  Celebrating 7 Years of  Wedding Day Dog Nanny From One Dream to a Trusted Team 🐾 Seven years...... i t still feels strange saying those words out loud! Back in 2019, Wedding Day Dog Nanny started with one simple belief:  your dog deserves to be part of your wedding day, without you having to worry about their care. At the time, it was just me, a love of dogs, a passion for weddings, and a determination to create something that simply didn't exist. I wanted couples to experience the joy of seeing their four-legged family member walk down the aisle, pose for those unforgettable photographs and share in the celebrations, while knowing they were in safe, experienced hands.  I had no idea where that journey would lead.

That growth is something I never imagined, but it has only been possible because o...

🐾 Real Wedding: Kanya, Skye & Archie at Lusty Glaze Beach, Cornwall A paws-itively perfect beach wedding at Lusty Glaze in Cornwall featuring three VIP pups O ur first wedding of the 2025 season was at the incredible Lusty Glaze Beach — and what a way to start! This amazing venue has it all… the views, the gorgeous staff, and a relaxed vibe, but with just the right amount of organisation and support — not just for the couple and their guests, but for us suppliers too. We honestly couldn’t ask for more. The day started with a walk down the 120-something steps to paradise… and on this particular morning (after a whole week of sunshine!), it decided to absolutely chuck it down! But even with the rain, I was buzzing to be kicking off the season. View from the top ! Rewind to the Wedding Fair… A year ago, I’d met Tony and Sarah at the Lusty Glaze Wedding Fair. Kanya (their gorgeous spaniel) was a rather soggy dog at the time after enjoying a splash in the water. She’s an energetic...
