   After booking my wedding I visited a wedding fayre at our venue & met Kate and got a leaflet for their wedding services. I hadn’t thought too much about what we would do with our dog Gizmo until January this year & our wedding was in September! I instantly remembered the leaflet & got in touch with Kate on Instagram. She responded really quickly confirming her availability & with links to the services that bowtiful walks could provide. I confirmed all of the wedding details & details for Gizmo then Kate booked in a call for us to go through how I would like the day to go & how Gizmo could be part of the day as much or as little as I’d like. We then had a meeting at home so Kate could meet Gizmo so they could both familiarise with each other. Kate was always on hand to help with any questions I had and there was no issue when I changed how much I wanted gizmo involved. On our wedding day Ant greeted my dad and took Gizmo away to get familiar with the grounds at Tankersley. Gizmo was so relaxed with Ant, even when being around lots of people and in the ceremony! Ant took Gizmo off site for the afternoon & Kate returned in the evening with him. She caught us having some photos so I got a few more with him before she took him to the room to get settled. I couldn’t recommend Bowtiful Walks & Weddings enough & if you’re thinking of booking them for your wedding then DO IT! It really did take a lot of stress away from me. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of Gizmo & being so lovely to us! Lots of love The Prydes

   Kate was an absolute superstar when looking after our dog Ted on our wedding day. We had two meetings before the day where Kate and Ted could become familiar and get to know each other. Ted seemed really comfortable in her company, and we trusted Kate fully with him. On the wedding day, Kate made sure Ted was looked after and that he could meet all the guests, but also could take him to a quiet spot if he became overwhelmed. Kate was praised by the guests for how well she handled the interactions with them and Ted, making sure he didn’t muddy clothing or jump on children (Ted can be very excited and get a little jumpy). Kate kept him engaged for photos and worked with the photographers to get some lovely shots. We had some unexpected issues in the evening that meant the original plan of where Kate and Ted would stay overnight didn’t work out, however Kate handled this with the upmost professionalism making sure Ted was kept safe and looked after. I honestly cannot thank Kate enough for her problem solving and care of Ted that day, which ensured our Wedding Day wasn’t affected at all by the issues that arose. I would absolutely recommend Kate at Bowtiful Walks and Weddings for their wedding chaperone service.

   With two lively dogs, we knew asking any of our guests to handle them on our wedding day would be far too much — that’s when we found Kate at Bowtiful Walks and Weddings. From start to finish, Kate was absolutely fantastic with our dogs. It was such a relief knowing they were in safe, caring hands and that all their needs were taken care of. She was calm, kind, and so attentive. Despite the terrible rain, she somehow managed to keep them clean, happy, and relaxed — no small feat for a spaniel and a pointer! When it came time for photos, we had fully accepted that we probably wouldn’t get any shots of them actually looking at the camera. But somehow, Kate worked her magic — both dogs sat and posed beautifully! She even took wonderful care of our elderly dog, who sensibly opted out of the excitement. We honestly couldn’t recommend Kate enough. She’s professional, caring, and an absolute lifesaver for any dog parents planning their wedding day.

   Kate was absolutely fabulous on the day of our wedding. We had no worries about Ruby whilst in the care of Kate as you can tell she's such a dog lover and puts the needs of the dog before anything else. Kate even directed a photo of Ruby with our photographer which has easily become our favourite photo from the day. Huge thank you to Kate for enabling us to have our other family member at our wedding, we couldn't have done it without you!
