such a flawless evening. Please thank everyone you booked. We havent opened your bottle of bubbly yet, as we really like the sentimentality of it!
I cant thank Amanda-Louise enough for all her help with my marriage proposal to my girlfriend, honestly it was perfect, am so grateful. Love the photos too
Thank you Amanda-Louise for helping me create an exclusive weekend occasion to propose to my girlfriend. I appreciated your updates and involvement. She said yes! All the staff were amazing, the ship you booked was also magnificent.
COVID forced us to have a split wedding (21/3/20) and reception. (15/9/21). When it came to the reception we required a celebrant to pull things together. We were both stressed and had little idea how to proceed. My wife came across Amanda Louise. What a find! She instantly took hold, guiding us as to the available options and filled us with confidence pulling together a bespoke ceremony that was perfect on the day. On the big day, she arrived well-presented and in good time. A true gem.
Amanda is a above all a lovely lady with a friendly, approachable and totally understanding manner. She delivered our renewal of vows ceremony on Exmoor in exactly the way we requested. We wanted a simple, no frills ceremony with just the 2 of us. It was lighthearted, fun and very emotional. We would highly recommend her services.
Thank you Amanda for making our day for the twins Naming and 1st birthday so special and personal. The service was just as we wanted it to be and all your suggestions beforehand were so helpful. I would highly recommend Amanda, she really helped to make a very special memory for us and our family.
We just wanted to thank you again for yesterday, it was such a lovely ceremony and we all thought you made the day. Thank you so much, With kind regards
Amanda is the most lovely celebrant & we couldn't be more happier that we had chosen her to be a part of our big wedding day which was in October 2021 :) With just days away from our big day, Amanda worked hard in order to prioritise getting our wedding script written up for our ceremony in 1 week which she did & did it perfectly & we are so grateful for all that she has done for us :) She made me & my partner feel very comfortable on the day, we had lots of banter & felt that she captured our love story perfectly & we loved all the other elements which were used in our ceremony from the lighting of candles to remember loved ones & the mixing of unity sand. All of the family & guests commented on how lovely & professional Amanda is & she truly was like one of our family. Me & my partner would just like to say that we would highly recommend Amanda for her services as she is a wonderful celebrant & lovely person all round & can guarantee that you will treasure some great memories. Thank you again Amanda xx
We booked Amanda-Louise to be our celebrant and what an amazing day it was! Amanda’s communication is second to none and I never felt as though I had to chase for any responses or updates, which made the experience stress free. On the day of our wedding, Amanda greeted me before I went into the ceremony room and assured me everything from the layout to the guests arrival had gone to plan and we were ready to start the ceremony. We wanted to include traditions from mine and my partners heritage (British and Greek) and Amanda captured the balance perfectly. My partners family were amazed to see Greek traditions included in our ceremony, which gave it that special touch. The ceremony (completely written by Amanda) was so personal and was everything we could have hoped for. Amanda was absolutely brilliant and went above and beyond for me and Zakk. Amanda does a variety of ceremonies, so we will definitely be booking her in the future. Thank you so much for making our day simply perfect.
Thank you very much for sending and emailing the funeral service script. You have been so helpful during this whole process and I would recommend you and your services to everyone. Take care. Kind regards
Bespoke ceremony our guests loved - Amanda-Louise did a great job of working with us to learn our stories and what we wanted from the ceremony and incorporate them into a personal script. She worked with us right up until the day before the wedding making last minute tweaks and adjustments. Our guests called out how unique the ceremony was, and appreciated the good humor she injected.
