Paws & Promises
Professional Wedding Day Pet Attendants
Your pets are part of your love story — they’ve been there for the everyday moments and the life-changing ones. They deserve to be part of your wedding too, without you having to lift a finger.
At Paws & Promises, we know your pet’s needs as well as you do. From their feeding routine to bathroom breaks, keeping their coat clean, wiping paws and faces, and making sure they smell fresh all day — we handle it. We keep them comfortable between photo shoots, help them shine during the reception, and quietly cater to every need so they’re happy, safe, and part of the celebration from start to finish.
It’s more than pet minding. It’s giving you complete peace of mind — so you can enjoy your wedding knowing your furry family member is being cared for with love, attention, and professionalism.
Everyone loves the idea of having their dog at the wedding — until reality sets in...
Maybe Aunt Debbie volunteers to “keep an eye on them” but gets distracted by the champagne tower. Next thing you know, she’s sneaking them bites of chocolate, onion tartlets, grapes, and macadamia cookies because “one won’t hurt”… and you’re calling the emergency vet before the first dance.
Or maybe your perfectly white wedding cake suddenly has paw prints up the side (and a suspicious chunk missing), your dog’s decided the flower arrangements are a salad bar, and your gown now has a very obvious “territory marking” right across the hem.
It’s funny in theory, but in reality?
Stress you don’t need.
That’s where we come in — keeping your pet happy, safe, and well-behaved, so your wedding memories are full of love, not chaos.

Your Dog’s Wedding Experience
We know that planning a wedding is a whirlwind of details—from bridal fittings to bachelor parties and everything in between. It’s all too easy to forget that your beloved dog needs their own bit of pampering for the big day. That’s where we come in—think of us as the full bridal shop, but just for your dog!
Our goal is to give your furry family member their own unforgettable wedding experience. We’re a one-stop shop that makes sure your dog is just as pampered and included as you are. Whether you want us to handle just the wedding day or spoil them with extra add-ons before and after, we’ve got it all covered.
We offer custom collars, leashes, and ID tags (and more!) tailored to match your wedding vibe, so your dog looks dapper and wedding-ready. We can arrange baths or grooming, coordinate pet transport, and even set up a boutique farm stay if you need care during your honeymoon.
We’re here to take that stress away and make it magical for your pup. By working with us, your dog gets to know us ahead of time, so they feel like part of the family on the big day. In short, we’re here to give your dog a wedding experience as unforgettable and special as yours.

Blending In So Your Pet Stands Out
We believe your wedding day should feel seamless — and that includes your pet’s care.
That’s why we arrive in wedding-appropriate attire that complements the style and atmosphere of your day.
By blending in with your guests, we make sure your pet’s presence feels like a natural part of the celebration, not a side note.
It keeps your photos looking polished, allows us to step in for any moment without disrupting the flow, and ensures your guests see us as part of the event, not “the pet minders.”
It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference — helping your pet be part of the memories while we work quietly behind the scenes.
We’re based on the beautiful Gold Coast and service the entire Gold Coast region for weddings and events.
We also happily travel for weddings in:
• South East Queensland – Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Scenic Rim, and surrounds.
• Northern New South Wales – Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Casuarina, Cabarita Beach, Pottsville, Brunswick Heads, Byron Bay, Bangalow, and nearby areas.
Travel outside the Gold Coast incurs a travel charge, calculated based on distance and time, so we can bring the same level of care and service to your wedding day—wherever it may be.
Not sure if we cover your venue? Just ask—we’ll let you know if we can make it happen.
Where We Work
Your wedding photos should capture joy, love, and beauty—not a fraying, neon pet-store leash stealing the spotlight. That’s why we provide our own beautiful BioThane® leashes for every wedding we attend. They’re sleek, waterproof, easy to clean, and chosen to complement your wedding day style.
We can match your leash to your colour theme so everything feels cohesive in photos. And if you’d like something truly one-of-a-kind, our sister business Bowie & Co. can handcraft custom collars and leashes—engraved, painted, and tailored with your pet’s name, wedding date, or special details. From classic neutrals to bold statements, we’ll make sure your pet’s accessories look as good as they do.
Elegant Gear for Picture-Perfect Moments
Inclusivity & Accessibility
At Paws and Promises, we believe love is for everyone, and we’re here to make sure every couple feels welcome and supported. We are proudly LGBTQ+ friendly—absolutely thrilled to celebrate queer & trans-inclusive weddings, and every beautiful expression of love. This is a safe space for you to be exactly who you are.
We also strive to make our services accessible and welcoming to neurodivergent clients. If there’s anything we can do to make your booking process or event planning easier, just let us know. We’re here to adapt and ensure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
In addition, we understand the vital role that service dogs play for many individuals. As service dog handlers ourselves, we’re experienced in working with service animals and making sure they’re accommodated on your big day. Let us know what your service dog needs, and we’ll ensure they’re comfortable and well looked after so you can focus on enjoying your celebration.
