Meet Megan, owner of Here Comes the Floof 🐾

Based in Colorado and serving weddings across Colorado, New Mexico, and Southern California, Here Comes the Floof is an all-inclusive wedding pet care company dedicated to helping couples include their dogs on one of the biggest days of their lives. From transportation and handling to care and cuddles, the team acts as each pup’s personal plus-one for the wedding day 🤍

The business was inspired by Megan’s own wedding in Durango, Colorado. Like many couples planning a wedding, she wanted her dogs to be part of the celebration but realized there was no one available to care for them once the festivities began.

Since launching in 2023, Here Comes the Floof has been part of 60+ weddings and grown into a team of 7 dedicated wedding pet attendants helping couples include every member of the family - paws included 🐶✨

Baker Spotlight: Meet Katie Sacoman, owner of Sweet Pea Bakery 🍰

Founded in 2021, Sweet Pea Bakery is an Albuquerque-based wedding bakery specializing in custom wedding desserts, cupcakes, and printed sugar cookies for couples across New Mexico. Katie Sacoman built the bakery around one belief: the best memories are made gathered around the table with the people we love.

Known for timeless flavors and elegant dessert design, Katie creates wedding dessert experiences that feel warm, elevated, and memorable. From curated dessert tables to custom treats for weddings and special events, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to be just as beautiful as it is delicious.

Her favorite part of the process is watching couples see their desserts for the first time - and then watching guests come back for seconds!

Whether couples are planning a large wedding celebration or an intimate gathering, Katie and her team work closely with each client to create desserts that bring people together in a meaningful way ✨
