How to Include Your Dog in Your Wedding
Can your dog be part of your wedding without you having to worry about them all day?Absolutely. That’s exactly what a wedding pet attendant can make happen. For C+S, Pawsitive Moments helped make it happen with their adorable pup, Kylo, at their wedding at Peach Creek Ranch in College Station, Texas
Including your dog in your wedding is one of the sweetest ways to make your celebration feel like you. But there’s a lot more to having your dog at a wedding than simply bringing them along. Who picks them up and drops them off? Who keeps an eye on them during photos? Who handles potty breaks? What happens when the food comes out and your dog suddenly discovers that bacon wrapped dates are nearby?
For C + S, we helped incorporate Kylo into their individual first-look moments. This gave each of them some special time with their pup before the ceremony and created photos that captured the excitement of the day from Kylo’s perspective, too.
Kylo got to be part of C + S’s wedding ceremony, which meant we needed to make sure he was ready for the transition from relaxed photo time to a much more structured and exciting part of the day.
Once the ceremony was over, we got Kylo back into the mix for more wedding photos with the newlyweds and their bridal party.
This is one of the biggest benefits of having a wedding pet attendant instead of family or a friend: you don’t have to choose between including your dog and your guests enjoying your wedding.

What does a wedding pet attendant actually do?
For Kylo’s day, our job included:
🐾 Meeting Kylo on-site and getting him comfortable
📸 Helping include him in first-look photos
💍 Coordinating his role in the wedding ceremony
📸 Assisting with post-ceremony wedding photos
💩Providing potty breaks throughout the day
🥓 Monitoring him around food and appetizers
❤️ Watching his energy and comfort level with breaks
🐕 Keeping him safely supervised while the bride and groom (+their family & friends) enjoyed their wedding
Our Husky, Kylo was able to enjoy being a part of our special day thanks to them–from the get-go they’re very detail oriented and on top of everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Our Coordinator told us how impressed she was with Pawsitive Moments and that was no different from the reactions we got from our guests. All day we got constant praise for how professional Kurchi and her team were and how well they handled Kylo. It was such a joy getting to not have to constantly worry where or what our dog was doing because we knew that he was in the best of hands. From our first call to when they left we knew we made the best decision in hiring Pawsitive Moments. Would highly recommend 10x! As wedding vendors ourselves we know how much time and planning goes into making couples day as smooth as possible and we couldn’t be more impressed with Kurchi and her team!
