Want to include your pets on your elopement?
I’ve been a nationally certified vet tech for 6 years
I understand that our pets are so much more than animals – they’re our best friends.
Growing up, my childhood always included animals. Whether that was obsessing over wildlife, or sneaking in pets to my home – animals have brought such a special joy to my life. I know your pet means the same to you!
With a strong background in pet experience, as I still serve as a Certified Veterinary Technician – your pets are always welcome for your elopement day if you so choose.
There’s so many options that pets can fit perfectly into your elopement day (or even if they need to stay home). Just let me know if you want them to tag along and we’ll create the funnest & safest experience for you all.
