“Black Dog Weddings makes having your dog apart of your wedding dreams come true! Having our boy Jarvis with us on our wedding day was one of our only must haves. Having working in the wedding industry Ive heard many amazing things and when I officially got to meet Ash in person I couldn’t wait to book her for my own wedding.
Jarvis was instantly in love with her and knowing our boy was taken care of during the most important day of our lives made the day stress free and that much more perfect! Thanks to Ash Jarvis was the star of the show, got all the love and attention and shined in the photos just like I knew he could and he even got extra snuggles during the ceremony!
As a vendor and a client I cannot recommend Ash enough to all people that want to include their dogs as part of wedding. I couldn’t imagine our wedding without Jarvis and thanks to Ash she made our dreams come true!”
