Mr. & Mrs. Burmeister

Ever since Mr & Mrs. Burmeister brought home their black labrador retriever, Bear Luca, he has only encouraged their love for each other to grow stronger. They felt that it was important to include Bear Luca on their wedding day because he is the center of their world. “Bear Luca goes with us everywhere and has the sweetest heart. We wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.”

Mr & Mrs. Burmeister said “I do” at Celestial Farms, a gorgeous, pet-friendly wedding venue located in Clio, Michigan. As part of the ceremony, Bear Luca was their doggie ring bearer. He had the very important task of delivering the rings to his dad, which were clipped to his collar. “Watching Bear come down the aisle on his own was the best part of him being there.”

The wedding guests were delighted to see him included in the wedding, as it was kept as a surprise! During the cocktail hour, all guests had a chance to greet Bear Luca and give him plenty of love and attention. Bear Luca even got to be included in the grand entrance for the reception, escorted by wedding pet attendant, Ashley.

When asked how it felt to include Bear Luca in their big day, Mrs. Burmeister stated, “To be able to include him was phenomenal. Knowing he was taken care of so well, entertained, and loved by a fellow pet fanatic, was huge for us.” Hiring a wedding pet attendant helped the happy couple relax and focus on their big day!

“If there was anything that went perfectly right on our wedding day it was having Jackie & Joe’s taking care of Bear Luca. We wanted to have our 1-year-old lab at our wedding but didn’t want to bother family or friends with the task of prepping and caring for him. This company was referred to my now husband, John, and I, through our wedding venue. We couldn’t have been happier with how sweet Ashley was with our little guy, how comfortable we felt, and the amazing pictures we received as well. We highly recommend these guys!”
