About
From walking your pup down the aisle to managing portraits, handling transportation, or simply keeping them happy and cared for behind the scenes, our team provides professional, reliable, and love-centered care. We work seamlessly with planners, photographers, and venues across Austin and the Hill Country to make your pet’s role effortless and unforgettable. So go ahead, invite your dog to your wedding!
How It Works
After a free consultation, Bark & Bride lays out a wedding-day plan that fits your timeline and coordinates ahead of time with your vendors. On the day itself, your handler shows up at pickup, manages the trip to the venue, walks your dog through the ceremony and photos, and stays on through whatever coverage window you've selected, from a clean ceremony exit through to the final reception toast.

Services & Capabilities
What Sets Them Apart
- A wedding-only focus — every part of the service is purpose-built for the cadence and pressure of a wedding day rather than borrowed from general pet sitting.
- Direct collaboration with your planner, photographer, and venue keeps your dog's role lined up with the broader event timeline.
- Round-trip transport rolled into the mid and top tiers, sparing you the chore of arranging a separate ride for your dog.
- The Pup of Honor tier includes practice aisle walks at the venue ahead of the ceremony, so your dog knows exactly what's coming.
- Cocktail-hour guest interactions are professionally managed, so your dog gets to soak up the attention without you having to juggle leashes, potty breaks, or jumpy greetings.
- Photo updates featuring your puppy’s POV of your wedding festivities.
