Helping your dog become part of your special day

It’s widely known that we’re a nation of dog lovers but if you want your four-legged friend at your wedding is it really possible?

The answer is most definitely yes, after Staffordshire-based dog lover Jacqueline Smith launched Quintessential Wedding Day Dogs, recently.

The self-confessed dog lover, who also has kennels and grooming facilities spotted a niche in the market when her daughter tied the knot and wanted the family’s labrador to be a part of the day.

As part of her service, Jacqueline will either collect the dog on the day – or night before – of your wedding, give them a full groom including a spa bath and trim if needed, deliver them to the venue and play chaperone. Alternatively, she will collect your dog, look after it during the ceremony and be on stand-by for when family photos are taken for that all important shot with your pooch. The ultimate package includes a luxury sleep over for your pet on the wedding night in Jacqueline’s five-star boarding kennels.

Jacqueline comments: “Dogs are a big part of the family and we want to help them remain part of the family unit before, during and after the special day.” Jacqueline can be reached at https://www.quintessentialweddingdaydogs.co.uk/index.html
