When Isabelle and Daichi planned their wedding at The Golf Club at Newcastle, there was one special guest they couldn’t imagine celebrating without—Koda, their sweet fluffy Eurasier. "We love Koda, and he's a big part of our lives, so it only felt right that he was there for our big day," the couple shared. "He's basically part of our personalities, so it was an easy decision for us to incorporate him."
To ensure Koda was ready for his starring role, Isabelle and Daichi worked closely with their wedding pet service, Wags Down the Aisle. While Koda’s tuxedo and matching harness added a stylish touch, hiring a professional dog lady was crucial in making sure Koda’s day went smoothly. "Hiring a pet handler was one of the best decisions we made. We wanted to enjoy the day and not worry about who was looking after Koda," they said. Though Koda’s leash walking was still a work in progress, the couple felt confident knowing he was in good hands.
When it came to challenges, Isabelle and Daichi worked with both the wedding pet service and the venue to ensure everything went according to plan. "We just had to make sure we adhered to the venue's rules and expectations, but overall it wasn’t difficult. Having a handler really helped minimize any stress."
One of the highlights of the day was seeing everyone's reaction to Koda walking down the aisle. “He stole the show!” they recalled. Koda didn’t just make an impression during the ceremony; he was also a hit during cocktail hour, where he charmed guests with his friendly personality. Everyone wanted to take pictures of him or with him - it was a really special and adorable sight! Wags Down the Aisle made sure that Koda was sitting (mostly) still and posing with his best angles.
A unique touch was Koda’s own boba wall, which added a playful element to the day. Guests loved seeing the personal touches surrounding Koda, which reflected how important he is to Isabelle and Daichi.
Their advice for other couples? "We highly recommend hiring a wedding pet attendant. We didn’t want our family or friends to be responsible for Koda during the wedding. We wanted everyone to enjoy the day without any extra responsibilities, and having a dedicated pet handler ensured that."
Isabelle, Daichi, and Koda’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of love and partnership, with their dog playing a special role in their big day. It’s a perfect example of how a wedding pet service can help create unforgettable memories with your floofy and furry babies.