I just wanted to thank you for sending through your ceremony script for dad's funeral. It was presented so beautifully and the personal letters to us all was a really thoughtful touch. I know mom is great full too, and she thought you did a wonderful job of presenting the ceremony and celebrating dad's remarkable life. He truly was one of lifes funny and happy people. In addition your support and gentle manner on the day of dad's funeral hasn't gone unnoticed either. Thank you for introducing yourself to my son Louie, and offering him some reassuring words as well as noticing the scarf he was wearing for his grandad. Warm regards,
I was a photographer at a beautifully led wedding ceremony by Amanda in Dorset back in October. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, making it very easy for me to get the images I needed to make sure my clients were very happy! Amanda allowed me to get in close to get those intimate shots and unique angles. She also gave me a very good briefing as I was hired at last minute and it was far from a traditional wedding ceremony! I would highly recommend Amanda as a wedding celebrant if you are looking for someone professional, caring and will make your ceremony very rememberable :)
The wedding vows really got to us, very well written and they revealed to me how important they both are to each other – Chris & Emily. The wedding ceremony was so special, it was so nice to have both your heritages incorporated - Steve & Nicky WOW, Amanda-Louise the speeches & the emotions – such a beautiful and memorable wedding service - Natasha. Loved the speeches, brought tears to our eyes. Seeing the knots being tied and the honey and walnut ritual was great to see. Such a wonderful ceremony - the Skinner Family. The wedding ceremony was beautiful and personal. I loved the tying of the knot and how all the family was involved - Lisa Mason & Phil Nutman
Oh, my goodness that service was so them, it was beautiful - Linda Woollaston (mother of the groom). It was a beautiful day and ceremony, Mollie looked stunning as always too - Becci Roseff, Chief Bridesmaid. Such a beautiful ceremony - Julia Pope. What an amazing wedding - Janee Irwin-Davies
Thank you for your pack with Dad's service details. It was presented brilliantly and was great to read over. Thank you again for your touch on things. Unfortunately you (as a Professional Funeral Celebrant) are someone I hope not to see again in the near future but if I do, I know the ceremony is in the best of hands x
Amanda was the perfect celebrant. She managed to write our ceremony after just couple conversations & a questionnaire. She accommodated all our requests & guided us when we were unsure. We felt she captured our story, our personalities & our love of each other perfectly with lots light-hearted humour and just enough romance for us. On the day Amanda was warm & helpful She made us both feel comfortable, and she fitted in as part of the family.
I wanted to say how lovely the service was. I loved what you said, and it was just right for Dad. You were so professional, considerate, and caring and both me and Mum felt looked after by yourself and by the Funeral Directors Friendship & Sons.

Wow, Amanda-Louise the speeches & the emotions – such a beautiful and memorable wedding service
The wedding ceremony (of Chelsea & Zakk) was so special, it was so nice to have both your heritages incorporated.
Your vows really got to us. Very well written and they revealed to me how important you both are to each other.
It was a pleasure to work alongside Amanda-Louise on a recent wedding. She was very well organised, calm and professional throughout. Thank you!!
At a time when as a family we were in the depths of sorrow at our loss Amanda - Louise arrived. It was as if the weight of trying to make sure that my husbands life was remembered and honoured was completely understood by Amanda and we all relaxed. Our memories were brought to life in the service and I found it such a comfort. We all felt totally safe opening our hearts to her and were so impressed in the skills she has and empathy she has to understand how we all felt.
Amanda is a loyal, empathetic and conscientious person. She gives 100% to any task assigned to her, and will execute each task with professionalism and dedication.
An enthusiastic and vibrant person who will bring laughter to any celebration
I have had the great pleasure of working with Amanda-Louise on several occasions and she is such a fun, charismatic Celebrant that would enhance any celebration, be it happy or sad. She’s a delight to work with and beautifully creative. Using her great life skills and experience, she relishes in crafting a fabulous ceremony that will be so personal to you, whether you’re looking for serious or fun, you won’t be disappointed.
A friend recommended Amanda-Louise to be the celebrant at my mother’s funeral. Like most people in my position I found the prospect of organising not only a funeral but my own mother’s funeral during Covid19 times. But Amanda-Louise was absolutely amazing. She was so caring, compassionate, understanding and most of all friendly. She listened intently to the type of funeral service we required (I didn’t know there were so many options), made notes, asked questions to get to know not only us but my mother too – consequently offered suggestions. The result was amazing if you could say a funeral was perfect – this was genuinely it. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to Amanda – Louise’s professional and compassionate approach to a very emotional event. Whatever the event if I could employ Amanda-Louise again I would have no hesitation whatsoever.
I have now directed three funeral ceremonies with Amanda-Louise, who has a gift for personalising a ceremony with such enthusiasm, compassion and grace, always with fine attention to detail
I cannot praise Amanda enough. Clearly professional in her role she brought direction and comfort in equal measure, and yes, some humour to a very special Celebration of Life. A separate session with the young children attending gave them a role in the proceedings and an understanding of the meaning of the meeting. I recommend her services for any celebration, happy or sad.
Beautiful service for my late husband John. Amanda did him proud, she took the service with feeling and respect. Thank you Amanda.
Amanda had the difficult job of creating a beautiful ceremony that brought together many different parts of our lost loved ones life. She rung up and spoke to each sibling to get stories and details needed for the ceremony. I never felt more at ease knowing she was the celebrant for the funeral. What she came up with was beautiful and she treated my dad with the upmost respect and honour. She made a bad day manageable and it was simply beautiful.
Amanda-Louise was from the outset very friendly, caring and thoughtful. Such a good service provided to us in our time of grief and the service was more than we than we could have expected. I feel like I have know her for years and that if I ever need to talk she will be there for me.
