Dog friendly wedding venue

Weddings are about love, and no one loves you quite like your dog…

We’re proud to be a genuinely dog friendly wedding venue in the heart of Devon, where your four-legged bestie is not just allowed — they’re welcomed. From plenty of outdoor space to endless snuggle spots by the fire, there’s room for your pooch to roam, relax, and be part of the celebration.

And here’s the fun part: did you know dog chaperones are a thing? Yep, really! If you want your pup there for the ceremony (but not necessarily photobombing the cake cutting), we can connect you with professional dog chaperones who’ll make sure they’re cared for, walked, and even dressed up for the occasion. Tuxedo harness, anyone?

Whether you want your dog to walk down the aisle with you, pose for memorable wedding photos, or just be nearby for moral support, Huntsham Court and the recommended suppliers makes it totally possible — and totally stress-free.

After all, weddings are about love, and no one loves you quite like your dog.

Meet Together Furever Weddings: Your perfect Pet Chaperones

Helen and her husband Lee founded Together Furever Weddings out of a passion for animals and a personal experience with their own wedding. When they got married, they faced the dilemma of not being able to include their beloved Cockapoo, Oscar, due to venue restrictions. This inspired them to create a service that ensures no couple has to miss out on having their furry friend by their side on their special day.

Together Furever Weddings offers professional and friendly pet chaperone services, ensuring your pet is well-cared for and can participate in your wedding, at a dog friendly wedding venue. From transporting your pet safely to the venue, to coordinating with wedding planners and photographers, Helen and Lee provide comprehensive care. They even offer personalized consultations to understand your pet’s needs and how best to include them in your celebration.

Tips for Including Your Dog in Your Wedding Day

1. Book a Dog Chaperone (obviously!) – This will give you peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by professionals who prioritize their welfare.

2. Check Your Venue’s Pet Policy: Ensure the venue is a dog friendly wedding venue and understand any restrictions they might have. This includes areas where dogs are allowed and whether they can stay overnight (all big ticks for Huntsham Court!)

3. Consider Your Dog’s Temperament: Think about whether your dog would actually enjoy being at a wedding. Some dogs might find such events overwhelming.

4. Canine Wedding Attire: Choose attire that your dog is comfortable with and accustomed to. Whether it’s a bow tie, bandanna, or flower collar, make sure it’s something they are happy wearing.

5. Have an Exit Strategy: Ensure there is a quiet space where your dog can retreat if they need a break from the festivities.

6. Don’t Task a Guest with Dog Duty: A professional chaperone ensures your guests can enjoy your wedding without the responsibility of looking after your dog.

Heart-warming Pet Stories from Real Weddings

‘One of our favourite stories involves a dog named Marley, a Great Dane, who was the ring bearer at his owners’ wedding. Marley strutted down the aisle to the Jurassic Park Theme played on the piano, bringing both smiles and tears to the guests.

Another memorable moment was a dog named Bella who walked down the aisle to ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’ from Toy Story, perfectly capturing her playful and loving personality.

These stories highlight how incorporating pets into wedding ceremonies can create unforgettable and heart-warming memories. Whether it’s a dog walking down the aisle or being part of the first look photos, these moments are cherished by couples and their guests alike.’ – Helen and Lee
