💡 A Few Tips When Choosing a Dog-Friendly Venue:
Ask early: Not all venues openly advertise that they’re pet-friendly—ask specifically about dogs and what’s allowed.
Confirm logistics: Check where your dog is welcome (ceremony only, reception too?), leash requirements, and cleanup expectations.
Use a pro: A wedding dog attendant (that’s us!) can help coordinate everything from transport to behavior support and venue communication.
Your wedding day should include everyone you love—fur included.Need help planning a dog-friendly celebration? Let’s talk!
