I want my dog to be there on my wedding day but everywhere says they are not allowed any ideas?

Question

I thought i could have the reception at a relatives house but I am having trouble finding a venue for the ceremony. I dont want a registry office. I want somewhere cheap. I would love my dog there as he is part of the family now. Photographs are important to me so i would like somewhere that looks good inside aswell as out as you cannot be sure of good weather. I would prefer somewhere in Essex or Kent but am prepared to travel for the perfect venue. Somewhere cheap, picturesque and will allow my dog- Is this impossible?! Help!!!

Hi, groom here. My fiancee just told me about this. Let me say thanks to those who took the question seriously, to all you others grow the f**k up. Its my dog as well and if I'm getting married once in my life I want it personal to us. Our dog is part of our family, and if you can't help or at least be polite keep your poor witticisms to yourselves. You really are a bunch of imbeciles.

Answer 1

First of all, congratulations! Second of all, it's your wedding, you can do what you want! Ignore the terrible comments, some people just can't keep their rudeness to themselves. May I suggest a park? They usually charge a relatively small fee for use of a particular area. Also, since the reception might be at a relative's home, could you also have the ceremony there? It's really just an extra 30 minutes. Perhaps you could spruce up the back or front yard for photographs. Just make sure you're responsible and set up and clean up after yourself so you're not a burden to your relative.

Here's an article I found about pets at weddings. You're not alone!

Jennifer and her groom, congratulations! Yes, the baby needs to be there. In May our puppy (10 years old) was my daughter's ring bearer. My son and the groom's brother escorted him up the aisle. I made him a little pillow that I had attached elastic to it and a button, so we put in on him, like a saddle. We had him a fancy lease, we had a cape for him to wear, but it was so very hot, till we decided against it. I had him a tux, but again too hot.

My daughter received a wedding puppy from her Dad and I, he was also at the wedding. I carried him down the aisle when I walked down. He was so precious. I had made him a little wedding shirt. He's doesn't have long hair, so he was fine with the cotton shirt. We had the wedding at a musuem, they were married outside, most of the reception was outdoors too. We paid a extra fee, and cleaned up after them. They were not allowed inside, unless we carried them.

I pray that you can find somewhere dog friendly. If your baby is like ours, he's cleaner than most people. Have you tried hotels? The puppy wouldn't actually be in the kitchen area, but in the room with you. Bed and breakfasts, we called and most of the hosts were actually very nice about it, but then the happy couple found this place. It was the first home of a famous person in the Civil war. Surely hope you can find the perfect place for the 3 of you, and it's possible, and well worth all the effort put into finding it.

God bless us all.........

If you can't why not have everything at the relative's home. I would rather have it there with the puppy then somewhere without him.

That is so cool that you want to include your doggie pal in your wedding. I don't know where you live but, I was thinking of what you could do and I have a great idea! I know that it may not be a perfect idea, but I know alot of hotels allow dogs in there hotels. Like the Holiday Inn most locations allow dogs in there (plus I believe they are International) and most of them have meeting rooms of different sizes. So what you could do is get a big room have one side be for the wedding and one side for the reception. All the Holiday Inns I have been to have great outdoor gardens so you will have somewhere pretty to take pictures at. My grandparents renewed their vows at a Holiday Inn and some of the prettiest pictures they got were outside! So you may want to check it out. The website that I love that also maybe able to help you with finding a place is DogFriendly.com they are awesome and have great ideas for pets. I hope everything goes great! I know it will. And Congratulations!

I can't imagine any venue not allowing your dog to be with you on your wedding day, of course your dog is important to you and part of your family and should be with you on your special day, I am sure some hotel or place will make an exception for a special occasion, ring round lots of places and I am sure someone will have a heart and understand you want your dog with you, good luck and have a wonderful day.

Answer 5

I'd find somewhere my dog could enjoy the day with me...afterall, he's getting a new parent, too!! You can even get a cute tuxedo for him from Drs. Foster and Smith catalog (and I'm sure many others) I think it's great your dog is a part of your family and you want to include him. Stick to your guns!! I lost my husband in '97 and our Golden Retriever, Rusty, not only attended, but sent a beautiful huge wreath in the shape of a milk bone! Pet lovers are everywhere...I'd seek them out as you plan your wedding!! Good Luck!!

Answer 6

I am getting married myself in May. My fiancee` and I adore our dog. A West Highland terrier. Sadly we cant have her at the wedding but a friend is bringing her to the grounds of the hotel for photographs with us. She is part of our "family" and has helped my recovery from a serious illness. Good luck to you both on your wedding day x

Answer 7

If you are serious about this, then I assume you have realized that you won't be able to find an indoor venue that allows dogs at such an event. It will have to be an outdoor ceremony.
And if your dog is allowed, then your guests should be allowed to bring their pooches, too.
With dogs allowed, most people will not want to dress up in fear of all the dog hair, so you may need to specify "casual dress." And please don't forget that you need to advise your guests that there will be dogs in attendance, as many people are allergic to dogs and they need to have the option of not attending due to this reason.

Answer 9

Your dog will be at the reception, I assume. I think your primary concerns for your wedding should be things other than if your DOG can attend, like if your guests and you will find it a pleasant place, the distance from the reception, etc. If I had to drive a distance between the ceremony and the reception to accomodate a dog, I would probably not go to the ceremony and just attend the reception later.

Answer 10

You want you dog at your wedding? I would think the day would concentrated on the bride and groom. Yes most pets are a part of the family. But what if some of the guests are allergic to dogs or they are afraid. Try planning a honeymoon that accommodates the dog. And arrange for pictures after the wedding with your dog.
