Six-year-old Gizmo, is providing the unique service across the UK and Steve Younge, owner of Lavenham Falconry has said its popularity is increasing.
Speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times, Mr Younge said: "In the last three months I've had five bookings. People tend to be amazed when they see it, people have told us it's the absolute highlight of the wedding; the guests often can't believe it.
"When it comes to the rings. The best man, or the bride in some occasions – as most of the time it is her that has organised it – will have a special glove and a piece of meat fixed to the glove. He will pull the glove out of his pocket, raise his arm up and the owl flies straight down the aisle and lands on the glove with the ring."
The birds, which have been hand-reared since the age of 10 days, deliver the ring in a specially made bag that is clipped on to their harnessing, and once it is disconnected, the owl flies back up the aisle.
Younge added that because of their training the birds are never phased or distracted.
