Are pets allowed in all areas of the venue?
Some venues allow pets for the ceremony but not the reception. Double-check where your furry friend can (and can’t) go to avoid surprises on the big day!
In the event of extreme weather conditions are there any spaces indoors the pet will be allowed.
Pro tip: Ask if there are designated pet-friendly zones or shaded spots for their comfort particularly in warmer months.
Do you require any special pet-related paperwork?
Some venues may ask for:
-proof of vaccinations
-pet insurance
-a signed waiver
-details of a dedicated professional pet attendant/ chaperone
Knowing this upfront will help you prepare ahead of time!
Is there a safe and quiet space for pets to retreat?
Weddings can be a lot for pets and having a chill-out zone away from the crowd gives them a break when needed.
Ideal spots: A shaded outdoor area or a separate room inside the venue.
Can staff or vendors assist with pet care?
Some venues have pet-friendly coordinators or allow pet attendants on-site. This is especially helpful if your pet needs walks, water breaks, or a quiet moment.
Pro tip: ask if there's a recommended pet sitter/ attendant/ chauffer they've worked with before.
What’s the clean-up policy?
Accidents happen! Check if the venue provides clean-up stations or if you (or the pet chaperone) will need to bring supplies.
Also, ask if pet-friendly decor (like water bowls or pet beds) is allowed to keep your pet comfy.
