Dogs at Weddings Are on the Rise

Searches for "pets at weddings" have increased by a huge 200% in the past year alone!

As more UK couples plan destination weddings in Cornwall, many are choosing to bring their dog with them—not just as a guest, but as part of the wedding itself

And honestly? We think it’s about time!!

At Wedding Day Dog Nanny, we’ve been helping dogs enjoy wedding days since 2019, and we’ve never seen more couples choosing to make their dogs part of the celebration

Why Dogs Are Being Included in More Weddings

Dogs are part of the family—so it’s only natural they’d be part of the big day too. From small elopements to large coastal weddings, we’re seeing pups take on all kinds of meaningful roles:

  • Ring bearer

  • Dog of Honour / Best Man

  • Aisle escort

  • Ceremony companion

  • Greeter for guests and photos

But it’s not just about cute outfits or photo ops. It’s about connection, comfort, and celebrating with your full family—including your dog.

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...
