Some wedding moments are planned. Others are pure magic. And for couples looking to create a celebration their guests will never forget, Burro Buddies is bringing something truly one-of-a-kind to weddings across Northeast Florida.
Officially launched in 2025, Burro Buddies is redefining guest experience with adorable, trained donkeys that deliver beverages, spark laughter, and instantly become the most talked-about part of the day. These sweet burros arrive bathed, decorated, and ready to charm, offering couples a fun and interactive element that elevates any wedding celebration.
Founder and registered nurse of more than 15 years, the heart behind Burro Buddies discovered the beverage burro concept and immediately knew it was something special. Combining a lifelong love of animals with a desire to bring joy to others, she created a business that feels less like work and more like a calling.
“There’s something incredibly special about bringing our donkeys into such meaningful moments,” she shares. “The joy, surprise, and laughter guests experience the moment they notice them is unforgettable.”
Burro Buddies offers customizable wedding packages ranging from $575 to $875, with options including two beverage-carrying burros or a combination of a beverage burro and an interaction burro. Each package includes two clean, professionally handled donkeys, custom décor, certified handlers, and travel within 50 miles round trip.
Couples love the flexibility, the photo opportunities, and the unforgettable reactions. Every wedding is personalized with unique décor combinations, ensuring no two celebrations ever look the same.
For Burro Buddies, the most meaningful wedding memory came from participating in a Wish Upon a Wedding event, supporting a couple facing life-changing illness. “It was an honor to bring extra joy to a day that meant so much,” she says.
For couples planning a wedding filled with charm, laughter, and unforgettable guest moments, Burro Buddies is truly a signature experience.
Couples are encouraged to book 4 to 6 months in advance, as weekend dates fill quickly.
