Because of this, dates do fill up, and we recommend reaching out as soon as your wedding date is confirmed to ensure availability.

Weddings are busy, high-energy environments, and it's completely normal for dogs to feel overstimulated at times. We have a protocol in place for exactly this. If your dog shows signs of stress or anxiety, we step away from the activity and move to a quieter space where they can decompress, calm down, and feel safe and supported before rejoining the celebration. Your dog's comfort and wellbeing always comes first.
-
We work with couples across all kinds of New Orleans wedding venues, from the French Quarter and the Garden District to City Park and everything in between. If you're planning a wedding in or around New Orleans and want your dog included, we're happy to connect and discuss the logistics of your specific venue and timeline.
-
Every wedding is different, but a typical day begins with us connecting with your dog well before the ceremony, or in many cases, your dog is already in our care ahead of the event. This allows time to settle in, get comfortable, and establish a calm presence before the excitement begins. From there, we coordinate around your timeline, supporting your dog through key moments like the ceremony and photos, managing transitions between locations, and providing breaks, water, and quiet time as needed. Throughout the day, we stay in close communication with our designated point of contact, whether that's the couple, a planner, or another trusted person, so everything runs smoothly. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe and supported from start to finish, so you can be fully present on your day.
