Including your dog in your wedding is incredibly special — but it also comes with its own challenges. Weddings are busy, emotional, and fast-paced, and relying on guests or family to manage your dog can quickly become stressful for everyone involved. A pet wedding assistant ensures your dog is safely supervised, cared for, and guided through the day without taking focus away from you, your guests, or your ceremony. Here’s why couples choose Paws & Promises: 🐾 1. Your guests shouldn’t have the responsibility Your family and bridal party already have their own roles. A dedicated handler ensures no one misses moments because they’re busy toileting, walking, or settling the dog. 🐾 2. Stress-free ceremony moments Dogs can get excited, confused, or overwhelmed. We gently guide them, settle them, and support them so the ceremony flows beautifully. 🐾 3. Perfect photo opportunities We know how to help your pup pose, look the right way, and stay calm for photos — while keeping them comfortable between shots. 🐾 4. Comfort, safety, and wellbeing come first Water, toileting, shade, cooling mats, treats, behavioural support — we manage every detail so your dog feels safe, happy, and relaxed. 🐾 5. Weather and heat management Cairns is hot. We monitor your dog closely and make decisions that protect their health, including shade breaks, water, cooling gear and rest time. 🐾 6. Reliable transport and transitions If needed, we can escort your dog to and from the ceremony, photos, reception, or back home/accommodation — securely and safely. 🐾 7. You get to enjoy your day This is the biggest one. You should be present, relaxed, and focused on your wedding — not worried about whether the dog is panting, pulling, barking, or wandering.
