Sugar Spring Ranch: A Purr-fect Venue for Pets and Their Humans

Hello, loyal readers.

It’s me, Tiny —your favorite furry overlord—here to report on a very important mission my humans took me on recently.

You see, they run this fancy business called FairyTail Pet Care, which helps pets be part of their humans' weddings (a noble cause, if you ask me). And since I’m the CFO, Chief Feline Officer, I tagged along to Sugar Spring Ranch in Waterloo, IL to see if it was up to my high standards.

First Impressions: A Cat’s-Eye View

We pulled up, and right away, I could tell—this place is big. Like, 300-guest-big (which means 600 hands for belly rubs, but who’s counting?). My humans got all excited about the beautiful ceremony spots, while I scoped out the important details:

• Pet-friendly? ✅ Yes, but outside only. I’ll let it slide… for now.

• Comfy floors? ✅ Heated floors in The Ranch—perfect for a luxurious catnap.

• Scenic views? ✅ A lakeside setting that screams “put me in a wedding photo.”

• Shiny things? ✅ Decorations, lighting, and a sound system are all included—meaning plenty of new things for pets to investigate (or knock over… but I’d never 😼).

• Private suites for the bride & groom? ✅ Because even humans deserve a comfy retreat on their big day.

The Other Star of the Show

Now, I’m used to being the most majestic creature in any room, but at Sugar Spring Ranch, there’s a zebra. Yes, a real-life, black-and-white striped horse named Sam. Apparently, he’s a big deal for wedding photos. I stayed a respectful distance away (I don’t trust anything that isn’t exclusively napping or demanding food), but my humans seemed smitten.

The FairyTail Verdict

Sugar Spring Ranch gets two paws up from me!

It’s pet-friendly (outside only), spacious, and absolutely stunning, making it the purr-fect place for couples who want to include their furry (or feathery… or hooved? Looking at you, Sam) family members in their big day.

🐾 Bonus Perk!

If you book your wedding with a preferred vendor of ours, you’ll receive a special discount on FairyTail Pet Care** services. That means more treats, more belly rubs, and less stress for your humans—sounds like a win-win to me!

So, if you’re planning a wedding and want your pet to be there for the fun, FairyTail Pet Care has you covered!

My humans do all the work—you just enjoy your big day with your best furry friend by your side.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a heated floor to daydream about.

Until next time, stay pawsome!

Meet The Owners!

Hi! We’re Bailey & Joshua! We live in Downtown St. Louis (from The Lou, and we’re proud!) and are so excited to bring FairyTail Pet Care’s wedding services and pet rescue mission to the St. Louis area!

The Basics:

-Cat Parents to 5 (indoor) City Cats

-Fish Parents to 2 ponds & 3 Tanks

-Fun Aunt & Uncle to many friends/family cats & puppies

-Walk Shelter Pups often for more puppy time :)

More About Us:

We’ve both left behind more traditional career paths to pursue passion driven lifestyles- in beauty, local property investments, and now... pets! After years of Business Administration, Bailey decided to follow her love of beauty by becoming a Bridal Hair Specialist in the St. Louis Area, working with over 250 bridal parties thus far. And Joshua, being a Marine Veteran who grew up in St. Louis, follows his passion for serving the community through local property investments and events at our local pet shelters.

While we love animals - we also love Shark Tank! That is how we discovered FairyTail Pet Care. It so happens Bailey heard from a local bride that our area needed a service like this, so we didn’t hesitate. That gave Joshua the push to retire from his decade long Automation career, and ensure his FULL time was spent towards a more meaningful purpose --helping shelter pets find a loving home and making sure you have the wedding day of your dreams!

The Business + The Mission is the perfect marriage of our love for the local wedding industry and pet rescues! When we aren’t busy taking animals(of any sort!) to weddings you can find us enjoying all that STL has to offer or traveling the world visiting animals everywhere we go!
