Paw Wedding Services
Custom wedding day packages for dogs and cats, built around you
IL, Illinois
Get in Touch ↓About
Paw Wedding Services was co-founded by Lorinda Mugnolo and Jake after Lorinda experienced first-hand how hard it was to find someone truly trustworthy to care for their dog, Bentley, during her own wedding. Both lifelong pet owners with years of animal experience, Lorinda and Jake built a team that now includes pet attendants serving multiple regions including Central Illinois.
How It Works
The process begins with a paid consultation to map out your wedding logistics and build a customized proposal. After you approve and sign the contract, a meet and greet introduces your pet to their attendant before the big day. On the wedding day, Paw Wedding Services picks up your pet, transports them safely with seatbelt and harness, coordinates with your vendors, and returns them to the agreed drop-off location — with photo updates throughout.
50 miles from pickup included; $0.65/mile beyond. Final payment due 30 days prior to wedding date.
Services & Capabilities
What Sets Them Apart
- Every package is built to your specific wedding timeline through a one-on-one consultation — not a fixed menu of services you have to fit your day into.
- Lorinda and Jake founded this service after personally experiencing the stress of including a dog in a wedding, so the process is designed specifically around how weddings actually work.
- Handles all vendor coordination — they reach out to your planner and photographer to align on the timeline, so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Your pet travels in a seatbelt and harness (fitted with your own harness for safety) so you can picture the journey, not worry about it.
- Offers honeymoon overnight sitting so your pet is cared for continuously from wedding day through your trip away — no need to arrange a separate sitter.
