Pawloma

Pawloma Wedding VIP · Hunter Valley & Newcastle

Your best friend. Your big day. Our problem.

Because obviously they're invited.

Pawloma Wedding VIP takes care of your dog's wedding-day logistics — from getting them where they need to be, to helping with the photos, to whisking them away for their Pawloma sleepover once their social obligations are complete. Hunter Valley vineyard weddings are our home ground, and we travel to Newcastle and Maitland venues too.

You enjoy the wedding. We'll handle the VIP.

How it works

Three steps. No paperwork pile.

  1. 1

    Meet us at the venue.

    We'll take over before your VIP's big moment.

  2. 2

    Get the shot.

    We'll handle them during their wedding appearance and help your photographer get the photos.

  3. 3

    You keep partying.

    When their social obligations are complete, they're coming home with us.

The photo bit

Yes, we'll help get the shot.

Your photographer handles the magic. We handle the dog who has suddenly decided looking directly at the camera is beneath them.

  • Getting their attention and positioning them for the shot
  • Moving them in and out of photographs as needed
  • Help with the wedding accessories you supply
  • Water, toilet and sniff breaks between takes

To be clear: Pawloma is not your wedding photographer. We're the ones making their job easier.

After their star turn

Their social obligations are complete.

Once the ceremony, photos and important pats are done, we'll take your VIP back with us for their Pawloma sleepover.

  • No asking a bridesmaid to disappear halfway through the reception.
  • No sending Dad back to the accommodation.
  • No wondering who's feeding the dog.

They're sorted. You keep partying.

Check my date

Let's get them on the list.

Start with your date — we check Pawloma's real availability before you fill in anything else. Then the wedding, the dog and the details that keep them safe.

  1. Your date
  2. You & the venue
  3. The VIP
  4. Their job
  5. Care check
  6. Secure it

We book from 7 days ahead.

The practical bits

Do we need to be a Pawloma Family member?

No. Wedding VIP sits outside our normal pet care — no membership, no care application. You book here.

Is our booking confirmed straight away?

Your date is checked against our real diary as you book. Your booking is confirmed the moment the required payment succeeds — until online payment is switched on, we confirm your total with you first.

Who supplies the outfit?

You do, unless we've agreed otherwise. We'll happily wrangle bow ties, bandanas and floral collars on the day.

Who arranges venue permission for the dog?

That's on you unless we've agreed otherwise — venues have their own rules about dogs, and they'll want to hear it from the couple.
