A room of their own
Designed for the moments your dog needs less.
Celebration can be beautiful and overstimulating. For Signature and Full-Day experiences, we transform a venue-approved private room into a calm, supervised retreat aligned with your wedding’s palette and your dog’s familiar comforts.

A note from Gisela
Because they are not an accessory. They are family.
I created The Vow Companion for couples who cannot imagine their wedding day without their dog, but refuse to compromise their dog’s comfort to make that happen. My role is equal parts advocate, calm presence, and trusted extension of your wedding team.

Questions, thoughtfully answered
What couples often ask.
Will my dog be with us for the entire wedding?+
Only when it feels right. We build a personalized participation plan around your dog’s temperament, the venue, and the moments that matter most. Quiet breaks and a private retreat are always part of the plan.
Do you work with our planner and photographer?+
Yes. We coordinate directly with your planner, photographer, venue, and designated family members so your dog’s movements fit naturally into the timeline without adding another task to your plate.
Is a familiarization session required?+
Yes. Every dog meets their concierge before the wedding. The 45–60 minute session is held at home when practical and helps us learn routines, handling preferences, comfort cues, and your dog’s relationship with us.
Can you care for more than one dog?+
Absolutely. Each experience begins with one dog. Multi-dog celebrations are quoted individually, with an additional concierge added when the dogs’ needs or timeline call for it.
Do you travel outside Los Angeles?+
Yes. Los Angeles and Long Beach are our home base, with Orange County, Santa Barbara, and destination celebrations welcomed by request.
Can you give medication or feed my dog?+
We can administer oral, mixed-in-food, topical, ear, and eye medications. Feeding is available when the timeline requires it; medically necessary meals are always accommodated. We do not administer injections.
