Wedding Chaperone Service

Because your special day wouldn't be complete without your best friend.

At Tailz 'n' Trailz, we know your dog is part of the family, and when it comes to your wedding day, you shouldn't have to choose between celebrating with loved ones and ensuring your dog is well cared for. That where we come in.

Our Wedding Dog Chaperone Service is designed to take the stress out of including your dog in your big day. Whether you want them walking down the aisle, starring in your wedding photos, or simple being there, we'll handle every detail - from pre-wedding walks and grooming touch-ups to safe transport, comfort breaks, and one on one attention throughout the day.

Based in Cottingham, East Yorkshire, we offer a range of flexible packages to suit everything from the intimate ceremonies to full-day celebrations. With professional care, kind handling, and a genuine love for dogs, we'll make sure your pup is pampered, calm and camera-ready.
