Wedding Companions
When we got married, we were fortunate enough to have our own dogs as our flower girls. Having them by our side made the day even more meaningful, and it’s one of our favorite memories from our wedding.
But we also know that including your dog in a wedding takes planning. Between photos, the ceremony, guests, and the excitement of the day, it can be difficult for friends or family members to fully enjoy the celebration while also keeping an eye on your pup.
That’s where we come in.
At Monterey Dog Moms, we created our Wedding Day Attendant service so couples can include their dogs in the celebration without the stress. Your pup gets their own dedicated handler for the day—someone who ensures they arrive safely, stay comfortable, are ready for their big moments, and get plenty of breaks, water, and treats along the way.
Whether your dog is walking down the aisle, posing for photos, greeting guests, or simply being part of the festivities, we’re there to make sure everything goes smoothly.
That way, you, your family, and your friends can focus on celebrating your big day—while we take care of your pup.
What's Included
Dedicated Pet Handler, Transportation
Your dog has a professional attendant focused solely on their care and comfort throughout the event.
We can safely pick up your pup, bring them to the venue, and take them home or back to your accommodations afterward.
Popular Wedding Dog Roles
Your dog can play a special part in your celebration in so many fun and memorable ways. Here are some of the most popular roles couples choose for their pups:
Flower Pup
One of the most beloved roles! Your dog walks down the aisle ahead of the wedding party, often wearing a floral collar, wreath, or bandana.
Ring Bearer
Your pup carries the rings down the aisle in a secure ring pillow or pouch (with supervision, of course!).
Aisle Escort
Your dog walks down the aisle alongside a member of the wedding party, flower girl, ring bearer, or even one of the couple.
Ceremony Greeter
Your pup helps welcome guests before the ceremony, soaking up pets and adding a fun, memorable touch to the day.
Photo Star
Your dog joins for portraits with the couple, wedding party, and family—often some of the most cherished photos from the day.
Reception Guest of Honor
Your pup can stop by the reception for a quick appearance, greeting guests and celebrating before heading home to relax.
At Monterey Dog Moms, we help coordinate every detail so your pup can shine in their special role while staying safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the celebration.
Ceremony Assistance and Post-Ceremony Care
Whether your dog is walking down the aisle, serving as a flower pup, or joining for photos, we’ll make sure they’re ready for their big moment.
If your dog isn’t staying for the reception, we’ll bring them home safely so you can continue celebrating worry-free.
