We're dedicated to the happiness, safety, and health of your dog so you can take one more thing off your plate.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lavender Crown for our wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Michelle and Penny were incredible from start to finish, providing top-notch "canine coordination" for our big day.

From our first interaction, they were kind, professional, and incredibly responsive—something I quickly learned is rare in the wedding world! We had a meet-and-greet beforehand, and our dogs immediately loved them, which put us completely at ease. Their attention to detail and care for our pups was so reassuring.

On the wedding day, everything went off without a hitch thanks to their help. They handled our dogs with such ease and joy—it honestly felt like having friends there who just happened to be amazing with animals. Because of their support, we got the most beautiful photos with our dogs, and we didn’t have to stress about a thing.

If you're even considering having your pets involved in your wedding, do yourself a favor and hire Lavender Crown. Michelle was a dream to work with and made a special day even more memorable.
