Coastal Wedding Paws is presented on its official website as a Vancouver wedding dog attendant service that helps couples include their dog in wedding activities while assigning day-of care to a dedicated handler. The company says its support can cover transportation, ceremony cues, bathroom breaks and meal times, with package options ranging from portrait assistance to six hours of wedding-day coverage.

This profile was last reviewed on September 21, 2026. Details below reflect statements and prices published by the business; they are not independent endorsements of suitability, qualifications or availability. No postal address or telephone number appears in the supplied official pages, so couples need to use the published email address or website enquiry form and confirm the practical terms for their date.

Services and specialization

Coastal Wedding Paws specializes in caring for dogs around wedding events rather than providing general wedding planning. Its website describes care before, during and after a celebration, depending on the selected package. Published tasks include bringing a dog into portraits or a ceremony, managing cues, providing bathroom breaks and meals, and arranging transportation where included.

The company also lists rehearsal attendance, pre- or post-wedding pet sitting, grooming coordination, extra dog walks and accessory rentals as possible additions. Collars, bow ties and florals are among the examples given for rentals. Engagements and other events may also be considered on request, although the site does not publish separate service details for those occasions.

Packages and published inclusions

The Bronze package is positioned for couples who want their dog in portraits only. It includes a pre-wedding meet and greet, one hour of venue assistance for photographs and a handoff to a person designated by the couple.

Silver is described as the Ceremony Star package and includes a meet and greet, three hours of ceremonial assistance, coordination with the wedding planner, a short video reel of the dog’s day and drop-off within the service area. The website says this option is best suited to dogs that handle ceremonies and crowds well.

Gold provides six hours of coverage extending from getting ready through the reception. Published inclusions are pick-up and drop-off, video documentation, and participation from the ceremony through the reception. The company describes it as intended for dogs comfortable with extended wedding involvement.

Every package lists a water bowl, treats, lint roller, backup leash and poop bags.
Every package also includes a calming strategy tailored to the dog.
The three package levels differ in duration, transportation and the extent of wedding participation.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website states that Coastal Wedding Paws serves the Lower Mainland and the Sea to Sky Corridor. It also says there are no travel fees within Vancouver city limits and that custom quotes are available for areas outside Vancouver. The site does not define every included municipality or publish a travel-rate schedule.

Based on the company’s own package descriptions, the service may suit couples who want their dog included in portraits, the ceremony or a longer portion of the day but do not want to assign handling duties to a guest. Package suitability depends on the dog’s comfort with photographs, crowds, ceremony activity and the length of involvement.

Vancouver city limits: no travel fees stated
Lower Mainland and Sea to Sky Corridor: listed service regions
Outside Vancouver: custom travel quote may be required

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented service features include a pre-event questionnaire used to build a care plan around the dog, attention to body-language cues and quiet-space needs, and a single-handler model. The website states that Sophie personally handles every booking and that services are not contracted out. It also states that she is pet first-aid certified and trained in pet CPR and first aid. These are operator statements and should be discussed directly if certification details or medication support are important.

Practical limitations in the available information include the absence of a published street address and telephone number. The site does not provide full booking terms, cancellation conditions, insurance details, capacity for multiple dogs or a complete travel-fee schedule. These omissions do not indicate that the options are unavailable; they are matters to verify before booking.

No published phone number or postal address

Pricing

The official services page publishes three core prices: Bronze at $295, Silver at $545 and Gold at $725. Bronze includes one hour of venue assistance, Silver includes three hours of ceremonial assistance, and Gold includes six hours of coverage. The page displays dollar signs but does not expressly identify the currency or state whether taxes are included, so couples should confirm the final amount and currency in writing.

Prices are not published for the listed add-ons, including rehearsal attendance, pet sitting, grooming coordination, extra walks and accessory rentals. Travel within Vancouver city limits is described as free of travel fees, while service outside Vancouver is subject to a custom quote.

Contact and booking

Coastal Wedding Paws publishes coastalweddingpaws@gmail.com as its contact email. Couples can also use the message form on the official contact page or follow the site’s date-check prompts. The business says it usually replies within a couple of days, but this is an estimated response time rather than a guarantee of availability.

An initial enquiry should identify the wedding date, venue location, desired package or required hours, and relevant information about the dog. The published service descriptions emphasize temperament and event conditions, so details about crowds, transportation, ceremony participation and quiet-space access may help the company assess fit.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a deposit, couples should request a written description of the selected package, final price, taxes, travel costs, booking and cancellation terms, and the exact pick-up and drop-off plan. They should also confirm whether their venue permits dogs in each planned area and who will take responsibility after the booked coverage ends.

Dog-specific questions should cover feeding instructions, treats, medications, mobility needs, known triggers, crowd tolerance and the availability of a quiet retreat. Couples considering ceremony or reception participation should ask how the handler coordinates timing with the planner and what happens if the dog becomes uncomfortable. Where more than one dog is involved, staffing and pricing should be confirmed because multi-dog capacity is not specified on the supplied pages.

Medication procedures, emergency contacts and veterinary plan
