We are one of those dog parents who go above and beyond for their care, so I knew that one of the…read moremost difficult tasks when wedding vendor searching would need to include a service that is top in care and quality for my dogs on our big wedding day. For being out of state, I did not have the most opportunity or fair advantage to meet vendors like a local would. This was a ball of nerves for our family as we never leave our dogs! I was able to find Cynthia and I am so glad we made our final choice with her services. Other companies would not get back to me promptly or "ghosted" me, and I felt like they didn't offer what I needed, which was the unique service of having a "wedding buddy", a one on one type of care. Other choices were basic kennel services or leaving my dog at someone's house which I was very hesitant. Additionally, most other services include other dogs involved in their care at once, which I already had hesitation since my dogs do not tend to get along with other fur friends. If you are nervous and have a list of questions, there is an initial pre chat with Cynthia which was more than an info session. We had a full blown detailed meet and greet virtually, and not only was I able to ask and learn, but she was also making sure we were the right fit for her services which I think shows how much a business owner cares about what they provide to their customers, but also caring enough to screen their customers to be a good fit for their business brand. This shows the quality aspect that the screening goes both ways which I cannot argue. Of course, with how friendly she is, we hit it off perfectly in our virtual video setting. I felt comfortable, had all my questions answered or concerns outlined, and I was fortunate to actually utilize her services earlier than my actual wedding due to a tasting months before. If possible, especially if you aren't local and if you care about your fur friends as much as we do, this is the best opportunity to test out and see how much care your dogs will receive. Once you get to the big day, it all becomes a huge blur and you don't want to be worrying about the dogs with everything going on. Cynthia 150% ensures that everything goes off without a hitch on the big day.
For the tasting trip, we were assigned with one of her team members and you can just tell right away how kind they were as Cynthia also had promised to us. We agreed upon a meet up location without any issues, during the tasting we would even receive picture updates, and upon picking our dogs up, we received a summary of how things went. This was all very reassuring!
Pricing and honesty is another huge component as prices are fair, which were recorded in "writing" via email when corresponding with Cynthia, there are no questions regarding any extra services if needed, with ample back and forth correspondence. Even when time was getting the best of me with all that we had going on with wedding planning, being busy with every day life and a rigorous work schedule, Cynthia always kept up to date from afar and was well informed each time we corresponded to be sure the dates were secured and logistics were squared away.
For the wedding, Cynthia was part of the process the moment a schedule was laid out by our planner which she also requests in case you forget. She asked all of the right questions, provided suggestions to the wedding day logistics, and we would actively work together as a team to be sure we coordinated to fit everyone's needs for that day. We coordinated the meet up location, where she would be sitting to take the dogs during the ceremony, where to leave their stroller, what to do after the wedding, as well as safely transported them to our hotel room. Her details was very key as well in being right there to help during family pictures. Our dogs did not feel left out one bit with all the craziness that was going on and she knew how to calm them at their most anxious times, which my mom pointed out to me that she noticed the dogs were very calm around her and she has a special communication style with them. Amazing for never having met them! During the remainder of the evening, picture updates were also provided and my parents were very happy upon picking the dogs after the celebration! Whether wedding related or not, I would highly recommend Cynthia and her team. I believe you will feel right away from just a consultation what type of care you will be receiving. I do not regret booking, this was the best vendor we added as part of our wedding journey. Cynthia is also very personable and patient with us during our months of consultation and communication! I am confident to recommend that her services are top choice for your best fur friends. Thank you again so much for making our big day so much easier, less worries and loving my dogs as they were your own,they really appreciate it!
