Welcome to Pets as Guests Wedding Day Pet Chaperone
if you can’t imagine getting married without your special fur baby in attendance, I’ll make sure everything is taken care of.
About Us
Include your best friend in your wedding.
If you are getting married, it’s hard to imagine not having your best friend there right?
Without help, the logistics can be a bit daunting.
In the lead up to your wedding, I will help you plan how you’d like your Fur Baby included on the day.
Whether they have a role in the ceremony such as Ring Bearer, Flower Dog, Best Dog or simply there just to greet your guests.
Ill arrive on the day, having collected them from your home or other location, travelling safely to the venue. We’ll be nice and early to ensure they have had a walk, toilet and a drink and are nice and settled. I’ll support them in their role and if they change the plan, that’s what I’m there for, ready to step in and make it look seamless.
Ill then help you in your photo session.
There is no limit on time so you won’t need to watch the clock or feel like you need to rush.
I have been training animals for film and television since 2009. With Pets as Guests established in 2017, I have the experience and a cool bag of tricks to ensure you get the best shots.
When they are ready for bed, I’ll convey them home or wherever they are staying for the night. I’ll ensure they are fed and settled in for the night.
You’ll receive a video update so you can see that they are home safe and sound.
You‘ll also get a whole lot of behind the scenes photos and video of what we got up to on the day.
Shelley Thorpe ~ Experienced Animal Handler / Trainer
After taking a break from my policing career, in 2009, I began training animals for Film and Television. There I found my passion.
I’ve worked training all kinds of animals on some big blockbuster films, live stage shows, well known Tv commercials and some popular Tv shows. You may recognise my Boxer Buddy from a long running Ch7 Soap opera.
Pets As Guests, Wedding Day Pet Chaperone
was established in 2017 with many happy couples and pets so far.
Having been a bride with a four legged ring bearer myself, everything about this role made sense.
I started for my love of animals but I’ve very quickly come to love everything about weddings and the people I get to work with.
I love what I do
