You’ve pictured it a hundred times — walking down the aisle, the music playing, and your dog trotting beside you in their bowtie or floral collar.
It’s the moment that makes your guests melt — the one you’ll remember forever.
But what most couples don’t picture is what happens after the ceremony.
Your dog starts to bark during the vows.
They get restless during photos.
Someone forgets to bring their water bowl.
And suddenly, your “fun idea” becomes one more thing to manage on an already full day.
That’s why having a friend watch your dog on your wedding day isn’t doing them (or you) any favors.
And it’s exactly why couples across Atlanta trust Praline’s Backyard Dog Services to make their wedding dog experience seamless, calm, and joyful — from the first rehearsal to the final dance.
The Hard Truth: Friends Mean Well, But They Can’t Be Everywhere
Your friends love you. They adore your dog. And they truly want to help.
But on your wedding day, even the most responsible friend gets pulled in a dozen directions — photos, speeches, family introductions, and the dance floor.
What starts as “Sure, I can hold the leash for a bit!” often turns into:
-
A stressed-out dog that doesn’t know where to go
-
Missed moments because your friend was managing potty breaks
-
Forgotten details like treats, clean-up bags, or water
-
No one left to bring your dog home safely afterward
Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful moments of your life — and your dog deserves to be part of it without becoming a source of stress.
That’s where a Wedding Pet Attendant changes everything.

Why Hiring a Pro Is the Kindest Choice for Your Dog
Your dog feels your energy. On a wedding day full of emotion, excitement, and noise, even the calmest dog can feel overwhelmed.
Professional attendants are trained to read canine body language and help your dog decompress throughout the day.
We ensure:
-
Scheduled breaks away from crowds
-
Quiet spots to rest and reset
-
Positive reinforcement during transitions
-
Safety at every point of travel
So instead of feeling overstimulated or anxious, your dog feels secure — and free to enjoy the day alongside you.
Because the best memories come from calm moments, not chaos.

Real Talk: Weddings Are Emotional for Everyone — Including Your Dog
We once cared for a dog named Bailey, who was part of a wedding at Summerour Studio.
During the ceremony, Bailey quietly watched her parents exchange vows — then wagged her tail when she heard her name in the speech.
Later, while guests enjoyed cocktail hour, we took Bailey for a decompression walk around the property, ensuring she got fresh air and water before family photos.
By the end of the night, she was relaxed, happy, and ready for her car ride home.
That’s what professional pet care looks like on your wedding day — presence without pressure.
3 Signs You Shouldn’t Ask a Friend to Handle Your Dog on Your Wedding Day
1️⃣ Your friend is part of the wedding party.
They’ll be too busy taking photos or participating in the ceremony to focus on your dog’s needs.
2️⃣ Your dog gets nervous in new environments.
Weddings are unpredictable. A trained attendant can anticipate stress signals before they escalate.
3️⃣ You want your friend to relax and celebrate.
Your loved ones should enjoy your wedding, not worry about feeding, walking, or cleaning up after your dog.
When you hire a professional, everyone gets to do what they came for — celebrate love.
The Gift of Peace (for You and Your Dog)
Your wedding day should be filled with joy — not logistics.
Hiring a professional Wedding Pet Attendant ensures that your dog’s comfort and safety are handled by experts, while you stay fully immersed in every moment.
Because love isn’t just about saying “I do.”
It’s about making sure everyone — two-legged and four-legged — gets to feel it. 💜
